Биография

SUSU is a “one and only” type band. The smoldering New York City duo features firebrand female lead vocalists and songwriters Liza Colby of The Liza Colby Sound and Kia Warren of Revel In Dimes. Both are rock n’ roll provocateurs of the highest order. Currently, they seduce and spiritualize on their premiere 5 week European Tour featuring Joey Wunsch, Ronnie Bruno, and Connor McClelland of the raucous and energetic NYC trio Dry Clean Only. There is a tribal sensuality that oozes from the grooves of SUSU songs. West Indian ancestry, bold femininity, and explosive sexual energy course through a swirl of sound that spans smoldering Peter Tosh and King Tubby-inspired vamps, monster Nina Simone silky sophistication, Ted Nugent-style riffage, and Tina Turner swagger. The embers of this rock n’ roll wildfire were first stoked three years ago when the Liza Colby Sound and Revel In Dimes merged as Revel Sound for select NYC shows including a coveted residency at legendary haunt The Rose Bar at Gramercy Hotel, a jaw dropping performance at Webster Hall, and an exclusive appearance at sought after artist enclave The Surf Lodge. Lyrically, Liza and Kia explore a variety of political, personal, and emotional arcs. “We aren’t shy about being black women in rock n’ roll,” Kia says, with a hearty laugh. “People can take away what they want but there is an aliveness, an awareness, and a spirituality to these songs that are both timely and timeless.”
