ELKO FIELDS
Brisbane-based ELKO FIELDS was originally the duo of guitarist/singer Kella Vee and Tomas Stephenson (drums/vocals), but at some point it seems Tomas was replaced by The Medics' Jhindu-Pedro Lawrie (drums/vocals). ELKO FIELDS is described online this way:
A female-fronted rock vessel crafting a cut-throat and unforgiving twist to dark blues and garage rock 'n' roll. A body, morphed to a Les Paul 'Black Beauty', scattering thunderous blues-infused riffs to sweetened sassy vocals. With rock 'n' roll the wagon to a journey of shredded love, existentialism and cosmic insignificance, ELKO FIELDS oozes rawness and vulnerability as a cut the bullshit front-woman. Likened to bands The Dead Weather for her unorthodox approach to rock, Royal Blood for their mammoth live presence, Vee breaks all rules of structure with un-expecting time changes, eerie semi-tone bends, with the essence of Nick Cave and PJ Harvey darkness, slightly brutal, razor-like hair and boots unpolished.
