IIRC, Justine Frischmann moved to the U.S., got married, had kids and is living quietly in the Midwest. Donna Matthews found Jesus. Not sure about the other bandmembers. Sent from my iPhone.

"According to a Mojo article on Elastica in 2009, Justine emigrated to Colorado to study visual arts and psychology. She is married and lives and works in California's Bay Area.[2] Donna Mathews is a pastor in Totnes. Annie Holland lives in Brighton. Justin Welch and Sharon Mew are married and live in Devon. Paul Jones is the A&R man at Rough Trade joining after managing his Slogan label, which put out The Fall's Fall Heads Roll." - --from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elastica Snapped back, Andy AP: What made you want to go back to the 1980s? John Cusack: I remember it being  obviously it was the formative years of my life because I was between 10 and 20  but I don't remember it being all that cheery a time, so I thought that having some actors who had been in movies back then, going back in time and actually being a movie within a movie, I thought that all that was part of the comic nightmare of it. AP: What were the most awesome things about the '80s? Cusack: There was great music, great art, great literature, great films. Those are usually some of the things that I like. AP: Were you more Motley Crue or The Cure? Cusack: I was more of the Clash, Fishbone, The Jam. AP: You did not mention fashion as one of the awesome things about the '80s. Cusack: I think that would have to fall under the terrifying things of the '80s. The legwarmers, the scrunchies, the mullets, the primary colors. The list goes on and on. And I have a wide variety of fashion horror shows myself that's available on cable, seemingly all the time. - --from an interview by Sandy Cohen at http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100326/ap_en_mo/us_film_q_a_john_cusack ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 27 Mar 2010 13:11:44 -0700 (PDT) From: Gil Ray Subject: Re: [loud-fans] Elastica I have no idea as to what they are up to, but I liked them, also.

I might accept Shampoo > Elastica > Echobelly, but I don't really think any of the other bands mentioned play nearly fast enough for the discussion. (Sleeper and Scarlet were excellent at quite different things, to my mind.) Might suggest Kenickie > Shampoo, though...

Agreed. I was looking through my db at just 1995, where I have _At the Club_ as 1996... Bellatrix came along later with a different variation on the style. And bis, and Life Without Buildings. ------------------------------ End of loud-fans-digest V9 #61 ******************************
