Pense was born in San Francisco, raised in the Sunset district until she was about 10. Then her father, a machinist, got a job at Ampex and the family moved to Redwood City. A fan of little country powerhouse Brenda Lee, Pense also listened to her older brother’s R&B records. In 1958, her father brought him a tape recorder. “I remember playing Elvis Presley and Bill Haley, ‘Rock Around the Clock’ and all that stuff. I’d record my voice singing along with the records. My dad taught me how to run the thing. And that was my toy. I’d come home from school and I’d just fool around for hours with the recorder. We had a Shure microphone and the stand, the whole thing.”.

Pense watched “The Hit Parade” on TV and bought magazines that offered song lyrics, There was always music in the house, “My dad, he played everything, He made the speakers actually, so that he could jack up the sound, He’d be the one what would turn up the volume on everything,” Pense says, laughing, “I listened to a lot of Bo Diddley, Ray Charles, Frankie Lyman, Fats Domino, all those guys, You’d listen to the radio, you’d listen to KDIA and ballet pumps keychain, ballet shoe keychains, best friend keychains, ballet shoe keyring, ballet shoe key rings, custom charm ke KSOL, the R&B influence was just there.”..

In 1963, while at Sequoia High School, she joined her first band, The Dimensions. Her dad used to drive her to rehearsal, because she didn’t have a license. The group played dances at Peninsula recreation centers. Another band that featured Pense as vocalist, The Collage, built a following. Bill Graham came down to their drummer’s house to hear them. “That was, like, ’66. I’d just graduated from high school. So you can do the math,” Pense says, laughing. “Graham came over and he liked the band. He took me aside and said, ‘You know, you ought to be off on your own.’ I just took it with a grain of salt. I always liked the band.”.

Pense’s bands played venues like The Fillmore, Winterland and The Carousel, Then came the group known originally as The Invaders, then The New Invaders, The Generation and, finally, Cold Blood, “It was really something different, because we had, like, four horns, That gave it that big-band kind of R&B sound.”, With ballet pumps keychain, ballet shoe keychains, best friend keychains, ballet shoe keyring, ballet shoe key rings, custom charm ke no monitors back in those days, Pense had to raise her vocal intensity level to hear herself through the speakers, “You had to compete with everybody else in the band, volume-wise, It was hard, I was really putting my voice out there, Eventually, I got nodes on my throat, where I got hoarse a lot, So I had those scraped, Now they probably use lasers, The doctor said, ‘Whatever you do, don’t talk for a while.’ So I got that all healed up, And I said, ‘That’s it, man, If you can’t hear me, I ain’t screamin’ no more.’ And the nodes never came back.”..

There weren’t many females fronting rock bands in those days. “Everybody used to compare me and Janis Joplin. But we’re two different voices, really. I met Janis. She was pretty cool. She invited me to a party, I remember one time, but we had to leave on the road the next morning, so I said, ‘I don’t think it would be a good idea to go,'” Pense says with a laugh. Graham signed Cold Blood to his label. Pense saw flashes of the impresario’s temper, but says, “He was a sweetheart, man. Look what he did. He brought music to people, all different types of music. On the same bill, same night, you could listen to anything from big band to swing to whatever. I think that was really good for the kids to open up and hear different types of music. That’s what I miss about him.”.

From their 1969 recording debut, her band earned acclaim with spirited albums — “Cold Blood,” “Sisyphus,” “First Taste of Sin” and “Thriller.” The group broke up in the late ’70s, ballet pumps keychain, ballet shoe keychains, best friend keychains, ballet shoe keyring, ballet shoe key rings, custom charm ke Pense moved to Humboldt County, “I got bored quick,” she says, laughing, “So I was living up there and I remember one day I said, ‘Man, I gotta get the band back together.'”, She gave birth to a daughter in 1981, But Pense continued to perform with various lineups of Cold Blood through the years, At shows now, fans tell her their fond memories of the band’s glory days..

“I look back at it and think, ‘Wow, what an experience!’ Being at that time, in that place, that’s really something to think about. I knew it was going to be in the history books, somehow, somewhere, but you don’t fully realize what’s going on, when it’s happening. “You’d sit in the back, waiting to play, and with you would be maybe Albert Collins, B.B. King, Albert King, all these blues guys. And you’d just be talking to each other, man. And I’d be thinking, ‘I’m going to remember this forever.’ All those cats, man. Just to be around them, it was amazing. To live in that time and be part of it was really something.”.

Pense isn’t ballet pumps keychain, ballet shoe keychains, best friend keychains, ballet shoe keyring, ballet shoe key rings, custom charm ke resting on her laurels, however, The current Cold Blood lineup features some of the Bay Area’s top musicians — Steve Salinas, Evan Palmerston, Steve Dunne, Rich Armstrong, Rob Zuckerman and Donny Baldwin, They play Redwood City’s Club Fox on Saturday, Pense is justly proud of their new album, “Soul of the Gypsy.”, “This CD is the first record I really like,” she says, laughing, “We all contributed to the songwriting, It still has that Cold Blood sound to it, But it’s got more funk, I’m really happy with it, It took us like three years to finish it, but it was worth it..
