Champaign-Urbana, the Iron Post - 04/07/07

Our gig at the Iron Post was hopeful as it's one of the few downtown clubs for studetns at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The place reminded us of a mid-west version of Eddie's Attic. Other bands on the bill included Casados, Lynn O’Brien and Dan Boehm. They were acoustic or on a piano, sans drums, and the crowd was quiet and very attentive for all of the other performances. Luckily, during the song Ribbons and Bows, Elevado managed to break them out of their shells and in a scene not too dissimilar from the 80's film "Footloose."

Boston, the Basement 3/31/07

On our fourth trip to Boston we were reunited with one of our most favorite artists, B.J. Snowden, who falls somewhere in between Sun Ra, Stevie Wonder and that happy lounge music a la Vince Guaraldi's Peanuts music. It was amazing to see how the audience gravitated towards her and found themselves uncontrollably doing the Snoopy Dance. As a dear friend, she will be coming to Atlanta, ASAP.

Chapel Hill, the Reservoir Bar 3/29/07

Chapel Hill was a great start, we played with Beloved Binge and Red Collar, and then had our bus painted by a local artist, Brian Buchanan
who formerly hailed from our old hometown Athens, Ga. He worked on it all night and when we woke we were a little surprised. The bus has been turning heads and ensuing laughter ever since. Thanks to the Reservoir Bar for having us!



Also, Chapel Hill has another label than Merge..... called Trekky Records and we plan to do a Christmas album with them after our summer Tour Bus Drag Race, as they too veggie diesel it up.
