Agent Ribbons - On Time Travel and Romance

Teh delightful ladies of Agent Ribbons [MP3] Agent Ribbons - Birds and Bees [MP3] Agent Ribbons - Obituary I met up with a friend for an afterno0n matinée show at the Silverlake Lounge on Sunday. I had no idea who was playing; therefore no idea what to expect. I walked in to find a flurry of red hair prancing wildly on stage. It was Agent Ribbons - an unexpected duo from Sacramento's burgeoning folk scene. Needless to say I was ABSOLUTELY BLOWN AWAY. I'm a huge sucker for singers with personality. Songstress Natalie Gordon not only had the audience eating out of the palm of her hand, but had the vocal chops to take out a T-Rex across the street. Her voice boomed over the audience and she always seem to have a delightful quip or taunting inflection. She's a born performer. After the show I immediately went up to the band and picked up their CD - On Time Travel and Romance. Agent Ribbons sound is solidly held in all things retro. The duo sound like they belong in a 1940s cabaret over some of the dive bars and punk venues their playing. The songs on their debut CD are charming, witty, and so much fun. "Obituary" is a delightful ragtime inspired tune about a woman mourning her love life; while "Birds And Bees" is a tongue in cheek song about use of the word "Honey." This band is freakin' fantastic. If you need an escape today download the tunes above. Agent Ribbons are currently in the middle of a US Tour. They still need help with some tour dates.
