About this project
R and R and R is our follow up to the 6 song EP we previously released through eMusic Selects. (Whom we love and are thankful for everything they have done for us!).
The record was written over the span of the past year and recorded in an intense 7 days at Machines with Magnets Studio (Battles, Lightning Bolt, Elvis Perkins in Dearland etc.) in Pawtucket, RI.
We hope to share this work with the many people who have supported us through the years in the best way we know how... Vinyl!
The recording and mixing is complete, the mastering is done, the art is 90% done and everything is ready to to be sent to the magic record maker (who is not very cheap.) We hope to press a limited run of 500 copies.
If you would like to hear some previous Susu examples, there are some tracks on our myspace page - http://www.myspace.com/susuband as well as http://lastfm.com/music/susu, and http://www.emusic.com/album/Susu-Win-MP3-Download/11173392.html
Many thanks in hopes of the future,
Susu

Send MessageBrooklyn noise-rock trio Susu are part of a noise-rock continuum with roots that stretch all the way back into pioneering '60s freaks like Captain Beefheart, the Velvet Underground, and the Godz, through the Fall in the U.K. and Sonic Youth in the U.S., and from there into '90 acts like Unwound, Helium, and Tsunami and thence into the contemporary likes of Deerhoof. Guitarist Andrea Havis and bassist Michael Gabry favor both non-standard tunings and physically aggressive performances both vocally and instrumentally, over drums that ride the fine line between free jazz and utter chaos. Susu began as a more standard post-hardcore band called Surgery Sunday, which also included drummer Justin Bilicki and two other guitarists. As Havis and Gabry took control of the band's musical direction, the band slimmed down to the trio of themselves and Bilicki and shortened their name from Surgery Sunday to the equally meaningless but more lyrical Susu. Working with producer Martin Bisi, a key figure from the New York avant-garde scene of the 1980s which is one of Susu's key musical touchstones, the trio recorded their self-titled debut in 2006. Following its release, Bilicki was replaced by Oliver Riviera Drew for the band's second set, the 2007 EP Win. Win was released both as a six-track digital download and as a limited-edition three-track vinyl EP on eMusic.com's In-house label, eMusic Selects, bypassing CD formats entirely.
