November 15, 2001:
Ok the band is back from its tour of France, Italy and the U.S. Midwest. Some pictures and more rambling notes will be posted soon. The new EP is available in most stores, and reviews are starting to come in. For the band, it's time to buckle down
and finish tracks for the forthcoming LP (which really won't be realeased until May, probably).
September 25, 2001:
The new Elk City EP, the Sea is Fierce,
will be released by WARM Electronic Recordings on October 23,
2001. We've got the promos in our hands as we speak, and they
look great. Pick up a copy at your local record store or at finer
online
outlets.
The band will be touring in France and Italy in October and the
southern and midwestern United States in November. Check back
soon for official dates.
July 9, 2001:
Check out "This is Next Year," a great compilation
of Brooklyn-based bands to be released July 17 by Arena
Rock Recording Co. Elk City contributes the track "Three Ears".
There will be two shows at the newly opened North Six Club in
Williamsburg, Brooklyn to celebrate the release. Elk City will
play at the second, on July 14, at 7:30pm. See the shows
page for details.
June 26, 2001:
Good news for those concerned with Elk City's
future! WARM Electronic
Recordings (home of Crooked Fingers, Azure Ray & Empire State),
from Athens, GA, will release the band's next two collections
of recordings in the United States. The first, an EP titled "the
Sea is Fierce", will be released October 23, 2001. The band will
follow this EP with a full-length in early 2002. WARM has a production
and distribution deal with Touch & Go, so, by all appearances,
Elk City's music will actually be available in stores this time
around! Elk City will also perform in the WARM showcase at the
CMJ festival (Sept. 13-16) this year.
May 21, 2001:
Back from a jolly European tour, Elk City reacquaints
itself with life in NYC . . . the horror! Watch for shows this
summer in and around New York. Meanwhile, the band will commit
to tape several new songs that have sprung up in the last month.
Simultaenously, on the West Coast, filmmaker and culture guru
James C. Taylor will begin editing the 60 odd hours of footage
he and his omnipresent film crew captured of Elk City's French
invasion--baguettes, brioche, and backstage antics we never suspected
the Elks were even capable of. Check here for updates on when
it will be available.
April 11, 2001:
Elk City will be performing live, April 30, in
a "Black Session" on France Inter radio hosted by Bernard Lenoir.

week tour of France, visiting Geneva and London as well. See Shows
for details.
