black & bleu crew

“Electronic rock with a spanking good beat!”

This page is dedicated to our awesome, hard-working Crew members and Street Team - we can’t do this on our own! When we say ‘roadie” it’s with utmost respect and the greatest affection!

Black and Bleu Crew core members

Ron Pyrat joined Cuir Bleu in June of this year. A 30-year veteran of varying sound boards and a musician in his own right, Pyrat has worked with the California Music Awards and received his own BAMMIE for over 20 years of service. With his knowledge, technical ability and artistic eye, he’s become an invaluable part of the team!

New to the Crew!

Josh Drvsh has been with us since Cuir Bleu first began performing in 2001. He has been roadie, pa, sound tech and all-around indispensable. Josh is another crew member and friend we can’t do without! This is a rare shot of josh at the 2004 sf pride gig - taking video of the band while on kanga boots!

Team Cuir...

Jewel started with the band in 2005 for the record release party at Club Shadowplay and has been helping out ever since with CD Sales, set up and whatever needs to get done.

Chris-the-Roadie has been with us since the 2003 Folsom Street Fair. Chris likes to say he isn’t too bright but he can lift heavy things. We tend to disagree with the first - and to gratefully acknowledge the second!

Sara Zephyr helps the street team when she can, selling CDs, running the front door for shows and helping out around the office.

Duane Stevens is the band’s main photographer, covering us at clubs and festivals, as well as other location shoots. His photos are on the cover and insert of the new Sex Toy CD!

Rodney has joined us for a few shows as a photographer, taking images of the band, dancers and crew.

Tony B has become one of Cuir Bleu’s videographers, showing up at gigs and helping us to document the performances.

Jsin Diablo has shot video footage of Cuir Bleu as well as many other Bay Area bands. He also interviewed CB for his online show, Late Nite Sinners.

Stefanos and Chey are new on the scene and have been spreading the good word - and our Slip Away CDs - around!

Barto came to Cuir Bleu as a roadie for our first festival performance in 2003. He was also a member of the street team for Kalib’s earlier band, Audio Terrorist.

Want to join the street team? We’re always looking for new talents, from Crew members to engineers - to let us know how you’d like to participate, email Pixie!
