about

It all began when a cocktail waitress and a bar back realized they had more in common than just drinking. Melissa Moshè & Tom Mandulak met as co-workers in 2002 at a bar in the East Village of New York City. Tom had just started playing cello and Melissa had casually written a couple of songs - so it seemed completely reasonable that they start a band. They named it Table Twelve to pay homage to their "careers" in the service industry. They performed all over the city - including the "summer subway tour" which was Melissa's brilliant idea to perform at various subway stops throughout downtown Manhattan - admission was the cost of a Metrocard ride.

After many years of playing together, performing, laughing and fighting like an old married couple Melissa & Tom were forced to separate due to geographical differences - Tom still resides in New York City and in late September 2005 Melissa returned home to Los Angeles. Melissa then teamed up with Marika Tjelios (Producer of Melissa Ferrick) and in 2008, their collaboration yielded Melissa’s debut album titled "small world for left hands".

In September 2012, Melissa completed her second full-length album titled “The Mortar That Binds Us.” with David Williams (Producer of Bonnie Pointer of The Pointer Sisters). Although Melissa was still obsessed with the cello, she branched out on this album using a variety of instrumentation to include banjo, tuba, mandolin, handclaps, snaps and other fun stuff.

Over this past year, Melissa collaborated with S'Von Ringo (Producer) and David Williams (Producer & Engineer) to complete a 3 song EP titled, "Mandatory Fields". We hope you enjoy it!

lyrics

Empty Room
Written, performed and co-produced by Melissa Moshé (ASCAP 2004).


Don’t know which way I turned to that night
Don’t know why I couldn’t look at you
You never do
Anything that makes sense to me

My empty room
Fears packed away
Finally walking out that door

Leaving behind the pain that would surface years later
Perfunctory smile
Making it all better

And you never call
When you say you will
Honor what your mouth says
Be gentle with my kindness
Understand, what you took from me
I’m finally free
And oh, I’m walking out the door

Said I’m walking out the door

You held on to me despite my hesitation
Relinquished to you
But no more
No more, I’m walking out the door

Said I’m walking out the door.
