    Jessie Torrisi played drums in a dozen New York rock bands before finding her calling as a frontwoman. Enter the Please, Please Me. Armed with a cadre of feel-good heartbreak songs that blend speakeasy pop, Dylan'esque poems, street beats and rock mayhem, they bring the circus to life. On stage, Jessie sings from behind the drums like a female Levon Helm, duels with her trombonist and pulls the audience onstage to kazoo. The band swivels hips and switches instruments like it's going out of style. Their album Brûler Brûler ("burn burn" in French) has been hailed as "swagger [and] sexiness", "an attention-grabber", "pure desire", "a wrecking crew". It's a mad dash for passion through the streets of Brazil, Brooklyn, Austin and New Orleans--all places Jessie's lived in the last decade.
