One hell of a bender

Ill Ease

"Brooklyn New York's Ill Ease is the solo band of multi instrumentalist Elizabeth Sharp. After playing drums in New Radiant Storm King for 5 years. Sharp decided to go it alone in 1998 recording three albums for the Smilex label which brought her to the attention of Too Pure/Beggars Group. Her first UK album release "The Exorcist" came out in 2004 and "The After After Party Party" EP followed in 2005.

The Ill Ease live show is a fun fuelled whirlwind of deconstructed guitar riffs, bass loops and drum licks performed as one seamless set with one song melting in to the next Like Ill Ease recordings, many songs in the live performance begin with the drums, are built up with bass loops and fragmented guitar riffs, and then fully animated by cityscape sound collages, aka found sounds, like car horns and police sirens. Elizabeth Sharp runs the Ill Ease show from her drum stool front of stage delivering her unique slippery vocal style which crests over and contrasts with the drums, guitar, bass, shaker, tambourine and everything else that rattles and buzzes. Ill Ease manifest snippets of Chicagoan electric blues and warped Rolling Stones b-sides all scratched and skipping to a New York noise with a hip-hop beat. Sonic dissonance with recalcitrant vocal hooks that won't go home. Woozy rhythms that won't stumble out until after last call. A one-piece that you'd swear was a 5 piece if you blurred your eyes." -sxsw
