09 Mar 10 // She Keeps Bees, Oh Ruin, Musee Mechanique Tue 9th March 2010 The Lexington, Pentonville Road, N1She 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!
