SOMETHING LIKE ELVIS It's hard to say when this outstanding band was born. The fact is that their name was taken from David Lynch's movie and I'm allmost sure that Nicolas Cage would change his text line if he would know that a Polish band would be named after his sentence. They've started as regular rock trio but the real sound was born when Mako and Szymbor joined. Their very first studio recording was made in 1997 in the Polish legendary Swarzedz studio. The cassette version of their first album entitled "Personal Vertigo" was released in Poland in November 1997. Noone expected such a good reaction from music press. SLE was voted as one of "the debuts of the year" by one of Polish biggests music magazines. Other magazines said that "Personal Vertigo" is the best record of the year. No wonder that they got so many offers to appear on different compilations including "Brum" magazine compilation that sold 20 000 copies! CD version of SLE's debut was released on Antena Krzyku in Poland and Smoeff/De Konkurrent in the Netherlands. SLE is more than just a punk band. They have been asked by many theatre companies and performance artists to do shows with them. That means entering different world. They've played shows in art museums, theatres and regular rock clubs. The band toured Germany and Poland with Canadian alternative music heroes NoMeansNo and have been invited by Tom Holliston to play with NMN again... New album "Shape" was released on September 1st 1999 on Antena Krzyku Unc. in Poland and it's allready the most talked about record of this month. September 1999 was the time of another great Europeant tour that covered Belgium, Holland, Poland, Czech and Germany. They have opened up for Fugazi in Germany and Czech Republic and as Ian says SLE is the only support band playing ancores... In October/November 1999 SLE played 20 days tour of Poland. The year 2000 is the next stream of never ending shows all around Poland plus plans to tour Scandinavia and the rest of Europe. After recording "Cigarette Smoke Phantom" in 2002 the band split up.
