Elle Milano Tour

• 18th Mar 2008

The name is misleading: ELLE MILANO is no willowy raven haired songstress, nor someone gracing the pages of Vogue. ELLE MILANO is a band, a three piece now based in Brighton but formed at Leicester De Montfort University in the winter of 2004.

ELLE MILANO are set to release the first single ‘Meanwhile in Hollywood’ from their debut album ‘Acres of Dead Space Cadets’. The single is relesed on the 31st March 2008, shortly followed by the album on the 14th April.

Produced by the band themselves with the intention of capturing what they call the “’band in a room’ sound” perfected by the Pixies on Surfer Rosa or Nirvana’s In Utero, there’s still an undeniable Englishness to the album, perhaps the result of their self-built studio’s location in a Kent country cottage.

This is an exciting band so prepare yourself for guitars to slam ribcages, bass to pound groins and drums to rattle cranial walls like prime US post-hardcore. Get ready for shiny keyboards and melodic ingenuity to seduce you with revitalized, rewired synth pop. Get ready to be soothed by heartfelt tales of late night loneliness, adolescent confusion and twenty-something disgust. ELLE MILANO is not what you expect at all.
