ook op dezelfde avond in Rotown zijn Brooklyn duo SHE KEEPS BEES te bewonderen!
SHE KEEPS BEES are a bass-less boy/girl duo from Brooklyn, who say they are influenced by the likes of Otis Redding, Grace Jones, Nina Simone, and Joan Armatrading, but sound more like they are the missing link between Mazzy Star, Nina Simone and PJ Harvey, with a bit of The Carpenters or Patti Smith thrown in for good measure! A few years ago (at the time of their debut album) they had been described as an indie soul-blues two piece, but have since been compared to The White Stripes (only in reverse roles) and Blood Red Shoes. Their debut album "Minisink Hotel" was released over in the States back in 2006, and their latest album "Nests" came out last year, which they have now followed up with the "Revival" EP in Europe which was released last month (May 2009) and is available through the Rough Trade Records shop (code: CDS names35cd) - She Keeps Bees (SKB) will be touring across Europe from June to September, and they are playing various dates in France and across the UK, along with one date so far in the Benelux region, in Middelburg, on 3rd July. SKB are Jessica Larrabee on vocals and guitar, and Andy LaPlant on drums, and are ones to keep an eye out for. - AAPA - June 2009
