ILL EASE, the solo band of multi instrumentalist Liz Sharp, is over in
March 07 to promote her new long player “All Systems A-Go-Go!” released
in the United States 23 November on San Francisco label Cochon
Records and distributed throughout Europe on 9 April 07.
** European dates available 1 March - 30 April 07 **
** Available for support slots or to headline small clubs **
The ILL EASE show is fun fueled whirlwind of slippery vocals,
deconstructed guitar riffs, bass loops and drum licks that manifest
snippets of Chicagoan electric blues and warped Rolling Stones b-sides
all scratched and skipping to 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’s
as loud as a 5 piece.
On previous tours, she has opened for Erase Errata, The Fall, The Kills
and Scout Niblett.

REVIEWS
“****” - Q
“She’s a flurry of intoxication.” - Plan B
“Sounding like an entire band while being a solo artist is one
accomplishment, but this hot thing is making bad-ass bluesy rock that
would make the whiskey-soaked Jennifer Royal Trux proud.” - iD
“Veering from unsweetened grunge-pop to groove-heavy guitar mantras, via
dryly skewed urban narratives. Think The Breeders with added funk or an
analaogue, spikier Peaches – smart, gritty and sneakily compulsive.” -
Kerrang KKK
