Eliot is calling it a day. I<br />sincerely feel that we’ve creatively accomplished everything we set<br />out to from the get-go and dragging it out would be brazen and<br />pointless. I considered P.S. Eliot “the band I always wanted to start”<br />but as I’ve grown and Allison has grown I’ve come to realize that<br />“band” has grown too. P.S. Eliot’s time as a fulfilling outlet for us<br />has passed so we’re ending it gracefully and moving on. <br /><br />We’ll be playing the Fest in Gainesville as well as 2 shows in December in<br />Brooklyn. I’ll be focusing most of my time and energy on my solo project, Waxahatchee, which has a record coming out in February on Salinas Records and will be touring the US and Europe. <br />Allison is in the process of starting a new band as well. Endless thanks to all<br />those who have encouraged us. The past 4 years have been monumental for Allison and I and it's all because of this band and your support. <br /><br />Our last 4 shows:<br /><br />Saturday, September 24th @ Death By Audio, Brooklyn<br />w/ Witches, RVIVR and Nude Beach<br /><br /><br />Friday, October 28th @ The Fest 10 (the Atlantic), Gainesville<br />w/ Senders, O Pioneers!!, Little League and many more<br /><br />Sunday, December 4th @ the Bell House, Brooklyn<br />w/Latterman and Nude Beach<br /><br />***LAST SHOW EVER***<br />Saturday, December 9th @ Death By Audio, Brooklyn<br />w/ The Two Funerals, Cat Vet and 1 more TBA<br /><br />LOVE<br />-Katieps eliothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13515475186762818951noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1101113226960929220.post-643244976379336872011-06-24T12:02:00.001-07:002011-06-24T12:11:37.182-07:00plansHI EVERYONE,<br />so we've neglected the shit out of this blog and this band and I think it's time to catch everyone up on what's going on with us. If you're reading this then you probably know that in April we released an LP on Salinas Records called "Sadie". It's available at <a href="salinasrecords.com">salinasrecords.com</a> and from No Idea. <br /><br />Allison and I moved to New York earlier this year with the original intention of eventually calling it quits with P.S. Eliot. We've had a change of heart after the release of the record. We decided to try and do P.S. Eliot in Brooklyn and we have some exciting plans in the near future! <br /><br />Firstly, we're playing a really tight show at Stolen Sleeves with our buddies in Ampere. It's July 23rd and if you live in New York you should totally try and come. It's our first show as a local New York band and hopefully there will be more to follow. <br /><br />Next thing I'm psyched to tell everyone is that we have a late summer tour in the works with Big Eyes and it's gonna rule! The dates are being worked out but we'll post them all really soon.<br /><br />Lastly, we're playing the Fest in Gainesville again this year! I'm pretty sure that tickets are sold out but hopefully the Fest folks will find more venues and thus sell more tickets. All that info can be found at <a href="thefestfl.com">thefestfl.com</a><br /><br />Anyway, that's what's new in my life. Our lives. Be cool.<br />-Katieps eliothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13515475186762818951noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1101113226960929220.post-69329099939256751492011-01-13T11:26:00.000-08:002011-01-13T11:36:01.514-08:00dear friends and enemiesA few announcements to the world from P.S. Eliot:<br /><br />First off, I know we've been vaguely touching on the subject of a new LP for some time now. There still isn't a set in stone release date, but I can tell you that the record has been sent to be plated and we expect test pressings in the not so distant future. "Sadie" will definitely be out sometime between February and April of 2011 on Salinas Records. I think thats pretty safe to say. Marco wrote about the current state of the project at: <a href="salinasrecords.com">salinasrecords.com</a><br /><br />Our darling angel buddy Kate Wadkins is doing the artwork, which is very exciting. She's endless talented and did the art for the "Living In Squalor" 7 inch. Check out all her wonder at <a href="katewadkins.com">katewadkins.com</a><br /><br />On a more somber note, Will Granger has decided to leave his P.S. Eliot days behind him. He was a wonderful addition to our band for the last few years and we are sad to let him go. Our old and good buddy Chayse Porter is going to be taking his place in upcoming shows and hopefully a summer tour! Chayse plays in a rad band here in Birmingham called Dolarhyde and you should all check them out. <a href="myspace.com/dolarhydeisaband">myspace.com/dolarhydeisaband</a><br /><br />Lastly, Allison and my new band Bad Banana are going on tour in February/March! Check the dates @ <a href="http://badbananaband.blogspot.com/2010/11/2011-winter-tour-dates.html">http://badbananaband.blogspot.com/2010/11/2011-winter-tour-dates.html</a> and come see us!!

