Elk City - LFSM, Part 2
To be honest, I didn’t know much about Elk City before I entered the Nouveau Casino last Saturday evening (Les Femmes s'en mêlent Festival). All I knew is that Elk City is a NYC-based quarter who took shape in 1997 after Renee LoBue left the Meltings Hopefuls. That’s all. Since I learned that the other members are ex-Luna guitarist Sean Eden and ex- Lovelies bassist Barbara Endes and Ray Ketchem (drummer/producer).
It was a perfect Rock’n’Roll gig, nothing new but very enjoyable. Elk City played mainly songs from there latest work, New Believers, out this month on Friendly Fire Recordings including Cherries In the Snow who is a possible hit. They finished with older songs that gave the opportunity to Sean Eden to play some impressive guitar solo à la Neil Young.
Klima opened the evening. It’s the side project from Piano Magic singer’s Angèle David-Guillou a London-based French singer-songwriter (a mix of both Gallic and Anglo-American pop, rock and electronic). More info here.

I think I change my mind on these guys every time I hear them. Sometimes great, sometimes rubbish, never in between.
Elk City were good but should have played more old songs.
Klima was better than on record but unable to put a show !
