This week we find ourselves audiosurfing some rockin’ tunes from some friends here in Portland, OR. From their recently released album Swim, SweetJuice plays something “Beautiful.” (music and lyrics by Kris Deelane)

SweetJuice style of Alt/Art/Rock is hard to pin down. The band’s live shows are known for powerhouse performances, infectious energy, catchy songs, and intricate vocals and harmonies. It’s like Elvis Costello meets The Indigo Girls at a Neil Young and Crazy Horse show. And with both a female and a male lead singer, each of whom contributes songwriting and arrangement skills to the group, they may be the 21st Century’s answer to Fleetwood Mac. Based in Portland Oregon, SweetJuice has toured the west coast, playing festivals and clubs, sharing the stage along the way with the legendary Brian Wilson, Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, The Zen Tricksters, Little Sue, The Paperboys, Casey Neill among others.
