My New Album is Out Now!!!!

It's Finally Here!!!

My new CD, Sacha Sacket and the LadyKillers: Live at the Zone, is on sale now at SachaSacket.com !



Available on itunes soon, so stay tuned...

You have to buy it - just for your very own jet black Sacha condom...

We have some nifty interviews and reviews out and about (cool quotes below), so if you are interested in more details on why I played a certain place called the Zone, check some of these out (1, 2, 3, 4). More will be floating around soon. MTV's Logo has also been featuring the music video, "Judy (for shame)" for the last few weeks in conjunction with the live CD release and I know a lot of you have seen it too. All very exciting stuff! Woohoo!

Also, so you are aware - a portion of profits on every CD will benefit ANSA, a very lovely organization. See below for details. If you are looking to do them some extra holiday kindness, visit their site and donate! We all will love you for it and you'll be helping out some kids that really need it.

And for those of you who have been wondering... There will be new live shows in early 2009! Will keep you in the loop.Very excited to reveal what these busy hands have been up to (naughtiness aside ;)
Wishing you all kind and gentle holiday and new year!

XO
Sacha



Details on Sacha Sacket and the LadyKillers: Live at the Zone

"These songs are the result of an artist with a lot to say and an engaging way of saying it. Live at the Zone will stick with you long after you’ve taken the disc out of your CD player." - Edge

"Sacket makes music that's gorgeously grandiose... The songs on Live at the Zone are drawn from Sacket's previous self-released artist albums, but they take on a harder edge here. And this is a perfect introduction to Sacket, if you haven't encountered him and his rich baritone before. Sacket recorded Live at the Zone with his all-female band the LadyKillers. They offer as much heat and tension as anyone else at the Zone on any night." (4 Stars) - MetroWeekly

Sacha Sacket recently brought his all-girl band to a Los Angeles sex club to record his new live record “Sacha Sacket and the LadyKillers: Live at the Zone.” The full-length album marks the culmination of a year touring together and showcases a gritty reinvention of his previously introspective work. “For me, the location of a live record is paramount to the energy you aim to capture. There was this immediate intimacy going on with the live show and a strong amount of sexual tension with the audiences. It made sense to capture that in a venue with few to zero boundaries.”

There is more to this than just a focus on the inherent sexuality of Sacket’s lyrics and performances. Because the HIV/AIDS epidemic started in places like The Zone (note: the club permits safe practice only and offers free testing), he decided to go full circle. A portion of profits from every CD are earmarked for ANSA’s “It Takes A Village” program that specifically targets children in South Africa affected and orphaned by HIV/AIDS and, with a bit of tongue and cheek, will be packaged with it’s very own Sacha Sacket condom.

Birthday with benefits....

My birthday bash/Sweet Release benefit show was a few days ago and thought I would share the shenanigans. The night was amazing.

We ended up raising over $10,000 in one night!!!!


Mind blowing to say the least... So many kids are going to be fed, clothed, educated, cared for... I felt so damn lucky to be part of something like that. I was also so honored to listen to and showcase some amazing music. It was just a magical night and the best BEST birthday.

Big thanks to Roma Maffia from Nip/Tuck for hosting the night. She was absolutely spectacular. So wonderfully funny, kind, and gracious...
Also thanks to ANSA's own Sharon Gelman, Lindsay Crook, Blaire Molitor, Jurnee Smollett, as well as all of the volunteers that made the night run smoothly and kept everything together!


Katrina Parker (above) delivered such an amazing set, and looked quite stunning I might add. Love love love her voice and her songs are so powerful. I honestly could listen to her for hours.


Was really blown away by Jussie Smollett. Such an amazing voice and so much fun to watch. All of them really put on such an energetic show. So beautifully talented and he's a really really great guy. Was very impressed.


An Christopher Dallman began the night with a really intense and inspiring set of songs. We played together ages ago and it was fun to do it again, years later. He related a story I completely forgot about - where we had no mic stand at this coffeehouse gig we did about 4 years ago. We had to tape the mic to a chair of all things. Craziness.

My set was a ton of fun. Always wanted to do a show with a cello and a harp... I played completely new material as well - except for a "harped" up version of Brandon Boyd. It all felt really fresh and exciting to be unveiling new work. Making big tweaks with the live act right now before the upcoming tours - really excited to see what comes out of it and to share it with you all :)


My bday cake!!!! Really tasty btw. Chocolate raspberry. I still never found out who got the slice with my crotch on it...

And here are some various pics I got from the night. Thanks for all of you that made the night so special! It really was so packed and we raised so much money. Yipeeeeee!!!!


Sean! I love you for making it all the way from Philadelphia!!!


And these lovely beautiful kids (Mike, Jason, and Shaunna) drove up from SD (As well as Yazdi and friends - thanks guys!!!) Also, Alex who made it from Mexico! And those of you from the east coast as well! VERY COOL.


The silent auction... which did awesomely well! Thanks for all of you that bought art, etc!


Jordy, Jenn, and David!!!!!!


Philip and Craig!


Marcus and Ilse!!!

Getting my drink on after the show of course...

Rudy, Damon, and Kira!
Dez and Mark!
Rita, Damon, Guy, Amar, and Abby

THANKS AGAIN EVERYONE!!!! Will post some video soon!!!!
