Here
is some video from our performance 12.01.08 at a Toys for Tots Benefit
Who the hell are we? Rosyvelt began as a duo in Olympia
Washington where Sam Jansons and Jeff Henry flushed out some rudimentary
songs in a 4th Avenue basement. Their sound was typified by a loud bombastic
acoustic guitar and solid drum beats accompanied by Jeffrey's power
tenor vocals. They have since moved to Seattle, switched to baritone
guitar and added Louis O'Callaghan(The Graze) on bassand Seth Howard(Fey
Ray, The Stone Throwers) on guitar and keys. Listen here
if you want to know what we sound like.
if you must have comparisons..
I asked one of Rosyvelt's oldest fans for some comparisons and this
is what she said: "...Here are a few comparisons that I would say for sure (and
you can pretty much add the phrase "with better vocals" to
everything): Shannon Wright, the softer moments of
New Order, Sebadoh (for the bombast), Puerto
Muerto, Okkervil River.
