“head banging while hugging a tree”

Saint Babe is a forceful weft of fuzzy, thumping, psych-rock texture and experimental, laid-back, ambient space.

Their sneaky powerhouse female front and duetting guitarist often steer the music into fierce rawness, then abruptly opposite towards soft melodic heart.

Big muff bass, wicked rhythm guitar, and feral drums pulsify and contain the soulful, swinging pendulum. There is lore that no Saint Babe song is ever played the same way twice. Their lyricism encourages introspection, connection, evolution, dissection of the human experience.

The result is best analogized by head banging while hugging a tree.

The divine in us sees the divine in you... Saint Babe is going on.

The band formed in a dark, hole-in-the-wall dive, The Big Legrowlski

… where musicians of all skill levels come weekly to improvise together, live.

Fate surely organized Bernadette and David's meeting, whose vocals and guitar melodies would stop each other in their tracks-- and anyone passing by.

Their jams left many dumbfounded, including Everett Durrett. He was quick to notice their magnetism, and soon joined to push the volume and intensity of each improvised jam between the two of them.

From the side of the same stage, Diz and Danny were watching, and waiting for a chance to share a buttery bass riff and subtle texture, respectively.

The jams at the bar are spontaneous performances-- musicians have no idea who they will be playing with next. It could only have been a godly orchestration (or persuasion of the MC) for Bernadette, David, Everett, Diz, and Danny to share the stage together.

The energy was titanic

It needed exploring

And so we’re exploring it, and sharing what we find with you, and the world.

We bare our souls in our songs, to help you connect more deeply with yours.
