SISTER CRAYON

Everyone experiences pain in life. But there are a precious few who know how to turn it into something truly beautiful.

Growing up in the rougher neighborhoods of Sacramento, music was always a refuge for Terra Lopez. But it wasn’t until a period of quiet isolation in Long Beach after high school that she first began to write and perform her own songs, armed only with a loop pedal, a classical guitar and her haunting voice. Music was no longer just an escape, but a way of processing and sharing her pain with the world.

Around this time, Lopez wrote a letter to a close friend after a night of drinking. When she awoke the next morning, she noticed that she had inexplicably signed the letter “Sister Crayon.” The name seemed to fit perfectly with the new electronically driven songs she would soon develop with Dani Fernandez (beats/programming) and Jeffrey LaTour (keyboards/guitar).

If Sister Crayon’s songs reflect the hurt and melancholy of the human experience, their performances represent the inevitable catharsis. The band’s live show is an explosion of passion and sound, a plea for the audience to unleash their own troubles into the ether.

After releasing their debut album Bellow in February on Manimal Vinyl Records, the band toured relentlessly with acts including The Album Leaf and El Ten Eleven. They will remain on the road for much of 2012 while continuing to work on material for a new album.

SEA OF BEES

There are the California girls that you know, sun-kissed and white-toothed, easy on the grey cells, easy to tire of.

Then there are the other California girls, the ones you can’t shake.

Julie Ann Baenziger – Jules – was born in the suburbs of Roseville, just outside of Sacramento, CA, quiet and shy, eccentric but happy. She grew up safe and warm, in a sheltered family, content to not know what she wanted to do with her life. Then in her late teens, she went to church with her sister, heard an older girl singing, and fell in love with her instead of God.

Suddenly she knew what she wanted, what she had to do – become a musician, and get her music into the world. But it was only years later, when Jules became Sea Of Bees, that she became herself. When you hear her, you realise she is the kind of singer-songwriter you come across only a few times in a lifetime – special, unusual, leaping out at you like an alien, her character fully-formed, her uniqueness intact.
