Biographie

Pop-sensibilities choked on Norse Black Metal roots, mixed with a love for 40s blues and old school punk make for the tantalizing mix that is Sassy Kraimspri's sound. Born on the raging South Coast of Norway and raised in the punk rock world of underground New York City, Sassy then spent six years slaving away at University and living it up in Sydney's rock and roll centre- already an international musician before her first full-length release. A gig veteran at 21, she has countless gems of live moments under her belt, most shiny and most recently: CBGB's (New York, USA '06), North By North East (Toronto, Canada '06) and the Quart Festival (Norway '07- notably sharing a bill with The Who, fellow Norwegian rock gods Turbonegro, the Beastie Boys and Juliette and the Licks) and a highly acclaimed performance as the opening band for Melissa Auf der Maur's (former bassist in Hole and the Smashing Pumpkins) only Norwegian gig at John Dee here in Oslo in November '08. She is known and remembered for her sexy and energetic live show and her band's tight, hard-hitting backing. She recorded her first tracks which became a pink 7" EP in 2000 under the tutelage of indie Norwegian record label Mother Ocean Records, who later helped her forge the producer relationship with former A-Ha and 21 Guns bassist-come-producer Leif Johansen. She released her debut album, "Dirty White Lies" in February 2008, and is in gearing up for an early 2009 release in China. Songs "Toy Boy", "Noose" and "All For Me" have already been heard on radio stations across the world (NRK P2- Wasabi, RadioRakel and p3-UrÃ¸rt in Norway, GaelicRadio.com in Ireland, FBi in Sydney and radioRnR.com as well as various College stations in the US). Sassy and the band are now focusing on new songs and preparing to record the second album, as well as planning a tour of China in support of "Dirty White Lies" in October 2009. Ladies and Gentlemen, we aint seen nothin yet.

The Thugs:

Tricky Dicky Downfall: (Live Lead Guitar) recruited to Norway from Sydney for his shredding and tapping abilities while in legendary thrash punk band Smash n' Grab. He enjoys sewing and picking fights on the weekend. His favourite sayings include: "I'm gonna stab you in the neck with a screwdriver", and "I'll smash your fu@#ing c#$nt in ". What a charmer.

Freddy: brooding, fire breathing skins-beater and iron-welder of the far North of Norway. True Viking material, most likely to get naked and beat you if you mess with him on the wrong night.

STYLE: Thrash Blues Punk Rock

Audience/Format: Sassy's style is soulful, heavy and throbbing rock and roll- inspired by early blues and driven by punk rock ethos. Her ballads could be played to anyone's grandmother (there's even a glockenspiel!) but mostly the music is more aggressive.

Production Credits:

Norwegian rock and roller-come-producer Leif Johansen was hired to take the reins of the Sassy machine and help harness the power and intensity of the songs that make up Dirty White Lies.

Daniel Collett and Willy Bergsnov of Norwegian indie record label, Mother Ocean Records helped with pre-production, as well as with mixing and mastering of the final product.
