Born on a high desert wind, Sheverb is a womxn-led, collectively run, psychedelic desert rock band based in Austin, TX. Armed with their instruments, the Ladies of Reverb are out to challenge our understanding of the romanticized old west with their peyote-fueled, surf-infused sounds. The core of this collective consists of Betty Benedeadly, Xina Ocasio, Lainey Smith, and James Mescall, who bring together the guitar twang of spaghetti westerns with the driving rhythms of krautrock. In the past two years, Sheverb crowdfunded an album, Chapter One, as well as a vinyl EP, completed two successful tours of the Southwest, and created a “smoldering sound [that] matches Texas heat in a big way” (The Austinot).
Influences: Ennio Morricone, Spindrift, Stereolab, Brian Jonestown Massacre, Velvet Underground, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Neu!, Link Ray, The Cramps, Rodriguez, Black Angels
We are so incredibly excited to present the first music video resulting from Sheverb's month-long, music writing journey in a strange little down in the Southern California desert. The resulting album, Once Upon a Time in Bombay Beach, is an instrumental, psychedelic, neo-surf, desert rock album, to be released June 1, 2020 here: https://sheverb.bandcamp.com/.
The goal of Sheverb's record making experiment was to soak in the unique energy of Bombay Beach and produce music reflective of it. At the end of this epic month together, the band performed the entire album, start to finish, for the community of Bombay Beach at The World Famous Ski Inn, the only bar/restaurant in town (and still in operation since the town's heyday of the 50s and 60s)! This music video captures one of the new songs performed that fateful night, and demonstrates some of the magic conjured up out in that remote desert location.
