The Red Elvises played at Knuckleheads--the hardest venue to find. It is really frustrating trying to find that place. This was the second time I've seen them, and the first time for Shell. (She was out of town the first time--2 summers ago--that I saw them.) Only the drummer and lead singer were the same. The long-time bass player wasn't there for some reason. Man, these guys can play. The new girl with the mohawk has a big vocal range. We were impressed.
One thing that really stuck out to me this time, though. The Red Elvises are kind of trashy. The songs of theirs that I listen to aren't so bad, but that makes me forget what the other songs are like. We had a lot of fun, but I would not recommend them to everyone who reads this.
I didn't keep track of the songs they played, but I can tell you they did play a cover of Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game." They also did "I Want to See You Bellydance," at which point a few girls from the audience got up on the stage and put the "belly" in bellydance. It was funny and weird.
