DESCRIPTION: FEATURING: Shelley Nicole\, vocals & bass Jerome Jordan\,
	 guitar Ganessa James\, bass Shawn Banks\, percussion Hiroyuki Matsuur
	a\, drums Achuziam Maha\, backing vocals Kiki Hawkins\, backing vocals
	  So many artists today claim to be progressive\, but Shelley Nicole's
	 blaKbüshe are the living\, breathing embodiment. Shelley Nicole is eq
	ual parts vocalist\, songwriter and bassist making blaKbüshe it's own 
	mash-up. Imagine Nona Hendryx meets Black Sabbath or Janis Joplin meet
	s Grace Jones and there you will find the blaKbüshe experience. It is 
	a blend best described by Shelley Nicole as SolaRoc\; combining elemen
	ts of rock\, funk\, soul and beyond. Shelley Nicole hails from Newton\
	, MA\, but now called Brooklyn\, NY home. Since her arrival on the New
	 York music scene she founded Red Butterfly Music\, the label through 
	which she released her debut album\, "...she who bleeds." Her band\, b
	laKbüshe\, has performed at hot spots all over New York City\, the sou
	theast\, west coast and Europe including B.B. King Blues Club & Grill\
	, The Blue Note\, the New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC)\, Broo
	klyn Academy of Music (BAM)\, Endenu (Atlanta)\, Genghis Cohen (L.A.) 
	and the Mau Mau Bar (London). blaKbüshe has been called reminiscent of
	 the Soul/Pop recording group Labelle. Even Labelle member Sarah Dash 
	agrees saying\, "blaKbüshe is not to be overlooked. They are going pla
	ces." Opening for Erykah Badu at the Tea Party in Brooklyn and recordi
	ng with KRS-One confirms that she is on her destined path. Before putt
	ing her band together\, Shelley Nicole released "Being Me" (1998) on I
	mani/King Street Records. The song topped charts in London and receive
	d critical acclaim in New York and Europe's dance music scene. Club DJ
	s still spin "Being Me" and her latest club release "Dance (Flying Hom
	e)". Shelley's next single "Black Girls" from her forthcoming album is
	 featuring the documentary film U People as well as on the soundtrack.
	 This song is destined to be an anthem for Black women around the worl
	d. Author and Associate Professor of Black Popular Culture at Duke Uni
	versity Mark Anthony Neal says\, on "...she who bleeds" Nicole created
	 a vibrant synthesis of Rock and Jazz\, which ultimately aimed to twea
	k the staid sensibilities of both mainstream America and the gatekeepe
	rs of African-American culture and identity." Get ready to experience 
	a musical revolution. Get ready for blaKbüshe!