Eliot that we've sort of neglected to post about. First of all, we had an incredible tour with Football, Etc. from Houston in July. Thanks to everyone who booked a show or cooked us food or bought a record or just came out to the shows. We had a really great summer. <br /><br />Secondly, we are SOOOOO excited to announce that we just recorded our second LP. It was a really positive recording experience and we can't wait for all of you to hear it. It's called "Sadie" and it will be coming out in the fall on Salinas Records. Stay tuned.<br /><br />And last but certainly not least, we are officially playing THE FEST 9 in Gainesville! Hope to see you all there. <a href="THEFESTFL.COM">THEFESTFL.COM</a><br /><br />XOXOps eliothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13515475186762818951noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1101113226960929220.post-77500037786873127162010-07-05T12:27:00.000-07:002010-07-09T16:38:40.254-07:00summer tour 2010We're about to embark on a 3 week giggin', cut-off wearin', beer-drinkin' buddy tour.

Many times it nearly demolishes my faith in anything. I made that mistake today when I got a google alert for P.S. Eliot. I'm just going to post actual quotes from the thread and you can all tell me if I'm being melodramatic and defensive for nothing.<br /><br />THREAD NAME: "girl bands with one guy member" (initial red flag that I was about to be super-offended)<br /><br />ok so from here on out I'm just going to post what people said-<br />"dude would get mad pussy."<br /><br />"You know the male member is writing all the songs."<br /><br />"usually it's all dudes and one girl."<br /><br />"none that matter"<br /><br />"Le Tigre<br /><br />Painfully fucking awful.<br />I thought they were all women?<br /><br />haha im 99% sure the one that looks like a dude is really a chick."<br /><br />"i think baby shakes had a male drummer at some point. would love to get my dick all up in the baby shakes."<br /><br />"dude is so getting laid"<br /><br />"this is unrelated, but it should always be the drummer."<br /><br />"band practice would suck for the dude if the girls are on their period."<br /><br /><br />So that is the majority of it. Like. This isn't some Judd Apatow movie that warrant nervous laughter from me. This is a punk messageboard. The link to the thread is:<br /><a href="http://www.theb9.com/pages-topic/722858/2?PHPSESSID=3981b8764a7c359dc9a4273e43f0f04e">http://www.theb9.com/pages-topic/722858/2?PHPSESSID=3981b8764a7c359dc9a4273e43f0f04e</a><br /><br />I'm not bashing Bridge9 as a label but the fact that there are kids like this who support punk music/bands makes me want to die. Just thought I should share in case any of you had any faith in most hardcore kids.ps eliothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13515475186762818951noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1101113226960929220.post-39337135322482538932010-03-29T11:39:00.001-07:002010-03-29T11:42:23.161-07:00it's officialWe're going on tour with our friends from Houston, TX.

All lyrics by Katie Crutchfield, written sometime in 2009 besides "Broken Record" which is an old song. <br /><br />BROKEN RECORD<br />you're trying to relate<br />it's not today, it's just the way<br

shitSo-<br /><br />We are on tour in Richmond and some crazy stuff has happened. We borrowed a van to take out for a week and we got about 9 hours from home before we realized the plates were expired. Hell of expired. So our very new and AWESOME friend Kyle is going to drive us in his SUV for the remainder (also the vast majority) of tour. We are really psyched that we still get to go but the situation was pretty stressful. If you come to our shows on this tour be sure to stop by the merch table and give Kyle a tip, hug, toke, cookie, highfive, etc. <br /><br />The Two Funerals couldn't finish their set last night because the cops came and shut down the show.

