Who are Elastica?
A traditional alt.music.alternative question… Elastica are a predominately female British band who emerged to great critical acclaim in 1993. They gained the media’s attention playing twenty minute sets full of explosive two minute songs, but have grown to become one of the most highly regarded British bands of today, having released four singles and a brilliant debut album. They are a band who have been under the spotlight since their formation because of their numerous highly placed connections, and have even survived being declared part of the New Wave of the New Wave (did anyone else?) In the UK they are signed to a small independent label, Deceptive, while Geffen handle their recordings internationally. See also their history and biogs.
