Austin's Divas of Dysfunction are always accepting new clients. Maurine McLean and Lisa Rogers, long-time Lone Star lesbian lampoon artists, travel the country co-facilitating "group sessions" and demonstrating that music and laughter are the best medicine. You'll find this zany and eclectic song-writing duo listed under Heavy Mental.

Lisa Rogers, a native of Self Worth, Texas, and Practitioner of the Flat Pick, has played in many bands throughout the developmental stages of her life. Her debut in the role of Addie Adjective in the grammar school grammar play provided a path to that spotlight which has proved so elusive as one of six preacher's kids. But Lisa soon realized she'd be less apt to forget her lines if they rhymed and were put to music. After having found massive amounts of award-winning song fodder as a grocery store cashier, a legal secretary, a route analyst for the sanitation department, a social worker, and a chaplain at a state mental hospital, Lisa's current presidential campaign is not only laced with lyrical lampoons, but also offers the nation a chance to "Put A Folksinger in the White House."

Maurine McLean, from Codependence, Missouri, plays bass due to sheer avarice, believing she's earning more money per note than a six-string guitar player does. Among the musical styles that influence her songwriting are comic opera, Mexican pop music, and TV theme songs of the 1960's. Music allows her to play with sound and meaning, two tireless companions. She's responsible for such Therapy Sisters songs as "My Finger is an Instrument of Death" and "Don't Touch Me When I'm Beautiful." Giving people the giggles by playing music is her greatest delight. In addition to songwriting, Maurine's love of language has led her to become a Spanish/English translator/interpreter.

Lisa's melodic guitar playing and Maurine's fretless bass go together like hallucinations and Haldol. Though accepted by no major medical insurance, The Therapy Sisters continue to offer their musical mental health care nationwide, reminding you that if you're not part of the problem, you're not part of the Family. But if you are one of the best-stressed people you know, let these regular contributors to Dr. Demento introduce your tongue to your cheek with the most affordable therapy in town.

The soundtrack to The Therapy Sisters' lives can be found in their recordings, Beyond Prescription, The Early Stages, Codependent Christmas, Sound Mind, and their latest: Do Something! and Let's Put A Folksinger in the White House.
