Les Shelleys, Part 2 - "The Biggest Lie"

Another charming cover from Les Shelleys, this time being "The Biggest Lie" by Elliott Smith.

Don't miss Part 1, wherein this delightful duo performs "I'm On Fire" by the Boss.

Les Shelleys, Part 1 - "I'm On Fire"

Les Shelleys is the American duo consisting of Tom Brosseau and Angela Correa. They came through Zürich in November to play a show at Helsinki Klub and afterward, in the "green room" (actually a small trailer), they played a few charming covers songs. I captured these songs on video and here is the first, a delightful cover of I'm On Fire by Bruce Springsteen:
 
Les Shelleys have an self-titled album which is available on iTunes or from Fat Cat Records

Tom Brosseau is So Punk Rock

On Sunday I saw Tom Brosseau play at the Helsinki Klub in Zürich. It was quite a surprise to see the name of someone who played in the same San Diego coffee shops as I did appear in the Zürich 20 Minutes(the local free paper). It was a great show and discovering the Helsinki Klub was quite a revelation to me.

Someone once told me that the most punk rock thing that you can do in these modern days is to be not punk rock at all. If that is true, then Tom Brosseau is the most punk rock guy I have ever met. If you check him out you will understand. Here is a video of him performing the song "Pretty Corey" whilst standing on a stool at the Helsinki Klub:
