The Band Practice Diaries are highlights from our weekly rehearsals. Hear exclusive, brand new material--sometimes before the rest of the band hears it! BIO: Based in Buffalo, NY, The Lady, or the Tiger? is influenced by the melodic mastery of the Beatles and the Kinks, the moody psychedelia and art noise of the Velvet Underground and the Cure, and the technological paranoia of Radiohead (and the Kinks).

The Noble Company is an act from Buffalo, NY, specializing in alternative-indie rock.

Robb Nesbitt lived an honest and unassuming life, trying marriage and attempting to raise two daughters, paying too many bills and busting his body on corporate industry. Then he retired.
Remaining humble, he read his poetry out and got published dozens of times and places, even editing a collection of Peace poems "Waging Words For Peace" with Chuck Culhane (a buddy of Pete Seeger), then without ever auditioning, his performance style (as evidenced in the 'Ice9' troop) won him roles in four plays - his lead character in Sweet Street (nominated for best ensemble cast - 2010 Artie Awards) was noted as the high point of the play by Buffalo News when he performed Leonard Cohen's 'Bird On The Wire' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5z2VFNO7Tg 
Simultaneous, were appearances in four local films: he provided the original song 'Roll,Lord' to Sweet Jesus, and performed in 'The Big Mess', 'Fake Job' and 'Beyond The Mainstream' for which he composed and played the music for its theme song 'Welcome To My World' which is found here on Soundcloud.com/slowheart-1/welcome-to-my-world-short
Robb Nesbitt's contributions to art also include photography and a few videos, such as his 1989 masterpiece 'Don't Believe' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdJIBKN-o80
Robb Nesbitt is a realist and knows the internet allows everyone to take what he has done for free. He makes a funny face about that, but is not bitter.
New eminent and imminent 2cd song cycle should appear relatively soon (provided he is not assassinated by anyone - or by himself for promotional purposes) will be called 'DREAMS UP THERE' and 'GRAVITY B-LO'. 
B-lo stands for Buffalo NY a cool, inexpensive place to live and own a home
 - everyone left, so there's not much traffic jam or elbow bashing sidewalk hustle. 
C'mon down. C'mon up. C'mon over. Fill yer cup !!!


Sara Elizabeth is an indie alternative singer/songwriter and musician based in Western New York. Sara picked up her first guitar on her ninth birthday, at which point she began 8 years of classical and jazz training, and after earning her Bachelors in music from the University at Buffalo, she turned to songwriting full time. 

Influenced by other indie and alternative artists such as Mumford and Sons, Andrew McMahon, and Death Cab For Cutie, as well as influential female singer/songwriters such as Joni Mitchell, her carefully crafted and heartfelt lyrics tell real stories of a twenty something musician. This is evident in her releases "Darling, I'm Not Yours [EP]" (2011), "On the Rise" (2012), "A Very Sara Elizabeth Christmas: the acoustic EP (2013)," "Be Well" (2014), and the recent "Twenty Something," as well as in her intriguing live performances with her rhythm section.

In addition to numerous music venues around WNY and the Northeast region, notable performances include The Town Ballroom (opener for Bedouin Soundclash), Babeville's Ninth Ward, Music is Art Festival, Artpark, Sportsmen's Tavern, The Purple Fiddle (Thomas, WV), Jedd's (Nashville, TN), and Water Street Music Hall (Rochester, NY).

Best of WNY’s Bob Silvestri has noted, “The key to being above everyone else in the singer songwriter mélange is obviously to write good songs, and this talented girl has a few.” He later calls her a "mature artist...aware of herself, her craft, and her direction in life." Or as Jeff Miers (Buffalo News) has said, "Bringing an indie-rock mentality to the modern folk-based troubadour school is Sara’s deal, and it’s working...she’s become one of the more buzzed-about artists on the local indie-pop scene."
