Says She's Ms. Blat is a musical duo formed in the summer of 2008 by classically trained pianist, vocalist and songwriter, Lottie Leymarie. The two began recording what would become their first album in 2009 entitled “Says She’s Ms. Blat” in Bushwick, Brooklyn. Brett Puchir who is a guitarist and producer by trade lent his talent to Leymarie by joining the band not only as her producer, but also as the bands drummer. His unique style to enmesh perfectly with Leymarie's off beat piano approach was compatible to the personalities and their unabashed regard to music. The two are known for their incredibly high-energy live shows and the ability to captivate an audience with their multi layered sound and stage antics. "One might think there is a full band playing, but there are only two of us, that's how we like it. On their latest release, which is a digital 45, the two collaborated as musicians, lyricists and producers. "We are louder, harder and more energetic than ever before"


The meaning behind the name Says She's Ms. Blat stems from an old New York Times article on the Internet and the headline was " She Says She's Mrs. Platt". The article was about a woman in 1915 who had continuously married wealthy men, divorced them, took their money, changed her name and moved on to the next victim. She was a con artist who was quite progressive for a woman in the early twentieth century. “I liked the idea of her ever changing persona. As an artist, you are constantly changing and coming up with new ideas. Ms. Blat is the persona I took on as a musician. Although I write from personal experience, my world is constantly forming and reshaping around me, I'll never be the same person I was when I wrote a particular song or album. I'll be whatever I want to be and right now, I say that I'm Ms. Blat.”
