Where have we been? Its been a week and no updates! I apologize with all my heart. The weekend was longer than expected and my new Wii has been sucking up most of my free time. My new years resolution in ‘08 will be to make sure something like this will never happen again. You’ll be happy to know that even though we haven’t been updating the site, the camera has still been rolling. Today, I have the MP3’s of the Elvis Perkins show last Thursday, and in the next little while expect some Bon Iver and Stars action with some Los Campesinos! thrown in for good measure. Now that the apology is out of the way on with the show.

Elvis Perkins In Dearland surprised me with all the new material last week at Le Studio Juste Pour Rire. I was expecting mainly 80% Ash Wednesday with a booming rendition of “Doomsday” to close the show. However we got a lot of new material that I enjoyed more then most tracks off Ash Wednesday. “Weeping Pilgrim”, a J.P. Reece cover, was excellent and far superior to the version by Natalie Merchant. “Shampoo”, which is an old song that didn’t make it onto Ash Wednesday, was phenomenal and I pray it will be on the new album next year.  The one common theme across the new material is drum. I expect the new Elvis Perkins to be drum heavy, but I don’t think that will be a bad thing. More video from this show will be up over time. The clowns at Dailymotion are giving me a hard time. Enjoy, and happy Friday!
