Re: The Cocktail Preachers and Nelsonics in Chicago!

Brian Neal (xarxas) - 30 Nov 2004 19:42:36

I think this would be a great show. Of course I have seen the CP's
twice now - highly recommended, but I got to see the Nelsonics once
about 2 or maybe 3 years ago. They opened for Los Straitjackets in
Iowa City. They were a lot of fun. I had no idea who they were or
what to expect. Their original songs had a kind of
exotic/loungey/surfy feel to them, with song titles like "The
Relaxed Ambassador". Ha-ha. I bought their CD at the show. They also
played "The Savage" by The Shadows. Their keyboard player also
played sax and theremin (he even played sax and keys at the same
time!). A very fun band!
