Bios
Ed Pastorini studied piano with Lenny Tristano but loved the Beatles and Beefheart even more than jazz. His songs reflect all these influences as well as his literary heroes Joyce, Beckett and Pinter. Ed's raspy, accurate singing, trigonometrical melodies, stunning piano and guitar playing and the unmatched brilliance of his lyrics have made him a legend in the downtown scene. Artists with whom Ed has worked include Elysian Fields and Beth Orton.
Indigo Street won't divulge information. She's a startlingly original guitarist, apparently un-influenced by guitarists. She's mentioned Ella and Bix, and is/was a member of Partyface, Dwarf Heart and Lulu and the Trivets. Some speculate she is wanted for mail fraud.
Ben Perowsky plays the drums. He's played them since he was 3 years old. He was born in New York City. He has played with a lot of very famous musicians and has had a lot of fun. When he was very young, he started playing professionally with big stars like jazz great James Moody, pop songstress Rickie Lee Jones and soul/jazz hit maker Roy Ayers. Ben grew up listening to many kinds of music. You can tell when you hear him play. Besides the many bands he plays for, he has a few of his own bands. He writes music for them. One is a new four piece band with accordion, clarinet and bass. They're good. Another band is called Moodswing orchestra. They're good too. There are 7 musicians in that band. Ben put out a cd of a smaller version of this band on his own record label called El Destructo. There is more music on the way.
Oren Bloedow Writer, Guitarist, and Vocalist for Elysian Fields. His birthday is July 3rd. Born in New York City, where he grew up on the streets "throwing things at cars". His father was a playwright, poet and film editor, whose erratic income Oren's mother supplemented by working as a bookkeeper to support Oren and his sister.
