P.S. Eliot (Official Thread)

[Wobbie]

I'm sure one of you punk thread regulars had created a P.S. Eliot thread... Oh well, here it is!!

Anyways, i just wanted to post that they have a new EP called 'Living In Squalor' out, plus a donation based digital download of a song that was recorded during the Introverted Romance In Our Troubled Minds sessions called Bruno Is Orange. I think it's a cover.

New EP can be downloaded here http://humpypuzzlepieces.blogspot.com/2010/04/ps-eliot-living-in-squalor.html I'm pretty sure the band have given permission for the blog to have it up for free download. 7" version can be ordered from Freedom School Records (who put out The Ergs!' The Ben Kweller EP, plus a couple of Cheeky records, including the one that Quote Unquote has up) for $5 + $2 shipping here http://www.myspace.com/freedomschoolrecords

Digital download info for that other song is here http://pseliot.blogspot.com/2010/02/bruno-is-orange-digital-download.html

Anyways, i know that there are a few P.S. Eliot fans here :-d If you haven't heard them, give them a listen. Their album from last year landed on a few end of year lists, including some punknews.org staff lists. It's rad! RIYL Lemuria, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Rainer Maria, girl fronted fuzz indie-rock/poppy-punk whatever.

So excited to listen to this.

[AP_Punk]

i love this band lots.

[AP_Punk]

alright, that new ep kicks ass. :music:

[Wobbie]

Katie is such a little cutie :inlove: :-d

[AP_Punk]

i like her blog (http://www.libranhusband.blogspot.com/) too. the "mix tapes" rock!

new album, Sadie, coming out this fall on Salinas!

woot!

[shit stroll]

w00t!

[Wobbie]

Awesome!!!! Can't wait :-d I love this band so much.

Remind me what month Fall (Autumn :-p ) is up there? Yeah, i could look it up, but i also couldn't, which suits me better :-d

[element4433]

new album, Sadie, coming out this fall on Salinas!

woot!Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[AP_Punk]

this bloke is stoked too!

been re-listening to their stuff lately - makes me crave more!

[blebbio]

this band was posted on tons of blogs last year. i was surprised it never really caught on. i like them.

[Wobbie]

They've still made a dent in the punk rock community (doing a Pink Couch Session, and the fact that some staff at punknews.org had the album on end of year lists helped that though), and yeah, i remember seeing them on a lot of indie rock blogs too, but the indie rock loving public never really caught on as much as the punk rock kids, i don't think.

It was the same with Katie's old band The Ackleys though. They had a couple of really great releases that should have been huge, but never really made it big. Probably released them 10 years too late, haha. They would have been more popular in the mid 90's for sure.

I think this next album will turn some heads though. Hopefully.

[AP_Punk]

fingers crossed! band needs more love 'round here.

[shit stroll]

if i had to pick one ep to listen to for the rest of my life, it'd probably be living in squalor.

[AP_Punk]

ditto!

[shit stroll]

i love acid flashbacks so fucking much.

[Wobbie]

if i had to pick one ep to listen to for the rest of my life, it'd probably be living in squalor.

Shit yes. Such a great EP. Cry Uncle is my jam at the moment <3<3<3.

I came in here to post that Katie has put up a solo cover on her blog.
http://libranhusband.blogspot.com/2010/09/first-order-of-unproductive-business.html

And has posted that they will be on an upcoming Paper & Plastick Women in Punk Rock compilation!! It's a poem she wrote, so i'm not sure if it's a book or a CD (or both, hopefully).
http://libranhusband.blogspot.com/2010/09/moped.html

Also, if you missed it, she posted the King Everything Demos #2 (her solo stuff) for download a few months back.

[Wobbie]

Katie and Allison's new project, Bad Banana's demo is available to download here, yo. http://pseliot.blogspot.com/2010/09/bad-banana.html :-)

[AP_Punk]

woot!!

[Wobbie]

woot!!
:highfive:

It's a super lo-fi demo, but the tracks are awesomely written and played, so it doesn't really detract much from it overall. In fact, the lo-fi sound really captures the feeling of two sisters having shitloads of fun playing and recording music. I'd like to hear better recorded songs of theirs one day though, but i'm loving the demo. And i love how it's called Crushfield, and their last name is Crutchfield :-d It's like we've been let in on a little personal joke.

haha yeah, i noticed that crutchfield name in the file last night. gave it a listen and it sounds sweet. dig the lo-fi sound of it; only wish the files came in a higher quality. maybe that'll happen later on? i dunno, but this rules. these gals rock at rocking!

[Wobbie]

I thought the P.S. Eliot/Iron Chic show sounded great. But check this line up for the Nov 2nd show...

P.S. Eliot, Cobra Skulls, Dead To Me

Damn living in a country that's so far away from all these awesome tours!! :-(

[AP_Punk]

i miss out on a lot of the fun stuff too! :pet:

and yeah, nice dreamy lineup.so dreamy.

[element4433]

When does their new album come out? I must listen to it.

[shit stroll]

ugh, why can't that show be in Atlanta instead of Birmingham? city is such a fucking dump.

