>Brooklyn New York’s Ill Ease is the solo band of multi instrumentalist
>Elizabeth Sharp. After playing drums in New Radiant Storm King for 5
>years. Sharp decided to go it alone in 1998 recording three albums for the
>Smilex label which brought her to the attention of Too Pure/Beggars Group.
>Her first UK album release "The Exorcist" came out in 2004 and "The After
>After Party Party" EP followed in 2005.

>The Ill Ease live show is a fun fuelled whirlwind of deconstructed guitar
>riffs, bass loops and drum licks performed as one seamless set with one
>song melting in to the next Like Ill Ease recordings, many songs in the
>live performance begin with the drums, are built up with bass loops and
>fragmented guitar riffs, and then fully animated by cityscape sound
>collages, aka found sounds, like car horns and police sirens. Elizabeth
>Sharp runs the Ill Ease show from her drum stool front of stage delivering
>her unique slippery vocal style which crests over and contrasts with the
>drums, guitar, bass, shaker, tambourine and everything else that rattles
>and buzzes. Ill Ease manifest snippets of Chicagoan electric blues and
>warped Rolling Stones b-sides all scratched and skipping to a New York
>noise with a hip-hop beat. Sonic dissonance with recalcitrant vocal hooks
>that won't go home. Woozy rhythms that won't stumble out until after
>last call.
>A one-piece that you’d swear was a 5 piece if you blurred your eyes.
