Cuir Bleu will not be playing folsom this year.

10.01.08

Thank you to everyone who helped us welcome Dr. Presson at the Citadel! It’s always a blast being a part of the Folsom Street Fair, and this year was certainly no exception! As suspected, Dr. Presson’s percussive machines fit in quite nicely with the band’s sound - even with the very limited time we had for rehearsal!

We will be taking hiatus for the next few months, both to work on individual projects, and to learn and tighten some new songs. We’ll see you in 2009, with a new feel and a new show, under the very capable direction of our composer, synthesist and now band leader, Kalib! Stay tuned and we’ll see you in the new year! ~ Miss Pixie

9.22.08

Happy Fall! And happy Leather Pride Week, too!

Cuir Bleu's Folsom Street Fair performance this year will be on Saturday night, September 27th, at the SF Citadel for, "This Shit will F*ck You Up - The Official Folsom Street Fair Party". Don't look at me - I didn't name it... but we've played it before and it's a huge amount of fun!

Come and join us if you can! This will be Lee Presson's debut performance with Cuir Bleu, and I can tell you from the rehearsals... it's sounding great! We'll be going on EARLY on Saturday night - 8:00pm! So be sure to get there in plenty of time. Doors open at 7:00. The $30 cover includes seeing the band, joining the party and taking advantage of the Citadel’s fabulous dungeon space, if you are so inclined.

8.07.08

Kink-e-Zine Broke the News... Lee Presson has gone Bleu!

Welcome to the band, please, our newest member... Dr. Presson! If you’ve ever seen him on stage, you know what a dynamic performer he is. Lee will be joining us on “machines”... synths and electronic percussion devices... and back-up vocals, as takes his fancy. Kink-e-Zine has published their August Edition this morning, with an interview of the band - the Whole band!

You can also check out Dr. Presson’s Bio page.

He debuted with the band at last night’s Queer Playground party at the Citadel - help us welcome him in!

06.13.08

10.01.05

The CD Release party was loads of fun - photos to be posted shortly! Shadowplay is a great little club - DJ Donimo spins music I like dancing to, so he’ll get my vote every time! Tim and Dan are good folks and easy to work with and as I suspected, The Stud proved a good venue for us. The stage was a bit small - it was cramped with only Kalib and Mark - but the profusion of go-go blocks made up for it in my mind. And congratulations to our raffle winners! CDs and Paddles were won and enjoyed!

The only glitch in the evening’s festivities came later, when Mark’s gear was stolen from his car. It’s a big glitch - personally, I think artist and musician materials should be held sacred by the community - obviously there are those who think (and act) otherwise. Avalon Rising will be having a benefit show on Saturday, October 15th to help Mark recoup the cost of replacing his gear. Details to be had on the Avalon Rising site - check it out if you can!

09.29.05

Come join us at Club Shadowplay on October 7th for Cuir Bleu’s first ever CD Release party!

Special Guest Performance by Cuir Bleu at midnight! It’s all at the Stud at 9th & Harrison in San Francisco’s SoMA district. Hope to see you there! Wear your Cuir Bleu shirt for FREE ENTRY until 11:30pm!

09.26.05

folsom street fair was a blast! It was estimated that nearly 350,000 people attended this year’s leather fest! The view up Folsom Street from the 7th Street Stage was pretty amazing. It was great seeing alot of our fans there, and we made some new friends. Mark Ungar joined us on bass and guitar and really brought out the “rock” in electronic rock! Thank you’s go out to our fabulous Black and Bleu Crew, to the volunteers who helped us put it all together, and to Sparky and Putanesca at the 7th Street Stage.
