Elena Skye The Demolition String Band THE BLOOD GUTS TOUR '99 sat 3/20 Crooked Pass Ale House College Station, TX Because I used to book music here, I should say that I am surprised that anyone as good as Elena Skye and the Demolition String Band is playing here. I hope it represents a change of opinion in the mind of the owner, he canceled Walter Salas-Humara after I booked him and had me say no to both Richard Buckner and Trish Murphy, who called us. I should also mention for those Texans trying to find the place, that it is Crooked *Path* Ale House Chad ** Chad Cosper Dept. of English Univ. of North Carolina at Greensboro 336-275-8576 http://www.uncg.edu/~cscosper

Elena Skye P.S. Met a few P2-ers on the road, and then again last night at The Rodeo Bar. Great fun. Well, I was one of them and I hope Elena didn't catch my cold. I liked Elena and her band's music a lot and am looking forward to them playing at the Star Bar in March. Atlantans should plan to come out for that. Dina

Hey Dina, there you are...no, I didn't catch your cold and again, thanks for hanging at our show at Dotties, especially considering the cold! See you at The Star Bar! Elena

If you're in the Atlanta, GA or Chapel Hill, NC areas - check out Elena and her band when they come to town this week. We just had them as guests at the Americana Showcase in Charlotte and they sure deserve a listen! A great honky-tonk 4-piece - John Abbey smokes on the upright bass and Phil Cimino drums with only a snare high-hat, he's a heavy hitter with such a musical touch that you'd think he was getting all those sounds out of a huge kit. Then there's Boo Reiners' guitar work- Bill Kirchin would be proud of the way he makes that tele twand - and Elena's voice - it's powerful and full. She's a pretty hard-driving guitar player herself! If you like the DeRailers sound, you'll like 'em - not as polished tight (yet) but they had people up and dancing for the full hour set. Or if you liked their new CD, One Dog Town, I think you'll like the live show even better. By the way - don't miss the quote on the back side of their band T-shirts - it's way funny! Check the week's listings - I think they said Dottie's in Atlanta (Wed??) and Local 506 in Chapel Hill.
