To do: He's My Brother, She's My Sister

Rob and Rachel Kolar are siblings who may be from another planet. So, it's oddly sensible they are two-sixths of He's My Brother, She's My Sister a band that might best be described as "ecclectic." They have a cello player and tap dancer/percussionist. The band kicks off a West Coast tour on Thursday at Fulton 55 with Allah-Las and Fierce Creatures and you should be there.
The brother (Rob) and sister (Rachel) answer a five quick questions in advance of the show.
Is the name as self explanatory as it sounds?
Robert: To some degree. Rach is my sister therefore I am her brother.
Rachel: The name is both factual and theoretical. Rob and I are brother and
sister, but we've also just met.
I'm diggin' the aesthetic you guys have going on. I also love the idea of
Glam-a-billy, Circus Rock, Vaudeville Pop and Cabaret Blues. Can you tell us
what you doing music-wise?
Robert: We are basically doing what comes natural with our sounds. I think we
inadvertedly put all the music we love in a blender and this is the result.
We are fans of glam rock to rock-a-billy to folk, blues, pop, and
psychedelia so we bring our favorite elements and create a mosaic of musical
genres.
Rachel: We create songs to sing along to. Many of our choruses are intended to be
heard through your own voice.
Where is this craziness coming from? Outer space? Interdimensional wave
lengths?
Robert: One of those or something else entirely.
Rachel: I'm not sure how you define craziness, but it does seem that many people
view anyone who runs away with their emotions as a little off their rocker. We do that on occasion.
Is this your first time to Fresno?
Robert: My other band Lemon Sun has played Fresno before. We have played Visalia
which isn't too far.
Rachel: I think it's my first time in Fresno but definitely not my last. Not my last.
Anything else people should know?
Robert: We all descended from a race of extra terrestrials.
Rachel: I came from a predominately purple planet where the natives lived through
their hearts but studied the mind.
