1) Mirror Mirror was started in late 2003 by David Riley and Ryan Lucero. They played their first shows with drum machines and bass, incorporating costumes, props and sets. Since then, they’ve played around NY, LA, Providence, Miami and Paris with bands like Get Hustle, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Japanther, Telepathe, Lansing-Drieden, Experimental People, Lispector, Phiiliip, BARR etc.
They quickly learned that playing at galleries/art spaces gave them more control over the performance and presentation. They could play with visual projections, or behind a wall, or lying down. They began to question the standard punk DIY ethos—a band plays loudly on a stage in a dark, dirty club, usually drunk. That didn’t stop them from playing that kind of show, but they tried to develop the communal, "cult-like" aspects of our shows with intimate sing-alongs and stranger environments. Musicians have always exploited the cult-like aspects of music and their fans and we’ve tried to explore that.
They’ve also recruited new members, expanding to include a drummer (Matt Bagdanoff), additional guitarists, and a rotating cast of guest performers.
A brief discography (going backwards):
MM presents The Society for the Advancement of Inflammatory Consciousness:
This loosely conceptual album focuses on the Society, its members, and their surroundings. There are some folky singalongs, sinister rock songs, robotic choral pieces, interludes etc.. The album is populated with the multiple personalities and POVs of the Society, as well as aspiring followers, runaways, communists, hustlers, party goers, and music producers. There’s definitely a West coast feel to it, sort of like Day of the Locust or White Album (the book not the record). Thematically the album explores seduction, betrayal, escape and transformation. It’s an admiring/skeptical look at new age mysticism, and the unfulfilled promises of the hippie era
super cheap practical.
This was a collection of deliberately hackneyed song and video pieces inspired by commercials, accompanied by an altar-like installation.
Troop 48:
This soundtrack and installation was part of the K48 show of the same name. We wrote ambient songs for lonely boy scouts in rainy forests. We also provided a tent and some inspirational banners. www.k48rules.com. We’ve contributed songs to a number of issues, including the latest Prison issue, it’s a great magazine.
MM EP: This was our debut, with lots of theatrical, trashy, over-the-top rock sleaze, cabaret type ballads, and slow building, multi-tracked pop pieces
As for the future… we have a number of projects in the works. We’re continuing with our strange brand of concept music, developing our performances, and trying to incorporate more people and visuals. We’re also finishing the installations and videos that go with our music, esp. the latest album—we see them as one overarching project. Beyond that, we’re working on a horror movie set at a new age spa (and soundtrack), as well as an experimental feature about the late astrologer and ketamine evangelist Marcia Moore.

Mirror Mirror Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you're really so small
How could you
Make that poor boy crawl
'Specially when he's locked in the hall
'Specially when he's just about to fall
Now you can see him stall
Anyone can take a chance
But you're not much good at romance
'Cos you've come up against a wall
You think you're so great
But you're really so small
And you should have heard him call
You talk so big
But you don't recognise
That all you gotta do
Is stop telling lies
Look at the skies
You'll get wise
Your ego dies
Any fool can steal
Anyone can pretend to feel
But you're not much good at the wheel
'Cos you've come up against the wall
You think you're so great
But you're really so small
And you should have heard him call
You jump so fast (You jump so fast)
And you can't even see (You can't even see)
That it's your past (It's your past)
That won't let you be
Floating and free
Just think of me
Jumping with glee
Any fool can hate
Anyone can try to relate
But you're not much good in this state
'Cos you've come up against the wall
You think you're so great
But you're really so small
And you should have heard him call
The song "U" by Mirror Mirror seems to be addressed to someone who thinks highly of themselves but the reality is that they are actually a small person. The lyrics suggest that this person has hurt someone else, likely a romantic partner, and left them feeling trapped, falling, and calling out for help. The singer of the song is pointing out that this person is not good at romance and is only coming up against walls despite their attempting to dance, steal, and hate.
The song takes a critical look at those who have inflated egos and do not recognize how their actions can hurt those around them. It suggests that it is important to be honest with oneself, recognize the impact one's actions have on others, and work towards being a better person. The repeated line "you think you're so great, but you're really so small" drives home the idea that being great isn't just about how one sees themselves, it's about the impact they have on others.
Overall, the song "U" by Mirror Mirror is a thought-provoking and critical look at the impact one's actions can have on those around them, specifically in the realm of romantic relationships.
