DAYDREAMING IN THE BACK OF A VANArticle By Madison Foster
The boys in the Toronto and Niagara
region band and garage rockers, Elk, officially released their
sophomore album “Daydreams” on Tuesday, July 17th.
Their first full length with record label Indoor Shoes but second
release with the label. Elk's 2011 EP “Balm Beach” had the honour
of being the first 7” release from Indoor Shoes so needless to say
the band (including members Kyle Connely, Ben Pokol, Michael Price
and Josh Korody) was more than ready to get back to work with the
label.
Although last Tuesday marked the
actually release date for the new LP, London, ON was the town of
choice of a pre-release party on June 28th where
show-goers could walk out with a copy of the album which was not
available anywhere else. On that night before the band hit the stage
to close off the show, they spent most of their time in the back of
their tour van drinking beers and smoking cigarettes. I got the
pleasure of joining them in the van and chatting with Price, Pokol,
Connely and fill-in drummer Jordan Rutledge
(as Korody was absent that night) who got thrown a few unsuspecting
curve balls. (Sorry Jordan)
