"As you might expect from a band that cops their name from a Monty Python skit, the four members of the upbeat East Bay based band Comfy Chair..." -Musicians of the Week, Oakland Tribune (full feature interview)



"Swingin' and Slammin' - Comfy Chair is San Francisco's original 'slamswing' band, playing a time-travelling, upbeat mix of modern rock and traditional swing jazz." -feature, SF Chronicle Datebook



"In addition to its music, the band uses theatrical devices to propel its show. Part of this gig involves imaginary time travel in H.G. Wells' armchair, which stops here and there so the band can play music of the era." -Aaron Tassano, Critics' Choice, Oakland Tribune



"HI-DEE HI-DEE HI-DEE ... OY? Would Cab Calloway stage-dive if he were alive and youthful today?" -Tony Hicks, East Bay Buzz, San Ramon Valley Times (mini-feature interview)



"Local slam swing band Comfy Chair hosted a Party on the Titanic, celebrating their CD release with champagne and good cheer all around..." -ArtBeat, SF Bay Guardian



"I got there too late to see Comfy Chair but I heard they were the best band ever in the history of time and that their not winning (DiscMakers' IMWS contest) was a heinous travesty" -Greg Heller, BAM Magazine



"Hopelessly hip and plagued with a killer sense of timing and style. Impeccably dressed and swinging from the word go." -Discmakers, on Comfy Chair's performance at their Independent Music World Series contest held at the Great American Music Hall



"The band presents an eclectic mix of influences that has an immediate impact. I'm certain Comfy Chair could be a suitable support act for any number of major shows." -John Lochen, The Rosebud Agency
