Biography
"Sirius.B is trova italiana, war song, gypsy, middle eastern, quasi-Klezmer-seculare,
with strong Irish-drinking overtones and Zappa madness."
-Ricardo Cobo
In the the Mountain XPress's Best of Western North Carolina,
Sirius.B has been voted:
#1 Next Big Thing
#1 Rock Band
#1 Experimental Band
#2 Indie Band
#3 Live Show of 2009
(Beating Sirius.B for live Best Live Show were The Beastie Boys and Phish.)
Sirius.B brings to you the finest Absurdist Gypsy Folk Funk Punk that the world has to offer. Their "impressively irreverent, combustible, three-ring circus of sound [and] high-energy style is difficult to neatly categorize. They play foreign music as well as upbeat and serious originals, with a lyrical style ranging from the quirky to the absurd."
-Mountain Xpress
Sirius.B's music is created with an eclectic mix of vocal harmonies and instruments including cello, accordion, violin, marching band & African percussion, charango, flamenco and acoustic guitar, banjo, and melodica.
“Sirius.B. carries the brewing excitement of something big in the making."
-Alli Marshall, Mountain Xpress
