YOUNG FOLKS: ELAINE GREER

We first met Elaine Greer at the Westheimer Block Party a few weeks ago, and before even hearing her music we were pretty stoked to hear she once had serious enough contemplation of performing under the name “The Duck Duck Goose Band” to swipe the MySpace extension. Well, sadly enough for anyone that though said moniker would make for an ACES split 7” with The Red Rovers, The Tetherballs, The Heads Up Seven Ups or any of the numerous grade-school game-invoking bands that by any right should be out there (we have no clue if any of these actually exist, btw. Steal these names), she no longer uses it. Instead you can sometimes catch her as Elaine Greer and the Ever After, or, as she is described on the flyer for her show at Super Happy Fun Land tonight, Elaine Greer and The Boys.

The Boys are a recent addition to what Elaine has been up to, and fill out her occasionally campfire, occasionally twee, often walks-in-the-woodsy elven-folk. (But hey, seriously, Elaine – put ‘Everything Again’ back up for people to download – that jam is the catchy marmalade!). Her songs are blushy and have a breeze behind them, and you will prolly get annoyed if people talk while she is playing. So, like we said, consider checking out Elaine and the Boys tonight at Super Happy Fun Land with Ayn, Alle Norton and Kelly Shay Hicks.
