JUST ANOTHER FOLK SINGER CHASING AFTER THE DEVIL AND THE DEEP BLUE SEA "She's chasin' her demons. She thinks that she's leavin' 'em all behind to find a place to be free. She's got no good reason. She's just stuck inbetween the devil and the deep blue sea." Mystie Chamberlin moved from Chicago to New York in May of 2006 with only a bass guitar, a duffel bag, and a pillow. After a very brief stint playing bass in the amateurish outfit ThrowAway Grrls, more than a few lapses in judgment, countless adventures, and a heartbreak or two, she estranged herself into her apartment and began learning how to play guitar. "I never thought I was talented enough to play guitar. I saved up all my money one year when I was about 16 years old to buy my sister a Rickenbacker that my best friend’s father was selling. She was always the outgoing one. She and our father gave me a bass guitar, an electric blue Yamaha. I took some lessons at the local music shop, however I never got much further than learning the strings and playing a riff of Cream’s 'Sunshine Of Your Love'." In 2004, Mystie imposed herself on a group of East Village Artists known as the Antagonist Movement, a group of artists in New York City who aim to push art, themselves, and each other to create. By 2008, she played a handful of shows with her merch-girl business partner and bassist, Charlotte Eerie (billed cleverly as The Merch Grrls), only to discover herself plagued with all-encompassing stage-fright.
