She Keeps Bees isn’t a new name to us at BeatCrave. We were lucky enough to interview the duo for our Know Your NYC Bands series back in 2009, but that doesn’t mean we can’t continue to share the wealth. As you may have noticed, She Keeps Bees is not just a she but a two-person band that consists of Jessica Larrabee and Andy LaPlant.
The duo first caught our attention when they first released “Gimme” as a single. There’s something about the smokey vocals Larrabee provides on that song when she sings the lyrics, “Work me like my back ain’t got no bone.” We’ve mentioned that before but it’s great lines like that and simple guitar chords that puts She Keeps Bees in the same category as the Black Keys. There is a whole lot of soul that makes a simple song sound much bigger than the chords written down on paper. Get to know She Keeps Bees a bit more in our BeatCrave Fav series below!

BeatCrave is proud to bring you duo, She Keeps Bees, as part of our Know Your NYC Bands series. With the help of Andy LaPlant on drums, Jessica Larrabee is the fiery force behind this righteous band that melds that renewed soul of Cat Power and the blues of The Black Keys. She Keeps Bees has this amazing talent to churn out the rawest, grittiest, get-to-the-point songs out there right now. With lyrics such as “Work me like my back ain’t got no bone,” in their addictive song, “Gimme,” this band is far beyond flashy or superfluous. Larabee’s vocals speak for themselves in sparse arrangements that immediately satiate your hunger for the “good stuff.”
If you wish you appease your craving for rock with a swagger and you happen to be in Manhattan tonight, make sure you catch their show with The Love Story, Naked Hearts, and Whitetail tonight at Cakeshop! To tide you over for a few hours, check out our exclusive interview with Lady Larrabee below!
