Artist description
Treading that fine line between indie and what could be the new mainstream, Philadelphia-based Pale Blue has spent the last two years refining their textured sound. At times, this 5-piece is reminiscent of Bends-era Radiohead, at others they present influences from bands like Blondie and the Smiths.
Their distinctive yet contagious sound starts on the lips of Sanna, adding a new dynamic to this style of music. Anchored with the desire to create a huge and potent quality in the music, the rhythm section of D$ and his big bottom drum grooves, and Juice laying down solid and melodic bass lines hits you in the chest like a sledgehammer. Jiggs' unique guitar style switches between warm chord tones and his own brand of noise making, and Tucky fluctuates his guitar playing between fiery outbreaks and mellow broken chord shapes.
"The band blends a lot of different mod/pop styles in their uniquely fused alt sound..." writes local promoter Ed Jones of Budzilla Productions. "Fronted by super sexy Sanna and anchored by really tight rhythms, Pale Blue offers a high energy, can't sit down live set..."
In April 2002, Pale Blue released their first studio recording, a five song EP of original music entitled "Five Faces." The band spread their wings, organizing and playing numerous benefits. The band's song "Little Too Late," recorded live during an acoustic performance in September 2001, made it into Mp3's national top 20 and garnered great praise from online listeners.
In the spring on 2003, the band released their second EP "Check Your Local Listings," which displays a band coming into their own and defining a rawness and edge they had not experimented with. By continuing to publicize their name and aggressively promoting their music, Pale Blue has developed and maintained a high profile in the Philly music underground. The roller coaster ride continues..."Check your local listings." |
