A Boy Named Sue

MyGen Profile GeneratorA Boy Named Sue is basically a solo-project formed in 2002 by Stig Sandbakk, a former rock-singer whom as a teenager played in a group with 70s progressive rock influences. The project soon emerged into a band-concept, as some very talented musicians couldn´t keep their hands off Sandbakks compositions, which with mostly acoustic instrumentation mixed with electronic sounds describe the darkness of daily life and the weird ways of the human mind.An abundance of musical cultures has inspired A Boy Named Sue, although the name suggests a leaning towards country music, a variety of musical directions inspires the compositions, and you may find elements of british folk, traditional norwegian music, 70s rock, electronic music as well as american folk and americana.In collaboration with his band, A Boy Named Sue released a self-produced EP in August 2004, containing 6 beautiful songs which were very well recieved by the critics and the public. Melody and song craft are the primary colors, performed with a stunning voice, amidst tasteful acoustic instrumentation and atmospheric electronics. Last September a limited edition vinyl-release called " 7"From My Head" was available at sueTunes Records. The 4 songs are now also available at digital distribution-channels such as iTunes, Musicmatch, MusicNet, Rhapsody and similar.A Full-length album containing 12 tracks recorded in Grieghallen Studio is expected to be released during 2007.Songs from the album will be available at myspace and www.aboynamedsue.com shortly.....
