PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS / QUOTES
 

  • “... the band make an indelible impression even at this early stage – the ‘Draw’ EP does nothing to dispel those plaudits.” - XS Noize
     

  • “Pairing sexy-soul vocals with gritty garage textures and late-night riffs...Colby is powerful and free” - The FADER
     

  • “Liza Colby is part singer and part shaman...primal energy, a raucous, no-holds-barred display of visceral energy..” - CLASH
     

  • “Music for both the saints and the sinners, with no part of the human experience off limits.” - AFROPUNK
     

  • “A glorious dirty slab of rock ’n roll...that raises the hairs on the back of your neck.” - The Punk Site
     

  • “Draw will further cement the band’s growing reputation for sultry, whiskey-soaked power chord-based rock” - Joy of Violent Movement
     

  • "The product of a sexual encounter between Aretha Franklin and Led Zeppelin. Works for us." - GQ Online
     

  • "A Rock and soul hybrid, tight beyond belief, that meshes a 60"s guitar sound with the powerhouse vocal presence and physicality of a lead singer who can channel prime-era Tina Turner and Janis Joplin while still rocking a style completely her own. A Toe-tapping, head-nodding, foot stomping, fist-pumping, ass-shaking. Good time is guaranteed."
    - This Week In New York

     

  • "She exploded on stage with the thunder of a hundred Harley's and her band is on of the cleanest and dirtiest assembly of fine fingers and ears on this dear Lower East Side." - The Passenger
     

  • "The night was further improved by making it a Colby family affair, with NYC-based The Liza Colby Sound opening up.  Liza, who happens to be Beauty Slap’s Gabriel Colby’s sister, appeared shortly after her band, sequin-laden and ready to rock.  Their set, heavy with grit, rock and soul, had the sold-out room dancing from the moment Liza hit the stage.
    Hands up, grooving and truly feeling the music, watching Liza perform is what I can only imagine it was like to watch Tina Turner on stage. Her high energy, intense presence, and muscular frame, wearing heels I can’t imagine standing still in (let alone jumping all over a stage in) in front of a sold-out crowd…and all of this was only topped by her powerful vocals.  It was my first experience with the Liza Colby Sound, and it’s an experience everyone should have!" - The Sound Scene Express
     

  • Played with Psychedelic Furs

    Wellmont Theater - Montclair, NJ 4/4/14
    ”The incredibly talented Liza Colby opened up for the Psychedelic Furs with her band, the Liza Colby Sound, and their songs were few but wholeheartedly intense. It was interesting to see how energetic the crowd became in anticipation for the main act to come on, and it is the sign of a successful opening act if this transition happens so quickly. Colby’s physical actions on stage were a spectacle, to say the least, and as she moved her body to the groove of her own fierce but melodic vocals; the atmosphere surged forward to new levels of excitement.”
    -The Montclair Dispatch
