The London band Sassyhiya sounds as if the NYC band Television had a female lead singer and a sense of humor (with some very early Go-Betweens riffs thrown in for good measure).
Sassyhiya (the name works both as a greeting and a personal
mission statement) is led by the both real-life and musical partners Kathy Wright
and Helen Skinner (“now with added Neil and Pablo” as their Bandcamp page puts
it). Of their latest single “Kristen Stewart” (Skep Wax) Helen, a long-time fan
of the lesbian icon/pin up, says “I wanted to do a song about her because I
think she’s ace and makes great choices when it comes to roles.”
The result is the very cool pop ode and the video not only chronicles
a near real-life encounter between Helen and the actress but also celebrates Stewart’s
bold fashion choices.
Sassyhiya’s album Take You Somewhere will be released by
Skep Wax on November 8th.
