Description

Originally a duo featuring Barbara Solsky on vocals and guitar and Mike McCann on drums, Barbiana Complex released an EP, Year of the Dog, in 2000, which garnered critical acclaim in Europe. Eventually expanding to a five-piece band featuring Art Markenstein on keyboards, Damian DeBenedetto on bass, and Ross Snel on guitar, the Hoboken-based group recorded a single, Professor and Maryann/Suspended Animation, at iiwii Recording Studio in Weehawken. They have indie rock influences and have performed at various Big Apple venues.

We recently caught up with Solsky.