[Wobbie]

When does their new album come out? I must listen to it.
All they've said so far is "fall". I'm at the desperate point now where i'm checking every single day for a release date, or a song that they've put up, or something, haha. I need this to be out now!

http://www.absolutepunk.net/images/smilies/lnr%20%2848%29.gif Yeah, i've heard you say before that hardly any bands come to New Mexico.

[Wobbie]

Dr. Dan Yemin is a P.S. Eliot fan!! :-d

http://www.punknews.org/article/40304

[shit stroll]

so when is the new LP coming out?

[AP_Punk]

no new update. but hopefully one comes soon with more specific details!

[Wobbie]

All they've said is Fall. I'm hanging out so bad for it, i'm at the point where i'm checking Katie's blogs every day, as well as the Salinas Records site.

[AP_Punk]

new katie project:

4rdFcXsccuk

[Wobbie]

STILL no news on when 'Sadie' is coming out :-( Isn't it Winter there now? They said a Fall release.

That solo video is so great though! I've ripped it, and have been rocking constantly since she posted it. She's doing a split with Chris Clavin. Hope it comes out soon.

[Wobbie]

Ooh, before i forget, Katie covering The Magnetic Fields' The Book of Love.

OK, so the Salinas Records site on the 18th posted "P.S. Eliot's second LP, "Sadie," has been mastered and will be sent out to be plated within the next week or so. Hopefully the LP will be released early this spring". Sprinnnng!? Awwww :-(

Here's Katie's views on Lauren Measure's essay on sexism in the punk rock community. Interesting stuff.

boys fun (http://libranhusband.blogspot.com/2011/02/boys-fun.html)


over the past few years i've developed and obsessed over a hypothesis regarding the male domination in the "big scheme" umbrella of the punk rock counter culture/diy community/whatever. it's been tested and proven (by me) time and time again and no one ever brings it to light. lauren denitzio, a dear friend of mine, recently wrote a piece that was reposted by punknews. it was (big shock) "misunderstood" by punknews readers for the most part. i mean based on my observation, the typical punknews patron is a 15 year old browbeat dick wad, but because the internet can be a conveniently anonymous place for bigots and browbeat dick wads alike, i have to assume that punknews represents the typical "punk". i'm going off on a tangent. let it be known that i have consumed a significant and notably impressive amount of whiskey tonight and it has created a soapbox in which i will stand on and shout to whoever the fuck wants to listen: sexist/bigoted pricks in the punk scene are really just like slighted ex-boyfriends....and THAT is my everlasting two cents. my hypothesis. you confront them, they pull out the lowest of low blows because they're intimidated/rejected/scorned..and while many times they are physically overbearing, they are also mentally and emotionally anxious, inept and scared shitless. it's a hypermasculine defense mechanism. calling punk dudes out for being oppressive and alienating is essentially like breaking up with your boyfriend when you're a freshman in highschool. it is most certainly the "right" thing to do, you just have to be prepared to be called a cunt on the internet.
Also, the Waxahatchee split with Chris Clavin is so rad! Katie's songs are amazing (And Chris's are pretty damn good too). I'm totally in love with the song 'Home Game' right now :inlove: Also, Katie posted the lyrics here http://libranhusband.blogspot.com/2011/02/waxalyrics.html

How did i miss this! Bad Banana did a Nervous Energies session!

http://www.ryanrussell.net/nervousenergies/ne_badbanana.html

I kinda wish they did an Allison song and a Katie song instead of two Allison songs, for variety sake, but both songs still sound incredibly rad!

Also, i don't think i posted it at the time, but here's the P.S. Eliot session, in which Katie plays a new song of theirs!

What Kirbie said. The Living In Squalor EP is amazing! It's available as a free or donation download here http://www.thecottagerecords.com/home.html

Plus track down their cover of 'Bruno Is Orange'. It's fantastic.

Also check out The Ackleys' self-titled album. Katie and Allison's old band from when they were like 16. Such a great album. Their 'Forget Forget Derive Derive' EP is great too.

So I have been trying to get my hands on The Ackleys full length and the forget forget derive derive EP for a while now, but no luck so far. Does anybody know where to get this?

Download or physical copies?

Downloads are on iTunes, physical copies of Forget Forget Derive Derive are here http://www.interpunk.com/item.cfm?Item=65714& but physical copies of s/t are pretty rare. eBay would probably be your best shot for that one. Or message Katie herself through here http://libranhusband.blogspot.com/ and see if she has any to sell/knows who does. She always messages back.

[Wobbie]

Also, so close for Sadie now! I've been waiting hard for this for so long now. I'm all embarrassingly giddy with excitement at being able to hear it soon!! :-d

It's so good too! A little more punk rock influenced than their stuff in P.S. Eliot, which is good, because it would have been kinda pointless to just sound like a more lo-fi P.S. Eliot. I can't wait for the full length!

Plus, Sadie is definitely a contender for AOTY for me. I love it so so so much. I had incredibly high expectations for it too :-d So glad it lived up to them.
