POOSA

With the release of Poosas second c.d. comes a wave of originality to crash the finest tide pool party. Poosa are like a mimosa. Theyre going to show you a new view of the moon and youll kick your own ass if you don’t look up to see. Melissa Sonnen, the front of Poosa (Poosa is actually her nickname since childhood) is charming and childlike in voice and spirit. Rob Stealcheat (Squidballs, Touchy Feely) is her accompanying guitarist and song-writing partner. He is the land she is the sea. Together they are the shore. The two of them sing a cover of Shane and Sinead’s “Haunted by the Ghost” as though they took a fine sea worthy vessel all the way to the beach and crashed it on the jagged rocks (in a good way). From the prettiest melodic acoustic track “Brighton Beach” to the rockers “Do You Want to go to Paris”, “Another London Sunday” and “Crazy Colored Boats” Poosa is the future retro. The electric Poosa will, in fact, rock the boat. With everybody’s drummer, Jason Deming (Beangirl, the Odd, Peeling Wheelie), and the counter melodic bass of Tyler Christenson (Longfeller Family, Poppa Giorgio) - this half hour c.d. goes by like a surfer in a red bikini. Recorded and mixed under the nurturing care of Rich Mattson (Glenrustles, Ol’ Yeller), you’ll even find Rich wading with surf guitar on “Moon of Sin”.
