S I R S Y (pronounced "sir - see"): Fiery, sultry, & soulful indie pop that rocks!
"LITTLE BAND... BIG SOUND!" --The Boston Globe (Boston, MA).
"Krahmer can sing, scream, blow flute, drum, & tease, and she does them all REALLY well. Libutti plays everything else (he even uses his feet!) ... Go see sirsy!" --The Village Voice (NYC).
"Radio friendly, and eye-friendly, but the material is actually REALLY good. Like pop songs used to be before MTV. --Indie Sounds NY (NYC).
Fronted by the charismatic Melanie Krahmer ...with a "stunning voice capable of a lion's roar & a floaty whisper", with “the lungs of a teenage athlete & the growl of a sixty something blues singer". She "plays Ian Anderson-esque flute solos", & "drums like a rockstar, standing up!". Sharing the stage is cowriter, Rich Libutti, a "dynamo on BOTH bass & guitar” who even "plays a snare with his feet (during her flute solos) so the drums don’t stop! It’s a Must - See!"
Since SIRSY's incarnation in the spring of 2000, they have accrued an enormous list of accomplishments that would seem impossible for an unsigned band. Playing over 250 shows per year, they've shared the stage with Maroon5, Collective Soul, Lifehouse, Cheap Trick, Blues Traveler, and more! Hailed by the Boston Globe, New York City's Village Voice, and countless others, SIRSY is said to "stir the soul even more when you see them live than on their critically acclaimed recordings". Perhaps this explains their large and devoted cult following...
This IS their day job. Yes, that means they're broke, but it also means they're hungry and passionate and ALWAYS working at their craft. You won't find a more devoted band...

I am just amazed! I first saw them at our marina on Sacandaga Lake (Dominick\'s) many years ago and knew then that they would go far. What a voice! Melanie and Rich didn\'t let the loss of some band members get in the way of their passion, I think it only fueled it :) I am proud toknow who they are.

Simply amazing! I liked this CD so much that I got the Ruby CD also. Well polished professionals here. I liked them enough that I drove 3 hours to see one of their shows! You can not miss with any of their songs. Excellent live also.

This CD, is my current favorite and is playing on my iPOD right now. There isn't a single dud on this album, all tracks just speak to me. It doesn't get much better then this CD, and there is something there for everyone. With Melanine's amazingly versitle voice and Rich's insane ability to play anything complemented by some of the best lyrics that I have heard in a very long time, I must say that this album is a must have!!!

Make Your Own...
author: Kriste Matrisch
Sirsy just continues to amaze. Don't let the bio of a duo fool you; they rock out and have more passion as two-piece than I've seen of many other four- or five-piece bands. All of these songs are worth every dollar you can spend on this...and more! From the sentimental, but melodic "Mary Concetta" to the subdued "Fireflies" to the rock-out "Oh! Billy" to the introspective "Leftover Girl," you too will be in awe.
