“Boundary busting discodelic soul” *FIVE STARS*- The Guardian
“The funkiest sh*t we’ve heard in a while” - KCRW

“Superb psych soul-disco debut from New York female harmony trio…. A glorious overload of joyful elation and spiritual elevation” * FOUR STARS* - MOJO
Say She She, the soulful female-led trio, stand rock solid on their discodelic duty with their boundary-breaking sophomore album Silver.
Listen to Silver HERE. Their live show injects funk and pop with a heavy dose of dance and disco beats, and is an outrageous time like no other.
This special free concert corresponds to the finale of the free outdoor season - a refreshment bar will be open on-site at the show thanks to our partner Rizzuto's Oyster Bar & Restaurant, featuring hot chocolate and hot cider. Bring valid Photo ID.
The three strong voices of Piya Malik (El Michels Affair staple feature, and former backing singer for Chicano Batman), Sabrina Mileo Cunningham and Nya Gazelle Brown front the band. Their current band plays as a seven piece and includes members of Los Angeles cult-funk band Orgone, who they have been touring with extensively. Live concert highlights for a band that just began touring include their Glastonbury Festival debut this year, at Central Park Summerstage’s 2023 opening night and the Hollywood Bowl.
Following the siren song of NYC, the trio was drawn from their respective cities — Piya from London, Nya from DC, and Sabrina from NYC — to Manhattan’s downtown dance floors, through the Lower East Side floorboards, and up to the rooftops of Harlem, where their friendship was formed on one momentous, kismet eve.
Silver was entirely written and recorded live to tape at Killion Sound studio in North Hollywood earlier this year and produced by Sergio Rios (of Orgone). While these analog recording techniques help root Say She She’s sound in a bedrock of tonal warmth that only tape can achieve, it is also their process of cutting the track in the moment and capturing the magic of communal creativity that has seen their sound described as “a glorious overload of joyful elation and spiritual elevation” (MOJO) and “infused with the wonky post-disco spirit of early '80s NYC” (The Guardian). Musical inspirations include Rotary Connection, Asha Puthli, Liquid Liquid, Grace Jones and Tom Tom Club.
Ultimately, Silver oozes with quirk and adventure and embraces the multifaceted nature of what it means to be a modern femme. Say She She fully embrace their role as beauticians, actively reminding people of the inherent beauty in the world. They skillfully employ double entendres and humor to encourage open dialogue and fearlessly address important matters that demand attention.
Say She She has collaborated with a roaring roster of musicians including members of The Dap-Kings, The Extraordinaires, Peanut Butter Wolf, The Shacks and Chicano Batman.
