"as you haunt her in her dreams, you are Jesus so it seems but you're not, not her lover...."
The surreal psychedelic psycho-dramatic horror pastiche of the "Happy Song" Official Video by Tasche and the Psychedelic Roses as directed by Sasha Solodukhina (from a concept by Sasha and Sarah VanDerMeer) feels like a crazy garish amalgam of John Waters, Natalie Erika James and David Cronenberg. The punchy sonics energized by the band's signature blend of cabaret meets doo wop punk meets surf punk meets progressive jam rock and more as punctuated by Tasche de la Rocha unique vocals offers inside and out twists and turns. In the end, "Happy Song" from Tasche and the Psychedelic Roses eponymous album feels like a thrill ride of sorts fused from darks seeds, "a murder ballad written in honor of survivors" as the whole band chews up the scenery in the most artful ways.

Forged in the rhythm, joy, and despair of New Orleans, Tasche and the Psychedelic Roses, deploy four part vocal harmonies, grunge guitar riffs, and elements of punk, doo wop, surf, cabaret, and psychedelia, all the while swaying on a thin wire between sweetness and destruction. This unique and powerful sound is evident on their upcoming self-titled album due out 10/21/22.The self-titled album will be released on New Orleans label Sinking City Records. It was recorded at the Studio In The Country in Bogalusa and Wixmix in New Orleans, and is produced by Tasche de la Rocha and Eric Heigle. Heigle, who also engineered the album, is known for his work with Arcade Fire, Dr. John, 79rs Gang, Soul Rebels, and Lost Bayou Ramblers amongst others.
Tasche and the Psychedelic Roses self titled album is about a life of unapologetic transformation. It is about coming into your own power and learning to say goodbye to the things that damage you. It encapsulates life’s ups and downs. A hellish rollercoaster at times, and other times a beautiful dream. It is a feminist album that beleives women and opens a window to the opposite side of a man’s world. It tells the tale of a woman becoming her own person despite everything that slays her day after day. It's about following your golden path no matter how painful it is. It enters her mind and tells her story, the hard blows and rising from the ashes time and time again. It’s about keeping faith in the dark. It’s gutted feelings that we are afraid to feel. It dabbles in trauma but pokes fun at it and evolves into something much stronger than before. It’s a triumph that battles our demons in a blaze of fire.
Throughout the 10 tracks on their self-titled album, band leader and producer, Tasche de la Rocha guides the Psychedelic Roses as they build, burn, and rise again. She is equally at home with the Angels (as her three backup singers are known) coming together in close harmony as she is shredding over waves of distortion as one of three guitarists in the group.
De la Rocha began her music career as a teen busking solo on the streets of New Orleans, and quickly found recognition for her singular voice and guitar sound, even being invited to play solo house concerts for Laurie Anderson and Jennifer Coolidge. On her acclaimed solo debut album, 2016’s Gold Rose, Tasche collaborated with Joseph Faison, out of which grew the full 8-piece band Psychedelic Roses.
