elevator show.

"went to see you for the third time, what a time..."

a brief history of elevator to hell, in stages:

rick white solo project -- the elevator to hell 12"
record contains a lot of stuff that sounds like demos
for eric's trip songs.  it's quite stripped-down and
intimate sounding.

full-fledged band status -- you can hear elevator to 
hell, the band, on the sappy 7".  very full sound 
thanks in part to keyboard stuff by ron bates.

stripped-down blues-rock band -- stage #3 of ETH
made its debut at birdland last night.  the lineup
was rick, tara, and mark.  rick was doing a lot more
solo stuff than what he did in eric's trip.  the
band now features both a pared-down lineup and a 
pared-down sound, compared to what people saw at
the pop explosion.  compared to ET, it's much
bluesier.  the songs aren't all particularly good
yet but they have a great sound.  i hope rick 
keeps pushing things in this new direction. even
if the delay effects make his guitar playing sound
like the edge.  :-)  it's also interesting to note
that rick is doing less mopey-voice singing and
more full-on screaming.  :-)
