Introducing Sarah Borges & the Broken Singles to the UK
Who has influenced you?
Sarah: Kristin Hersh, from Throwing Muses, was a favourite of mine when I first started playing music. Bonnie Raitt as well. The punk band X had a huge impact on me, as well as a lot of 90s indie rock.
Who are you listening to at the moment?
Sarah: Evan Dando's Baby I'm Bored. He just played here in Massachusetts, and we covered his song Ride With Me on our last album, The Stars Are Out. He was great live as always. I'm also always listening to Neil Young's Decade. It's my get-up-and-get-the-day-started record.
Where do you get your inspiration from?
Sarah: I try to think of what first excited me about music – a new way of songwriting, or a particular turn of phrase, and try to write something that gives me that feeling all over again.

Sarah Borges & the Broken Singles Interview: SXSW 2010
Who would you cite as musical influences?
Well, that's four different answers depending on whom you ask. Certainly there is a love of American music as well as Indie and Classic Rock. Our influences are pretty much the sum total of what we listen to, and while disparate, it feels very cohesive being played by us.
You are very outspoken about liking all things Punk. Is it the counterculture or the music that appeals the most?
I think that it is the do it yourself ethic. For example, we have a live CD and DVD coming this spring, and we are doing it all ourselves. We wanted to release something new to meet the demands of our fans. We financed the CD via the Boston shows we put on, and then the DVD is funded completely from fan donations.

The Stars are Out -- Named One of the Best of 2009
Boston Music Spotlight
Sarah Borges & the Broken Singles – The Stars Are Out: One of the city’s brightest stars returns with more of a pop-rock edge. Borges' sweet vocals remain and her band’s polished sound are the perfect compliment. The album does contain a handful of covers, including Magnetic Fields' "No One Will Ever Love You" and The Lemonheads' "Ride With Me", but her new takes are very refreshing.

SBBS January 2010 Tour Newsletter
As our loyal fan Jeff from NH says, SB & the BS are a band filled with "Rock and roll, beer and love." We can’t think of a more succinct way to put it and we’re coming out on the road to spread these important necessities of life...
Come out to a show, bring friends, celebrate winter, celebrate rock n’ roll and celebrate life! See the tour dates below.
Also, we are in the midst of creating our new LIVE CD that was recorded at the Lizard Lounge in Cambridge, MA on Jan 1 and 2 of 2010. We will also be filming a LIVE DVD at The Livery in Benton Harbor, MI on January 17, 2010. If you’re in the neighborhood, come on out and join us for the filming and the party!
Since both of these projects will be self-funded by the band, if you’d like to pre-order the CD and/or DVD, you can do that at the merch booth at any of our shows. And most importantly, if you’d like to support us by contributing to the production costs of these fine musical treats, well, you can do that right here:
