Spectacular new vocal group Say She She have been taking North America and Europe by storm in their short two-year history, and they are back at it with a West Coast run during the first half of February and then 18 European dates in March. Their recent album Silver, the follow-up to debut release Prism, has made an enormous splash on both continents.

Our first opportunity to witness the power of Say She She came in December at the North Beach Music Festival. We wrote:
Few in attendance knew about Say She She before they hit the bandshell stage; we guarantee everybody knows who they are now. The three outstanding vocalists and incredibly tight band rocked a set largely drawn from the band’s new album Silver, stunning both musically and visually. They are Piya Malik, Sabrina Mileo Cunningham, and Nya Gazelle Brown. Everything about them was perfection: their singing, their dance moves, and their stunning outfits. At once they remind of Chic, Swing Out Sister, Jungle, and others.

The four-man band clapped as the ladies took the stage, and they opened “C’est Is Bon.” Throughout the set we were treated to tracks from Silver, including “Reeling,” “Astral Plane,” and “Questions.” How do you manage a costume change mid-set? Have the fellas play an instrumental. But not just any instrumental! No! The quartet, all from Orgōne, blew up a stunning version of “Melting Pot” by Booker T & the MGs! Kudos, Dale Jennings, Sergio Rios, Dan Hastie, and Sam Halterman!
