Iridescent Sparks: ©2020 Thea D. Kearney & Nancy J. Cook (ASCAP) Waking up from a dream Waiting on a message from you You warm me up with golden lights Symbols to show you Did I show you? Iridescent sparks playing darts with my heart Iridescent sparks playing darts with my head Light it up Light it up and buzz away from the sounds and the silence left behind Another day just passing by Waiting on messages that flicker from you Turns me on and turns me off But was it clear what I said? Or did you wonder why you see a question mark instead? Iridescent sparks playing darts with my heart Iridescent sparks playing darts with my head Light it up Light it up and buzz away from the sounds and the silence left behind Iridescent sparks playing darts with my heart and my head Iridescent sparks playing darts with my heart and my head ©2020 Thea D.

Everybody Wants to Be a Rock Star ©2020 Thea D. Kearney & Nancy J. Cook (ASCAP) Here he comes around again He's got a problem with her boyfriend He always needs a shoulder to cry and someone to stroke his mind Call me up on the telephone Oh wait baby, accept and hold Call me up on the telephone It’s Hollywood on the line Cause everybody wants to be a Rock Star Here he comes around again He needs a place where he can roam He always wants the girls in the fantasy and the oysters to call his own Call me up on the telephone Oh wait baby, accept and hold Call me up on the telephone It’s Hollywood on the line Cause everybody wants to be a Rock Star Here he comes around again, looking mighty fine. He’s got the girl from the movies, but the band left him behind Call me up on the telephone Oh wait baby, accept and hold Call me up on the telephone It’s Hollywood on the line Cause everybody wants to be a Rock Star Cause everybody wants to be a Rock Star Cause everybody wants to be a Rock Star ©2020 Thea D.

Swirling Rose Hips Tea ©2020 Thea D. Kearney & Nancy J. Cook (ASCAP) Standing tall in corners of the room stolen glances turn to smiles Laces tied tight and pointed towards you have me running to grasses and beds of hay You send me swirling with a spoonful of sugar in my rose hips tea Swirling spinning Swirling spinning Swirling spinning in my rose hips tea The two of us tied together like a baby in a tigers jaw Is this what you wanted? Take a chance tumble down the hill with me You send me swirling with a spoonful of sugar in my rose hips tea Swirling spinning Swirling spinning Swirling spinning in my rose hips tea Dampen me with your tongue playfully loosening up my mind I taste the sodium on your skin your soft kisses on my lids so sweet Linen clouds cover my eyes and I just want to fly Swirling spinning Swirling spinning Swirling spinning ©2020 Thea D. Kearney & Nancy J. Cook (ASCAP) All rights reserved.

Piece of Cake ©2020 Thea D. Kearney & Nancy J. Cook (ASCAP) Have to buy the food Got to make the beds Have to be the one to eat the heels of the bread Have to file the taxes Got to pay the rent Have to figure out how much money that I’ve spent A piece of cake, a piece of cake All I wanted was a piece of cake A piece of cake, a piece of cake All I wanted was a piece of cake So, why can’t I have my cake and eat it too? Want to use the brushes Need to stir the paint Want to find a way to be free from restraint A piece of cake, a piece of cake All I wanted was a piece of cake A piece of cake, a piece of cake All I wanted was a piece of cake So why can’t I have my cake and eat it too? I want to have it all and I’m willing to try Keep at it until I find the surprise But lack of sleep and little time Has got me autoimmune comprised I want to have my cake and eat it too I’ve worked hard through and through Seven layer icing and bon bon dreams It’s all a piece of cake and you know it’s true A piece of cake, a piece of cake All I wanted was a piece of cake A piece of cake, a piece of cake All I wanted was a piece of cake So why can’t I have my cake and eat it too A piece of cake, a piece of cake All I wanted was a piece of cake A piece of cake, a piece of cake All I wanted was a piece of cake ©2020 Thea D.

about

Indie Post-Punk Pop Rock All-Female Band From New Jersey:

Thea Kearney and Nancy Cook found they had a shared interest in both music and visual art when they first met walking their children to school in Maplewood.

In the past few years they have both exhibited visual work in local galleries like 1978 Gallery and Pierro Gallery. Nancy is a talented textile and fibers artist and Thea creates paintings, drawing, and mixed media shadow boxes.

Originally performing with her own trio, Thea had recently been playing guitar and singing with local band Dollar Store Riot, while Nancy was curating music and art shows, pop ups, local events and DJ’ing.

In Fall of 2018, after attending a local version of a national music event called Porchfest they started talking about forming a band and soon began co-writing songs while also working on covers. They found a local drummer, CJ Jeiven (Bambi) and started practicing in Nancy’s garage. In early 2020 bass player Kristy Ranieri (Marco Ranieri Band, The Friggs) joined them.

The four were in the process of practicing for their debut performance in June 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic hit. Instead, they decided to release a E.P. of original songs mostly recorded from their homes.

Megasparkle’s 5 song E.P. Swirling Glitter will be released February 2021 on Sea Dragon Records.
