| Southern California edition Written by Amy De Zellar |
| "Chanteuse Mallari has a robust voice that manages to fuse the enthusiasm of Bjork and Lena Lovich with earthly finesse of |
| Chrissy Hynde. On rhythm guitar she lays down an energetic sonic lattice work and yes, Santiago's lead playing does tend |
| to lend a Pixie-ish quality to their sound....." |

CD Review Written by Ericka-Rachelle Mendoza email: Fyizine@aol.com Female fyi June 98 Issue #58 |
| "Rythmic, sweet, pop-ish and more..........The music is strong here and there is a perfect meshing of vocal talent and instrumental ability. |
|
This is one of the bands you should definitely try to see playing live,their stamina and energy is just as contagious on-stage as well as off." |

Show Review Written by Brian Broccoli Potpourri Roses January 1999 Vol.1, Issue #4 |
| "Known to the world as the Martinis, Linda Mallari stood up front on rhythm guitar & lead vocals while Joey Santiago the one & only, |
stood to the side & worked his lead guitar with a prowess that captivated the crowd...Linda perhaps had the most fun out of anyone in the club. |
| She was always armed with a smile & some friendly, between-song banter. Joey, however, looked as though he'd sooner crack the safe at |
| Fort Knox than a smile. Linda's charismatic singing, Joey's Joeyness & the band's This-is-the future-of Rock & Roll music is guaranteed |
to bring those industry types sniffing around. So catch them at cozy, local venues while you can..." |

Article Written by Cary Rodda Sacramento News & Review Feb. 18, 1999 Volume 10,No.46 |
| "It's always tough for a new band to carve out an identity for itself. But the process gets even harder when the band has been formed by |
| someone whose previous group was one of the seminal forces in alternative rock. That's exactly the situation facing guitarist Joey Santiago's |
| new band, The Martinis......Santiago was an important part of the Pixies, whose music continues to shape the sound of modern rock.... |
| But the fact is that the Martinis' music does somewhat echo that of Santiago's old band. That can primarily be chalked up |
| to the fact that his guitar style was such an important part of the Pixies' sound. "I would like to think that I still have |
| the sound,"Santiago admits. There are some important differences between the bands though, starting most significantly with Santiago's wife, |
| Linda Mallari, who plays guitar and handles the vocals for the Martinis. Her voice is strong and melodious, and as the front person |
|
for the band, she has an engaging personality...." |
