Indie rock that takes turns being wild and raucus, and then thoughtful and tender.
Bio / Background
"This is fearless indie rock that will rough you up, then get all tender-like to ask forgiveness."
– The Stranger (Seattle)
“Boy In The Bubble might be the cure for what ails the Bay Area music scene. ”
– Rosi Reyes, KPFA
“I’m normally a gangsta rap girl, but I’ve got a crush on this band. Their music has more depth and scope than we usually see in indie rock.”
– Rachel Swan, East Bay Express
This is rough-around-the-edges rock that's sometimes ferocious, sometimes tender, and always compelling. Think David Bowie at 3am after a hard night. BITB combines ambitious songwriting and immediately distinctive vocals with an engaging, energetic stage show.
Boy in the Bubble is the latest project of singer and songwriter Josh Seidenfeld, whose distinctive voice, flamboyant performance style, and impressive writing instincts make the band one to watch.
Based in Oakland, CA, Boy in the Bubble has steadily built buzz among Bay Area music fans since 2004.
↓ more ↓Josh also performs as a solo acoustic artist, and has played recent dates in New York, Seattle, Austin and San Francisco.
ABOUT THE NEW RECORD:
Boy in the Bubble’s forthcoming "Songs From the City on the Sun" floats through musical moods with an uncanny ease. From lush pop (“Handy”) to violent urgency (“17 Irises”) to pensive tenderness (“I Can’t Remember”), the songs cover a lot of territory. But somehow the record isn’t scattered. Songwriter and singer Josh Seidenfeld’s voice unifies the collection with a confidence and insistence on melody too often lacking in indie rock.
Seidenfeld’s vocal and songwriting confidence is hard-won. Growing up as a bookish Jewish kid in South Texas has a way of making a body know who he is and what he wants. His life since then has given him something to write about. After fleeing Texas, he collected stories and perspectives in an eyebrow-raising range of lives: building acoustic guitars for Keith Richards, Paul Simon and Joni Mitchell; park rangering in the Southwest; sweating through Columbia University; and years of work in the intense (and often heartbreaking) world of progressive politics. But try as he might, he could not escape the call of guitar, pen, paper, and sweaty rock and roll. "Songs From the City on the Sun" is the result.
“The Boy in the Bubble” sums up his approach to songwriting with a shrug: “I love stories, words, and melodies. Those things move armies. So I try to tell stories with this music, and work hard to use melodies and words that bring them to life. But also, who doesn’t love to shake their ass?”
