Elisa Peimer: News

I hung out today with a group of girls I've known since I've known since I was 12. Several are now married with children and living in the suburbs, and this is our "Girl Day" - a chance to hang out sans husbands and kids. For me - who's already sans husbands and kids - it's a chance to catch up with people who know my past accomplishments and mistakes in a way that most people don't anymore. It can be a scheduling nightmare, trying to find a day and time that 5 busy people can all meet in the same place for a chunk of hours, but it's always worth it - rejuvenating and entertaining.

Speaking of past mistakes, I saw a great play tonight about women and their odd and often ridiculous relationships with men. It's called "I Used To Write On Walls."" All these women, who you would hope would know better, are obsessed with this really attractive, but incredibly vapid surfer dude. He shows them a little bit of affection, tells them they're pretty, and they're instantly in love, even though all of his other actions show that he's obviously not that into them. And I say, guilty as charged. Fortunately, my advanced age and experience has gotten me past the worst of these offenses, although it did spark some well-worn memories. That only really old friends need know about.

I'm signing a publishing deal with Listen Organic Publishing, a cool little company based in Vancouver, for my song, "The Rest of My Life." They're going to try and get it into TV, films and commercials. I'm actually a quarter Canadian, so that's probably why it happened.

You can listen to the song yourself on the Transparent album here.

"Pull of the Moon" is now officially up and available at CD Baby! Go there now to check out the page, add any comments, and, oh yeah - buy the CD if you like. If you don't already know CD Baby, go browse around - it's an amazing record store. Yes, I said it - record store.

I had a great time hanging out at the Whisperado show Saturday night at Desmonds. It's a completely un-cool Irish bar on Park Avenue in Manhattan - it's WELL-LIT, for God's sake. I love it. I shared work sob-stories with Meg and Kirsten, and met the lovely Andrea Reese, who works with this cool organization called NYC Success Team. That's their tagline, above. I can SO relate.

My dear friend and occasional backup singer, Deangela Napier, has started a wonderful photography business. She's having a show at the ElevenTen Gallery in Brooklyn starting tonight.
Check out her website here.

The new album, Pull of the Moon, just got put up on Amazon. Wait a couple of days before buying - I just sent them inventory. Or, if you NEED the album NOW, you can always buy directly from me through PayPal. Check out the Buy page for all the options.

Also check out the Radio section on the Music page. A great list of terrestrial and online radio has asked to play the new record - everywhere from Connecticut to Japan!

It was a tough night to play a gig in Boston. There was a both a Red Sox/Yankees game, AND a Patriots game Sunday night. Not that Boston's a sports town, or anything. They don't have a lot of colleges there either.

Still, those brave souls who ventured out to The Burren - a bar that DOESN'T have a television - got a little music from me and Jon. Here's a picture, taken by my wonderful sister, Laura.

Happy Rosh Hashana everybody! Let's party like it's 5768!

Just got back from The Lion's Den from my show with Irwin. Totally a last minute booking, but really fun. It's cool to play with just guitar and bass because you can really hear yourself. Sometimes with the full band, I totally can't hear myself sing. I've gotten pretty good at singing and just hoping I'm in tune.

And in the world of art news, my friend Jeff Frederick just launched a new website - Orignal Art for 99. He's an amazing painter, and he put this site together where you can purchase original artwork for only $99 per piece. As Jeff says, "Our mission is to connect up-and-coming artists with art-lovers who want original art for their homes (but don't want to spend a lot). Since the artist gets 90% of the sale price (unlike traditional galleries that take 50%), it is also a great way for emerging artists to see some income from their work." It's a new kind of indie artist!

Here it is, folks! At long last, the new website is up! With all sorts of cool features:

You can now listen to full length songs from every album I've released (and that would be 4, as of today!) Some you can download, some you can stream, but you can listen to everything in its entirety.

You can comment on this blog (which will now reside on the home page.) Just click the link below and you'll be taken to the guestbook, where you can share your thoughts and feelings. Sharing on the guestbook is also encouraged by going there directly and just commenting on things in general.

In other news, the new album, Pull of the Moon, is now available!! All the songs are posted on the Music Page. You can purchase it directly from me right now, through PayPal, and it will be up on CD Baby and Amazon in the next few of weeks. It will also be available to download through iTunes, Napster, Rhapsody, and other sites.

And I've scheduled a Record Release party here in New York for October 11 at R Bar on the Lower East Side. There's an open bar from 7 - 8pm, and the band goes on at 8. Everyone who comes gets a free CD! If you're in New York, do come by!
