|   June 28, 2010 - 03:26 PMI have followed your group for some time now and I visit this site regularily. I would ask that you set "christmas wrapping" back on your site so we could listen again. Thanks | ||||||||
| June 01, 2010 - 02:17 AM mate this is a great site for backgrond material on a great band. I remember the waitresses" from the top 40 "boys like.." song from the early 1980s. Looking at the recent and growing new wave (1977- 83) revival - with band like the killers, franz ferdinand, etc - the waitresses were a vastly underestimated pop "new wave" band- a la devo, reflecting the other side of the new wave genre. Listening to their material on the best of album confirms that wow, they (Chris Butler?) were amazingly clever songwriters and lyricists with great musical hooks. And to discover that they came out of the same time + town as Devo...and that there was a kent state connection ...What was it about Akron, Ohio that made these great bands?? | ||||||||
| May 02, 2010 - 01:52 PM Wow....Just saw "I know what boys like" on VH1 Classics...decided to google them to see what they were up to....Saddened to hear about Patty...I"ve always played them on my IPOD....Love the 80"s......Christmas Wrapping is still my favorite Christmas / Holiday song...Thank you for the site JW......P&L......Andrew. | ||||||||

| March 10, 2010 - 06:42 PM thank you thank you thank you - waitresses songs still are the most empathetic, sane, eloquent songs out there. how do smart people stay happy? listening to the waitresses is a great start. fun and funny and completely addictive - two albums and an ep simply aren"t enough! but they"ll have to do for now.. | ||||||||

| January 15, 2010 - 03:20 AM The first Waitresses song I ever heard was "Christmas Wrapping", which was used on the show Gilmore Girls. I love the song "Wasn"t Tomorrow Wonderful" too! :) Both songs are great, they"re great, and the music used on Gilmore Girls was always great. | ||||||||

| December 28, 2009 - 08:30 PM thanks for developing this, can you get the videos up and running? | ||||||||
| December 28, 2009 - 01:11 PM I first heard "Christmas Wrapping" on the radio a few years ago. I didn"t know who it was by, and it wasn"t until last year when I bought a Christmas compilations cd that I found out it was the Waitresses. Since then I have wanted to know more and more about the band and I am so glad to have found this site. I love "Christmas Wrapping", it makes me really happy to hear it at Christmas. I am saddened at the fact that Patty is no longer with us, she was my age when she died. Now I have found this site I am going to listen and get to know more of the tracks so the Waitresses can live on in my heart. Thank you. | ||||||||
| December 23, 2009 - 05:51 PM wow-where was this great Christmas song all these years! Thanks for the lyric sheet. I know of the Waitresses from "I know What Boys Like", but that was it. Now, a new Christmas classic. | ||||||||
| December 11, 2009 - 02:49 PM Coming up on another Christmas...your wonderful voice will be heard all over radioland. Making people smile as you always do. It"s been 13 years and two days since we last saw you..... but, our love, thoughts and your spirit and are with us -all year round... Always. On behalf of your fans Merry Xmas, Patty. We miss you. Thank you Mr. Butler - for all you gave and all you continue to give... Peace. | ||||||||

| October 21, 2009 - 01:41 AM I just watched The Waitresses Live at Hurrah"s! I used to frequent that club, but saw them at the Bottom Line and another time in Jersey. Not sure where. Oh, I also saw Tin Huey. Chris B was in that band also. It"s great to relive the times! | ||||||||
