About Me


Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor - Image Hosting

Small Town Girls is moi, Elena Lange, a kid of the suburbs, a big city nights girl and presently also a lady of rural Japan. Known as the singer and guitarist of Stella and TGV (myspace.com/tgvmusic), my legacy is the reintroduction of English as the main singing language after terrible years of guitar songs sung in German. Then I moved to Japan. My Stevie Nicks-inspired techno gets its vibes from the Hokuriku crab, Japanese architecture and the Kansai dialect. Listen up. From this week, MY TEARS ARE FILLED WITH EYES will float like an enormous pink balloon in a cloudless sky. No sentimentalities, please. Get on your dancefloor and unemotionally involved! MARIA SHARAPOVA: Immensely popular in Japan, blonde Maria is this year`s role model. Get on the court and enjoy! EXPLAIN HIM TO ME. A personal favourite. The bass kills all the sparrows on the roof. ECHIZEN BELLS, the latest hit, has a hypnotic bass line and Inner City-like late 80s house piano riffs. I love and don´t just you!
