Ellen the Felon with Mattronome

Ellen the Felon with Mattronome

Weapos;ve been trying to get Ellen Cook (AKA Ellen the Felon) to come do a session for a while and we are happy to report that she finally submitted. Sheapos;s one of the newer musicians thatapos;s been making waves in St. Louis in the last year. It took us awhile to finally decide to shoot this session on the lovely roof of City Museum with Mattronomeapos;s drum kit set up at the bottom of the giant slide there. Here Ellen performs two songs, apos;Where the Heart isapos; and apos;Oh Timmothyapos; and you can keep up with her via her website here: http://www.ellencook.net/

The Paper Dolls (Lo-Fi Session)

You might recognize the keyboardist here as Jenn Malzone from our session with Tight Pants Syndrome. Well this is her other band, one of two other bands actually. So she keeps busy. She told me about the Paper Dolls at the TPS session so when we got a chance we booked this one too. They play three songs here apos;Sparksapos;, apos;I Was Too Obviousapos; and apos;Trash Suicideapos; and you can listen and buy their album apos;Sparksapos; here: http://thepaperdolls.bandcamp.com/

Kid Congo Powers Pt 1

Kid Congo Powers has been doing this rock'n'roll thing for quite some time. He started out as the president of The Ramones Fan Club and eventually formed a band that was to become The Gun Club. That led to a stint as guitarist for The Cramps. The Pink Monkey Birds is his latest project and they're touring like crazy. This is their second stop in St. Louis in the last year (the first being an impromptu show at CBGB's last spring). This show at Off Broadway was a blast, we hope we captured a little of the fun on video for you.
