Two Paragraphs on the Elvis Perkins / Let's Go Sailing Show

Had a great time at the Elvis Perkins / Let's Go Sailing show last night at Waiting Room. Elvis was quite good, as I expected, but so was opener Let's Go Sailing. LGS's music is slow, quiet pop with soft, dreamy female vocals. Nice stuff. I'm just now starting to listen to the CD. I talked for a while with LGS's singer Shana Levy, and she was a really nice person. Turns out, two of her band's songs were featured on the show Grey's Anatomy. I have never seen the show, but based on how many women in my office talk about it every week, I know it is a big deal. (Check out the band's MySpace page to hear some of their stuff)

The crowd was a little light, but since Neko Case played the night before in Lincoln, I think much of the normal Elvis Perkins audience wasn't willing to go out two nights in a row. What pussies. I was hungover from the night before, and I still made it out -- and drank again! No one can call me an old light weight!

Elvis Perkins TONIGHT at Waiting Room

For those not too tired after last night's Neko Case show, you should head over to Waiting Room to see Elvis Perkins. I think this show will be something special.

If you don't know this Elvis, check out this profile from NPR, or this review from Rolling Stone which features song samples.

Opening the show is an LA pop band called Let's Go Sailing. I don't know much about them, so I am going in with virgin ears.

Here is the video from Elvis Perkins for "All The Night Without Love" from his album Ash Wednesday. This version of the song is a little different than the one on the album.
