Sui Zhen is a young singer / songwriter / composer who has been performing both solo and with her full live band since 2003, supporting the likes of Coco Rosie (USA), Kimya Dawson (USA), The Brunettes (NZ, SubPop), and Malcolm Middleton (of Arab Strap, USA).
Sui Zhen’s solo instrumentation relies solely on the melodies created by her voice and guitar. In band mode, Sui Zhen’s unique voice is accompanied by dreamy soundscapes with darker rockier moments juxtaposed against soft folk-pop instrumentation and harmonies.
Sui Zhen’s self-titled independent EP of sweet folktronic-pop was launched in late 2007 to glowing reviews and national airplay, and she is still very much a performer in demand. Playing gigs and writing new music for a collaboration with partner Jamie Lloyd entitled “Little Hat” is keeping her way busy, but a Sui Zhen album is still very much on the cards for 2009…
Band: Joe Gould has played in Sui Zhen for a little over a year. He currently orchestrates the sound-scapey elements to the live act with electric guitar, Mallet Kat, and various samples.
Joe is a multi instrumentalist, his main project being the lively gypsy-folk-metal inspired Crooked Fiddle Band , for which lends his hands at drums and percussion.
Preston Peachey started playing drums with the band mid 2007. Preston’s drumming expertise has developed and matured through the various rock and more recently, funk bands he has played in over the last decade. Preston’s ability to play minimally and his subtle energy enhances the driving force behind the songs. Preston also plays for Self | Is A Seed.
Claire Herbert is one of Becky’s oldest friends from kindergarten. They began singing together in primary school and developed a strong vocal synergy. In the band, Claire’s emulates the harmonies as recorded on the EP and adds other inventions of her own.
Dave Keys is the newest member to the live band, replacing former bassist and brother to Becky, Dan Freeman. Dave is an old hand at the live Sydney scene, playing for over ten bands in the last decade including Sarah Blasko, Lazy Susan and Spurs for Jesus just to name a few. In Sui Zhen, Dave re-interprets the various bass sounds on the EP with both electric and double bass to compliment the stories and songs.
Just a big thanks to all our new friends Wishing you all the best and feel free to come and leave a comment back letting us know how you are going . Peace Frank Macias LOS AMIGOS
