Persephone's Bees

You will be hearing from this bay area band very soon. I actually saw their very first gig on a halloween night in a small town on the coast of California, where it looks like you live in a postcard it is so beautiful, but not much really happens there. Unless you consider tourists visiting something happening. Signed to a major label now and they went over to England to make a couple of videos for the big push and I can tell you they are worth it. A mixture of sixties music, new wave, cabaret and singer/songwriter/keyboard player Angelina's Russian roots thrown in to the blend and you have a fun group who write melodic and well arranged songs with a different vibe to them. Tom is an amazing guitar player very tasty and inventive and can play in any style you can think of. They used to play an old Russian folk song with just Tom on electric guitar and Angelina singing in her native language and it was very beautiful... about a blue moon and or blue ice in winter if I remember correctly. If you go to their website you can hear two songs and see a video clip if you are so inclined.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot, they kick ass live!

I will write more about them at a later time. The album will be coming out in April 2006.
