The Privies are a new Rock band out of San Francisco, California. Self described as the bastard child of Elvis, Jim Morrison and Angus Young raised by Slash and Johnny Rotten. Their songs thrive on dark lyrics sung over poppy melancholy melodies.
The band has performed all over the San Francisco Bay Area at venues such as The Great American Music Hall, 12 Galaxies, Hotel Utah, Blakes on Telegraph and the Rockit Room just to name a few.
The Privies combine elements of rock, pop and punk, reinventing rock music with the moodiness one feels when listening to Coldplay mixed in with the raw energy that only Jet can deliver. The diverse collection of songs found on the Privies debut CD, “you have the right!” is filled with killer guitar driven riffs that take you back to the 70s before returning you to the new millennium.
The entire CD is a radio-friendly roller coaster ride consisting of 11 hook laden tracks that all tell a story crossing multiple genres and bridging decades of generations! It’s no wonder that people of all ages and all different backgrounds are getting into the innovative sound of the Privies.
The Privies full length debut album is now available through our website (www.theprivies.com) and Myspace (www.myspace.com/privies) as well as for digital download on iTunes world wide, Amazon MP3, Rhapsody, Napster and Groupie Tunes for those folks who want Ring Tones!
