Dag for Dag
American-Swedish. They are brother and sister - “closer than I
could ever imagine being to my sister” they’ve been told - and are damn
proud of it. Blood is tough, strong, and couldn’t give a fuck about
time zones and social codes. Nomadic wanderers living in Greece,
Spain, Wisconsin, Honolulu, Stockholm...
Three years ago, Sweden seemed as good a place as any to settle down for a while for
Sarah Parthemore Snavely and Jacob Donald Snavely. To share a
crows-nest sized room, buy a bicycle, fall from grace, wake up new,
pick up a guitar, steal a 4-track, take mercy on an abandoned piano,
and get to work. Thus was born Dag för Dag.
The first release ‘Shooting From The Shadows’ EP was released on
Saddle Creek Records in May 09 and since then, together with drummer
Chuck Bukowski, Dag för Dag
have toured raucously with Wolf Parade, Cursive, Lykke Li, Shout Out
Louds, Handsome Furs, The Faint and The Kills. Every show an explosion
in gold and sweat. A ‘Joy Division chorus’, ‘Kate Bush and Jim
Morrison would ride the sea to one of their shanties,”
She Keeps Bees
Formed in 2006, Brooklyn's She Keeps Bees are a couple/band you WON'T want to slap the crap out of. Their music is bluesy, but not what you're thinking. Jessica sings 'til her stomach hurts while Andy holds down the rhythm - lumberjack style.
The music is simple, gritty and downright sexy. . Howlin' Wolf and Millie Jackson to start, but you'll probably hear PJ Harvey in there too.
This homemade recording keeps it real simple: drums, guitar and little else. Recorded over the course of 2008, eMusic hailed Nests as "absolutely astonishing... every song is great." Other Music NYC described Nests as "packed with straightforward, rocking electric guitar...a shoo-in for one of the new music highlights of the year."
‘With their primal thumping and hollering, this boy-girl duo make a raunchy racket with their rough-and-ready blues-rock’ – The Guardian ‘Band Of The Day’
‘A Sultry mix of shuffling rhythms, dark, bluesy riffs and melodies that are simples aching with longing’ – NME
‘She keeps bees might be just the kind of sting you’re after’ - Kruger
‘Stripped-to-the-bone and down-durdy chunk of blues-splashed, garaged-reared rock n soul’ – Time Out
She Keeps Bees are going to set your pants on fire!
