Sweet Soubrette, a "sensational" (Philadelphia
Inquirer) and "enchanting" (Metro NY) ukulele-powered indie rock band
based in NYC, will be touring the Northeast U.S. in support of their latest
release, “What’s My Desire?” a 4-song EP that previews the third album now
underway. The EP's dark and
passionate title track was inspired by the book Henry and June by Anaïs Nin, a
work based on Nin's diaries when she was romantically involved with author
Henry Miller and becoming a serious writer herself. Love, art and ambition
collide in this powerful song.
Check out new, fan-shot footage of Sweet Soubrette singing
the title track of the EP at NYC's Cake Shop in July:
Check out the disco-pop of "Be My Man," from the
same July show:
Sweet Soubrette features the songwriting, vocals, and
ukulele of Ellia Bisker, whose dark, edgy love songs have been honored with
three ASCAPlus awards. Sweet
Soubrette has appeared in variety shows and cabarets, at rock clubs and on
singer-songwriter stages, in cultural festivals and comedy shows, circus shows
and art galleries, puppet shows and performance art installations, and has
toured in Italy and France.
The Philadelphia Inquirer has called Sweet Soubrette's music
"dark vaudeville-pop." Time Out New York dubbed it "at once
sweet and sassy, celebrating reckless behavior with a charmed wink." The
Deli Magazine has praised Sweet Soubrette's "rock star command and
intelligently crafted music."
