She Keeps Bees 6/26/10 Littlefield Pics

This was my first time seeing the dynamic duo She Keeps Bees. The two-piece band She Keeps Bees is comprised of lead singer/guitarist Jessica Larrabee and her partner Andy LaPlant on drums headlined a benefit at Littlefield in Brooklyn to raise money for a documentary film project ‘Imaginary Mothers.’ We saw a preview of the documentary which was filmed in Costa Rica which reunites birth mothers with adopted kids. Front woman Jessica Larrabee had me blown away with her dirty guitar grooves and her strong and beautiful voice but even more that between songs she had the audience busting a gut with her funny stories about cheese burgers, cockroaches, her sweating arm pits and smelling oils. Watch the video clip below of the best of both worlds. During her set both of her bra straps fell off underneath her shirt. We caught a few tunes from openers This Frontier Needs Heroes but sadly we missed Natureboy's acoustic set.