We posted a song from our new 7 inch on myspace. It's called "Bear Named Otis". Our friend Mike at Freedom School Records is putting out the 7 inch in February and we couldn't be more excited about it. Freedom School has an awesome repertoire of releases and we are really happy he wanted to do a record with us. It's going to be called "Living In Squalor" and I think it'll be out next month some time.<br /><br />We also posted a few tourdates for a short trip we're taking in March. There should be more info regarding this tour soon, but for now we just have the tentative dates. If you live in or around any of these cities we really hope to hang out with you soon. <br /><br />March 13th-Richmond, VA<br />March 14th- Washington D.C.<br />March 15th-Baltimore, MD<br />March 16th-Brooklyn, NY<br />March 17th- Cambridge, MA<br />March 18th-Philadelphia, PA<br />March 19th-Columbus, OH<br />March 20th-Louisville, KYps eliothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13515475186762818951noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1101113226960929220.post-68910033309420504372009-11-13T10:12:00.000-08:002009-11-13T10:13:24.979-08:00mail order king everything tapesthis summer when p.s. eliot when on tour i brought a long a few demo cd-r's that i threw together and i'm thinking about making them into a less thrown together tape. if anyone wants to send me their name and mail address i will send them one. its 8 songs that i wrote and recorded this year myself. let me know if anyone is interested in that!<br /><br />-katie/p.s. eliot<br />myspace.com/kingeverythingbirmingham<br /><3ps eliothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13515475186762818951noreply@blogger.com18tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1101113226960929220.post-24719614791367920072009-10-03T21:12:00.000-07:002009-10-03T21:19:07.037-07:00newsFriends-<br /><br />Today we recorded a 7 inch. It took all day long but after all you can eat stir fry and pabst tall cans and lots of patience we did it. It'll be coming out later this year on Freedom School Records and we're super psyched about it.<br /><br />Another thing we're psyched about: THE FEST!! the schedule is up, and as it reads on the website we'll be playing at George's at 5:20 on Sunday. (At the same time as Ampere, unfortunately.) We always have fun at The Fest and we're really pumped to play this year.<br /><br />Lastly, we put a full length record out a few months ago and if you don't have a copy yet and want one the best place to get it the <a href="http://www.salinasrecords.com">Salinas Records website</a>. There are a lot of awesome records up for sale on the site so take a gander.<br /><br />Thanks for reading. I swear I'll start doing this more.<br /><br />-Katie/P.S.

i'm half-drunk in this crowded kitchen</div><div>and i yell 'you're a fucking hypocrite, </div><div>you wear your fear under your makeup'</div><div>being passive or being hostile</div><div>its good to

degrees</div><div>this good mood's right in front of me</div><div>like a couple of beers in good company</div><div>but your vacancy ignites me</div><div>you choose peril to just feel

repressed</div><div>and i wish you were here with me</div><div>because i'd hide behind you shamelessly</div><div>atleast tonight</div><div><br /></div><div>i said just stay a while</div><div>maybe you appear stoic or more stable than i could admit</div><div>florescent margins, we're born on edge</div><div>formally brain dead</div><div>we reside behind, forget ahead</div><div><br /></div><div>you won't, you won't, you'll never say</div><div>what you're thinking about most everyday</div><div>and your function masks your sentiment</div><div>your laugh conceals your discontent</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>THE CYBORG</div><div>i won't know the score when the sedative stains</div><div>nothing enthralled me before</div><div>but glimpses of love or disdain </div><div><br /></div><div>but i don't wanna live forever</div><div>i'm not looking for relief</div><div>i don't wanna live forever</div><div>you apprehension is what's bringing you peace</div><div><br /></div><div>i drug you into this mess</div><div>and now i push you away</div><div>3 years if varnished distress</div><div>polarize delight or dismay</div><div>habitual contempt, to animalistic lust</div><div>i could hardly wash it down by the slow, dauntless dusk</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>ZOROASTER</div><div>i bet you thought you'd die before you'd see the day</div><div>when i'd adher to these trite, tender cliches</div><div>like you and me, we've been through everything</div><div>why we deny this pattern or what underlies</div><div>teenage southern comfort, penitent goodbyes</div><div>and my laments always sound like lullabies</div><div>its how our heart's contrived, to hang heavy</div><div>we get caught up all drenched in misanthropy</div><div>disagreeing just to disagree</div><div>and either i'm sadistic or they fall in love too easily</div><div><br /></div><div>but its not redlight love</div><div>its not the grief

