In my last post I listed my favorite New York based bands. Well, I need to add a name to that list. The band is She Keeps Bees and man do they rock! Jessica Larrabee sings and plays guitar and Andy LaPlant accompanies her on drums. That’s right, they’re only a two piece! Their music is intense and raw; think The White Stripes or The Black Keys but with a female singer who gets compared to artists like Cat Power and PJ Harvey. Take a look for yourself:
Was I lying?! If you like what you see, the band is playing two gigs in Brooklyn this weekend before touring the country (Dates: Friday, June 25th, 7pm at Littlefield Performance and Art Space, & Saturday, June 26th, 4pm at Bar Matchless). They also have two bad-ass albums, MINISINK HOTEL, released in 2006, and NESTS released in 2008. I’ll be at the show on Saturday, so come and join me for a beer and some fantastic music!
