SIRSY

SIRSY, the fiery, sultry, soulful indie pop rock duo is a musical breath of fresh air in a world of homogenized and overly supersized corporate rock. Born to Rich Libutti, a lover of Bowie, Prince and Star Wars, who rocks the guitar, and Melanie Krahmer, who must be the love child of Eartha Kitt and Superman, SIRSY is a force much greater than most found on earth. Their well crafted, hook drenched songs are infectious and lyrically run the gamut from wildly joyful to utterly heartbreaking. The title track from their newest CD, Revolution, is not only one in a collection of great songs, but was also the opening track for the highly acclaimed ‘green film’, So Right, So Smart”, starring Darryl Hanna, Bare Naked Ladies, and Guster among others.

Able to leap tall buildings, rock a night club for up to 3 hours, and fully capable of handling zero gravity for hours at a time, Melanie Krahmer, has been described as a girl with a "stunning voice capable of a lion's roar and a floaty whisper"... a girl "with the lungs of a teenage athlete and the growl of a sixty-something blues singer". She plays a full drum kit while standing up, handles bass (played on a keyboard with her drumstick) and throws in flute solos and melodica as well. Rich Libutti plays everything else, including snare and bass (with his feet) and is the anchor to Melanie’s onstage tornado. Playing over 250 shows a year, they’ve shared stages with the likes of Maroon5, Lifehouse, Collective Soul, Third Eye Blind, Train, Blues Traveler, Cheap Trick, Vertical Horizon, Fuel, Grace Potter & the Nocturnals, Boys Like Girls, and many more..

Now signed to Funzalo Records and having re-released Revolution, remixed by knob-twisting genius, Paul Kolderie (Hole, Radiohead, Dresden Dolls, Pixies, Martin Sexton) Melanie and Rich have already started on songs for a new CD, one that will go from 0 – 60 in 3 seconds we are sure……until then, we’ll make sure that Melanie always has a working alarm clock and that Risk and Scrabble boards are always available to Rich……
