Elvis Costello | Show, Sighting & DVD
Quick true story:
After the Colleen / Hawk and a Hacksaw show at Joe's Pub Tuesday (August 9th) night, I walked by CBGB to see if there was any exciting benefit action going on before ending up on Houston a few blocks west of Mercury Lounge. While deciding if I should continue my adventure to Bowery Ballrom to try and get in to Hot Snakes, Elvis Costello and a blonde woman walked by me. A few seconds later some guys asked if I saw Elvis. I said yes, and they proceeded to chase him down the street. I guess the woman was Diana Krall who, according to Gawker, Costello was probably shopping for just a few hours earlier.
Elvis Costello is playing Kaufmann Concert Hall @ the 92nd St. Y in NYC on September 28. Tickets are on sale.
Elvis recently released a DVD too.

He was actually at Mercury Lounge watching The Like perform that day...

The Like, if I remember correctly, are a band composed of the teenage daughters of several musicians (I see another Smoosh thread forthcoming; perhaps I shouldn't have mentioned that), including drummer Pete Thomas, who's played with Elvis for most of the last 28 years.