empathetic discourse is like an inner alarm</div><div>that you and me always end up back in each other's arms</div><div>it's our tender, tenacious hearts</div><div>they hang heavy</div><div><br /></div><div>SORE SUBJECT</div><div>like a helpless captive, a distraught midwife</div><div>like a libran husband and a capricorn wife</div><div>i turn to wine and whiskey and these cryptic songs</div><div>maybe i'm passive aggressive or maybe i'm wrong</div><div><br /></div><div>but don't go yet, old lipstick, old cassettes</div><div>clutter the carpet where my futile head rests </div><div>and i'd explain it, but i've long-since dismissed</div><div>the thought of vitality, you'll get nothing out of me</div><div>but don't go yet</div><div><br /></div><div>and like a sore subject, objective pursuit</div><div>like a fearful me or an asinine you</div><div>and we avoid eye contact as i'm just dragged along</div><div>maybe i should just grow up or maybe i'm wrong</div><div><br /></div><div>as soon as my eyes avert, more skin of alabaster</div><div>you don't warn me before, you just devastate me after</div><div>and like a dangling noose or like an endless sea</div><div>we both know how to love and i think you owe more to me</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>TROUBLED MEDIUM</div><div>hollowed out between the places to go</div><div>there might be something there but you know i don't know</div><div>and i think we both find comfort</div><div>in the reckless exterior</div><div>because its 3 a.m. again and we're both still awake</div><div>our senses shut off for simplicity's sake</div><div>we both have a way with words but the silence sounds much better for tonight</div><div><br /></div><div>i'm sorry for the mess, you see my mind is somewhere else</div><div>we revel in obscurity, surmount when we dwell</div><div><br /></div><div>now you're making coffee in an unfamiliar house</div><div>indulge in frailty, looking for a way out</div><div>and temperance engulfs your mind everytime our aversion intertwines</div><div>it's early morning and we're both wide awake</div><div>kind of nostalgic but clearly a mistake</div><div>we connect through detachment</div><div>we prosper in a troubled medium</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>ps

never update this thing, and it certainly isn't because we have nothing to say or share, but i guess we never think anyone cares to keep up...but that sounds awful commiserative and that couldn't contradict how we actually feel more! we have a tour coming up and a new record that's on the way! we couldn't be more excited if we tried.<div><br /></div><div>the new record should be about 12 songs, with all kinds of crazy surprises and contributions from friends. we start recording down in tuscaloosa on november 28th and should wrap up december 7th in birmingham. matt whitson is engineering it all. i can't wait, i hope all our hard work and thought pays off. it should be released on house of love records in late january.</div><div><br /></div><div>also, we're doing a tour with our dear friends SPELLS december 27th-january 4th. the dates are all up on myspace, and as i'm sure you can see there are a lot of holes. if anyone can help with those, don't hesitate to get in touch! we'll play anywhere in the semi-near proximity of those unconfirmed dates SO if you want us to play your basement, bedroom, backyard or local all-ages venue, let us know.</div><div><br /></div><div>thanks for reading. thanks for caring. hope to see you all in the near future.</div><div>-katie/ps eliot</div>ps
