Sounds LikeThe best description I've heard is: "You guys sound like Jack Johnson hanging out with Dave Matthews at Bob Marley's Hope Road house when Peter Gabriel popped by to jam."

   About Dave Sasscer
Hey everyone. I was raised in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico, a small town on the west coast of the island. I split most of my time between playing guitar and hanging out at the beach. Yeah, it was a pretty sweet life.

I learned to write songs by listening to the Beatles and learned to sing by mimicking Bob Marley. Or maybe it was the other way around... Eventually I moved to the States and went to college in Atlanta where I started my first "official" band.

I moved to New York City after college and played in several bands before I decided to start performing as a solo artist. I've been here off and on ever since. We've performed at numerous clubs in NYC, including CBGB's (before it sadly closed), the Knitting Factory, Symphony Space, The Bitter End and The Red Lion. We've also played the Tribeca Film Festival and several songwriter circle events.

In 2008 I released my second CD, Quiet Mind, which is now available on iTunes, Rhapsody, CD Baby and everywhere else in the Universe that good music is heard and downloaded.

I have also uploaded demo versions of some new Spanish Rock songs that I recorded recently with some of the hottest Puerto Rican rock musicians on the island. Members, ex-members and collaborators of Flor de Lourdes, Calle 13 and Nirvana (not THAT Nirvana, the original one from Puerto Rico). I hope to have the full album completed with the Mojo Conga Jam sometime in Spring 2009.

Anyway, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. Hope to see you all at our shows. Peace... Dave

Dear friends!

We are happy to see a good year go towards a good end. Again we will be playing our Christmas Show in the Moscow Megasphere - and that really makes us happy. The Moscow crowd is one of the best in the world and we would love to have you all with is. It's gonna be one hell of a rock party!

Our website has undergone major updates at the moment, but it's back and we highly recomment that you pick up your free Single and DVD "Chase the Dragon" and tell us what you think.

In the meantime Rozencrantz is back in the studio, working on brand new material.

As always, we will keep you updated.

Best regards,

Horatio

Hey Dave Sasscer
If you have a minute, please come check out the new song Alex Hirsch wrote after reading Einstein's private manuscripts and quoting his memoirs directly. The song is called, The Stormy Seas of Time and features Ken Oak on the Cellos, Bionik on the Drums and Production, and of course, Alex Hirsch on the guitars pianos and singing.
And remember, all it takes is 3 little dollars to get any of his full albums at www.keywinsproductions.com.

A fair price for up to 17 songs! Finally, good music that is priced correctly, not another record company rip off!
