About Me

Here's the Deal: My solo efforts are putting me into a downward spiral of anxiety, so I'm taking a brief hiatus from doing it in favor of playing with some other amazing bands. Katie Stelmanis is on the verge of taking over the earth, and Dance Yourself to Death will literally make you dance yourself to death. Additionally, for more Carmen Elle related stuff you can check out the new and improved Donlands and Mortimer. We'll see what happens.Love, Carmen

AHH! DISORGANIZED!

So I know I've been telling people that the Holy Joe's show is at 6, but doors are in reality, at 8. EIGHT O'CLOCK. I don't know why I thought that...I mean, what shows start at six? It's pretty rare....
