About Me

The second Bedsit Poets album, Rendezvous, released by Bongo Beat Records, is OUT NOW in the USA, Canada, and the UK. Pick it up at a fine music retailer near you (if you can find one these days). For those of you in the NYC area, we recommend Other Music ; you Brits should look for us in HMV . If that doesn't work, try Amazon , or head on over to .

Here are some live performance clips from the Rendezvous album release show at New York's Cutting Room (in order, "Daze for Love," "She's a Mystery," "Je Vie Ma Vie Dans Ma Facon," and "Hardened Ground'):
And here's a video for "The Summer That Changed"--the title track of our first album:
