Saint Pé was featured as Artist of the Day at the newly revamped (and more music-focused) Myspace.
About his new band’s no-frills rock & roll sound, Saint Pé told Myspace, “We are not trying to reinvent the wheel. We are just trying to put shiny new rims on it.”
The band currently has a new single “Street Lights” out via Soundcloud, and they working on their anticipated debut release, coming in 2016.
In the meantime, Saint Pé is closing out 2015 with a trio of Southeast dates in North Carolina, Atlanta (Dec. 11) and Alabama.
