Influences
I really admire bohemian songwriters,soul driven music with a purpose to impose on you a bit of ambitious lust for it.
A bit avant-garde inspired,experimental drunken sing your heart out. You long for it loud. A stomp of duck taped boots sing alone, a carnival of broken instruments and calloused hands. A bit of punk rock, rock and roll,a bit of old outlaw cuntry, a bit of soul and folk a bit of taste in a bitter world.
Sounds Like
Absinthe Rose has an amazing raw yet sweet feel. Folk meets punk. The voice in this material is clear with undertones of sorrow and courage! Give these songs a listen. It is amazing stuff. -Amanda- Honey Tree Lane Los Angeles
Embedding with the sounds of traditional folk,country soul and blues but keeps a modern punk edge. Her voice is honest and robustness. she eludes sorrowful and heartfelt opinions of mind and soul .she transforms traditional folk and country with political personal passionate words. With a strong D.I.Y. ethic. Her lyrics are ones of adherence, shamelessness,suffering,solace, so tenderly with compassion yet confrontational focusing on life,politics,personal endurance, Passionate about lost and conquest in the struggles to overcome adversity with personal conviction. Celebrations in self discovery,resolve and modernize with a very strong D.I.Y. ethic. Kimbo Rose works with the strengths and weaknesses of the inner most workings of a heart. Whether it be a unconscious hand for the adornment of another.Or bold audacious awareness of a contentious matter in this significant world of pain,sorrow and liberation! Her music is driven ambitiously like carnival of spirits with a working persons calloused hands from the cold, But unmistakeable Absinthe Rose will strive to rise up together with hope of a celestial and profoundly new world. Filled with possibilities in the achievement of art threw her music with confidence.
ABSINTHE ROSE: Boston Based Acoustic/electric/folk/punk!
My name is Kimbo Rose. I sing and I write songs. I THINK WE SHOULD ALL READ MORE BOOKS AND NEVER NEVER STOP LEARNING! I'm use to playing Rock & Roll and Hardcore, but I feel this is a great opportunity to experience,express and see the stages of development. I at times get the chance to play with exceptional artist/musicians from Oregon. I operate a D.I.Y. Label called SCREECH OWL RECORDS. With help it allows Absinthe Rose to create and be under no obligations nor ridiculous submission or oppression in the writing/artistic capability. So I feel very heartfelt & honest with this type of musical sharing. I welcome criticism as well as positive feedback and suggestions. I 'em not looking for a relationship ( I have a VERY special someone) I'm here for Art, Friendship & Music!
Music is my life. That is why I feel we are still here to share and create. To perform and witness strength and confidence in art.
Animal liberation and our Earth are enough to be our very pain, Our very beauty, Our own liberation and Sorrow, to be at our best and give to this land as much as it has giving to us! So much to see and sing about! JOIN ME! in celebrating life and the struggle to live it!
P.S. I do miss so many! and think about them everyday!

I miss getting pierced by you! I miss watching you work a room, I miss watching you help out at Johnny B's behind the bar! I miss you walking through the door with your head held high throwing back the world like a scarf round your neck without a care in this lifetime or the next:) I think I miss you?

So I take it you abandoned the west coast. WHen are you playing in Socal again. It was cool meeting you in long beach. Man it was like a year ago I think and I still love hearing your music. Are you on itunes?
Hey, I never was a fan of solo aucoustic guitar music, but I have to say, yours is the best. I love it! I don't have a band right now, so this might inspire me to start doing live shows with just a guitar. I mean wow. This is some great stuff. Next time I get an i-tunes card, i'm definatly going to buy your album! Love and chicken greassoh shit, I can't see what I'm typing butlove and chicken grease
