Mauve Pocket’s Fast Rise

From a note to the Whisky in just five months, Santa Barbara’s newest band is turning heads.

Mauve Pocket’s Fast Rise

Five months after meeting for the first time, Mauve Pocket went from casual backyard jam sessions to landing a coveted gig at L.A.’s legendary Whisky a Go Go — a meteoric rise for a band without a name or a drummer when they booked their first gig.

Blending hard rock, soul, R&B, and grunge, the four-piece has quickly become one of Santa Barbara’s most buzzed-about bands. Lead vocalist Jenna Krebbs says that “serendipity” is probably the only word for it.

It all started with a note slipped under a neighbor’s door in March of this year.
