What:
Oakland, CA based indie-pop-folk artist, Zoe Boekbinder released her debut full length album, Artichoke Perfume, on Sept 3, 2009.
Artichoke Perfume is a collaboration with producer and songwriter, Cesar Alvarez (Brooklyn, NY). Zoe is a speakeasy lounge singer performing at Fraggle Rock. She is “geek-glam”, music for people who wear sequins to the library. In need of a relationship manual, Zoe writes mostly of love gone awry. Her honest lyrics and crooning operatic voice lend themselves brilliantly to the quirky-pop production by Cesar. The album is haunted by a New Orleans brass band, and the unconventional percussion is as clever as Zoe’s love-sick rhymes.
In 2005, Zoe formed a band called Vermillion Lies with her sister, Kim Boekbinder. This twisted folk cabaret duo traveled the world charming audiences with their comedic songs. They headlined venues like The Great American Music Hall (SF) and Circo de Braga (Portugal) and played with bands like The Dresden Dolls and The Ditty Bops.
Being fiercely dedicated to music, Zoe began releasing her more personal material under her own name. In 2007, she released a seven song EP and toured the nation. Since then Zoe has been molding her style and is now ready to take over the world, with guitar and loop pedal in hand, one geek at a time.

Annah:
