Long Beach's Lisa Mychols, aka the 'Queen of Power Pop,' formed and fronted the fondly remembered underground pop combo the Masticators in 1998, releasing the seminal album Masticate! in 2000. Alongside that, Lisa was working with Darian Sahanaja and Nick Walusko, of the Wondermints (regular backing band for Brian Wilson) on her first solo album, Lost Winter's Dream (1991) a Christmas/winter album that only saw a proper release a decade later and is now regarded as a lost classic. Lisa re-recorded 2017's "The Joy is in the Giving" especially for this album.
