SABROSA PURR-at The Roxy, January 8th

Back at the Roxy!!! It's going to be a killer line-up, stay tuned for updates!!!

It's Raining

Why is everybody freaking out?

Zeppelin in a '68 Nova, Radiohead in a '08 Prius

So, while we were filming our first video last weekend, for our song "Hope I'm Not An Idiot", I said to Jeff as I was driving us around in a bad-ass 1968 Chevy Nova, "Y'know Jeff, I think there's a huge difference between driving around in a new Prius bumping the new Radiohead and driving around back in the day in a fucking pimped out Chevy Nova listening to a new Zeppelin record."

Don't get me wrong, I love Radiohead and I'm down with the Prius. But...

Live in Los Angeles!

Sabrosa Purr at The Echo, Sunday, October 12th 2008. Playing with Killdozer.

Sabrosa Purr with Under The Influence of Giants at Spaceland!!!

We're quite excited about our upcoming show at Spaceland with Under the Influence of Giants! We haven't played at Spaceland since our residency there 2 years ago!!!

This will probably be our last LA show for the remainder of 2008 since we're diving back into the studio and beginning work on our next record. Well, maybe two new records actually. We'll keep you posted on that.

So, if you're in the Los Angeles area, please come out. It's a free show! And it's a great line-up that night.

Jeff and I played "Tard and Feathered" today with Carina Round

There's a wonderful, weekly gathering of musicians, poets, actors, and just fine folks called "Tard and Feathered" in Studio City. We've been trying to check it out for months and finally got to one. Jeff and I played solo sets actually and by "solo", I mean Jeff joined me 3 songs in to add his saucy magic to what are Sabrosa Purr songs anyway. Jeff, of course, did a great job in his solo set. It's always nice to sit out in the audience and watch Jeff do his thing. I missed The Idyllists because I had to go get some dinner, but made it back in time for the f*cking astounding set by Carina Round. If you haven't seen her, GO TO THE NEXT SHOW! Hey, Interscope, nice move letting that one slip through your fingers. Jesus Christ. The record industry deserves absolutely NO sympathy.

We need coffee...

We've been walking home after sunrise to go to bed from the previous nights' festivities. Bring ON THE COFFEE. It's great though. We're staying on the Lower East Side for the first time and finally see why people love it so much. So much going on, it's probably good that we don't live here right now. We'd just hang out and never get any work done. Then again, that might be just what we need! :)

Tonight we play Rehab at Midnight!!!

Come on down.

Sabrosa Purr takes on New York!

We landed last night, got to our manager's apartment around 3 in the morning, now we're getting ready to head to the Belmont Lounge for a midnight set. Should be interesting, since we couldn't find a drumset to borrow. We went to the Manhattan Guitar Center this afternoon and bought a cheap drum machine for Ry to use, and now we're about to "wing it" and completely improvise a set that we've never rehearsed.
Shit yeah!
We'll keep you posted.

Guess what?!

I saw a dog today.

Prince and Portishead at Coachella!

Ho-Lee-Crap.

EARLY this night. These are all killer bands, so come
early and stay for everyone. Be festive folks.

I'm in love with Bill Withers

This is Will speaking. It's true. I can't get Bill
Withers' "Ain't No Sunshine" out of my head. I want to
hear it constantly. There's a live performance of it
on The Old Grey Whistle Test DVD that our producer
Tracy Chisholm loaned to me. (By loaned to me, I mean
that I've had it for about 9 months and he may never
get it back). It just blows me away. It's less than 2
minutes long and it's f*cking gorgeous.

Then I read a recent interview with Bill where he the
interviewer was asking him about his feeling's on the
sampling of his work by modern artists, primarily in
hip-hop. His open-minded, supportive and reverant
answer made me love him even more.

"Ain't No Sunshine when she's gone..."

I sing it EVERY day.
