Upholstery is a coalition currently comprised of Corey Mark, David Fishkin, Jason Carr, and orchestrated by Js. Prouty. We are based out of Philadelphia and are currently working on new material that focuses primarily on Clydesdales & Tardigrades. Upholstery's sound can best be likened to
the two aforementioned creatures, as well as bent-up-full-of-smoke-eyes.

Success! Rails is now through and it was, well, a success! Upholstery wants to thank everyone involved for making it so spectacular. (And a big thanks to everyone that was there to see it all unfold!)
a word from the critics:
As our commenters have beaten me to reporting, many kudos are in order to the creators of this fiendishly satisfying noir comedy/thriller: for its inventive blending of puppetry (including a broom-stick housewife and, best of all, bowler-hatted bowling-pin mafiosos) and live action (notably Kate Black-Regan’s delectably diabolical turn as flame-haired femme fatale-cum-damsel in distress); playwright C. Kennedy’s witty way with genre tropes and comic banter, and smoky, spot-on scoring from local prog-jazz combo Upholstery. Bravo, folks — looking forward to more Stumble Goat productions in the future.

The future looks bright for Uph. Our next album, Clydesdales & Tardigrades, is sounding better and better. And rumor has it we will be collaborating with StumbleGoat Productions again soon.

Success! The next Upholstery show is scheduled for Friday, May 1st. This will be our third show at Inciting Hq since our record release party over a year ago. AND we will be playing with Zevious. Zevious (which features Upholstery's bassist, J. DeBlase) is one of our absolute favorite acts to see live. They play punk jazz. Or thrash jazz. Or thrash punk. Not sure. But it's fast. Elegant, raunchy, and fast.

Corey, Alison, and I have started rehearsing material for the next album (my fourth full-length),
Clydesdales & Tardigrades. For whatever reason, it is some of the most mournful material I have ever written. Yet, somehow in a good way. Also, we hope to host the next Upholstery show the first weekend of May.
Stay tuned for hazy details and foggy notions.
