The quartet from San Sebastian Thee Eliam will accompany Mudhoney as a supporting act on several dates in September in Spain and France.
Thee Eliam are back with their third EP released in 2024. After debuting at the beginning of the year with “The future in the sand”and in April present “Move along”now release three new songs as a prelude to the tour in which they will accompany the historic Mudhoney on several dates in Spain and France (see dates below). A work that, like the previous ones, was recorded, mixed and produced by Lemy River and Thee Eliam in ARAX Studies.
The band, which moves through the sounds of American rock, punk, garage and psychedelia, is made up of Elissa Anaut (FD Funk) vocalist and percussion, Javier Vallejo (Bobbi Relac, Los Nerviosos, Paja) on drums, Liam Barksdale (The Drove, Easy Big Fella, Natalie Wouldn´t) as vocalist, guitar, piano/organ and Michael Ashby (White Limozeen, Karate Dog) on bass. Seattle musician Liam Barksdale and San Sebastian native Elissa Anaut founded the group after meeting in the summer of 2022 at a Paja concert in the capital of Gipuzkoa. Javier Vallejo played drums in the group, and joined the project. A few months later, the group was completed by Californian Michael Ashby, a friend of Liam’s from university, who had come to visit with his Fender bass as luggage. For the September tour, they will be accompanied on keyboards by the Vancouver musician and composer Shane Abram Nelken.
The band describes the songs on their new EP in this way “Taste The Frog”which follows “the dynamic of visiting the studio every 2 or 3 months to record 3, 4 or 5 songs”:
DISTRACTIONS
This song talks about how we all need distractions that give us motivation to live, not to die.
THE CHORE
We are all small, insignificant dots on this huge planet, working for one thing.
WINGS TO FLY
We have choices. We can be free and we can be together at the same time.
