New Old Friends
Just wanted to put out the word that jeff_elbel has joined us on LJ!
For those who don't know him by name, he's a long-time musical friend in Chicagoland with whom i've done some really fun work, and who now plays electric upright (an NS Design similar to mcniadh's) with Tom Sharpe in addition to working his own project, Ping, and producing many other artists.
On the North front, Jeff not only performed the kick-off set and sat in with us on nearly a dozen tunes (in a smashing suit (far left), i might add) at our CD Release last week, but also did all the Chicago-side recording for the new album, getting Tom's percussion tracks on "The Clock Moved" and his own uberpop-insanity backing vocals on I Miss Crashing.
Jeff has extended a very cool offer to our friends out here in Michigan: send him an address and he'll send you some music. If interested, drop him a line, or just leave a comment and i'll hook you up.
