Elisa Flynn played guitar in rock bands in NYC and CT for most of the 90’s and half the 00’s until her last band broke up and she decided to go it alone.
Her songs, full of wit and off-kilter, hypnotic rhythms, on topics including love gone wrong in the 1800's, dead birds that are reborn, and the Donner Party, and are delivered in a low-fi, old school punk manner using just her big voice and a hopped-up guitar attached to a pile of effects pedals. Her first solo EP, Dimestore Mary, was called “an addicting collection of music, both raw and rigid in its execution” by womenfolk.net.
The Dimestore Mary EP is available for $6.50 (includes postage). Order via Paypal through elisa's website www.elisaflynn.com.
Elisa played previously with The Happy Ending, Jargon Society, Freak Baby, and the Bunny Brains (well, hasn't everyone been in the Bunny Brains at one time or another?)
Her first full length album called "Songs about Birds and Ghosts" was recorded at Emandee Studio by Mark Ospovat, and is now out on her own Cat in a Dress Records. Now available through elisaflynn.com, cdbaby, and iTunes.
