Mary's Danish were a Los Angeles band that refused to pick a lane, throwing rock, funk, country and soul into the same pot and letting it boil over. Their ranks took in James Bradley Jr., Louis Gutierrez, David King, Julie Ritter, Gretchen Seager, Christopher Scott Wagner and Chris Wagoner, a big crew for a big, messy sound.
There Goes the Wondertruck..., in 1989, brought "Don't Crash the Car Tonight", a rowdy, loose-limbed romp that sounds like a party about to get out of hand. American Standard in 1992 was their last album, four in all, and "Leave It Alone" from it leans harder into the groove. They had split by 1993, but for a few years they were a gleefully unruly presence on alternative radio.
