Keep Shelly in Athens - Lazy Noon
|
Sarah P. is among the tiniest, sweetest persons I've met. Offstage. Onstage she captures the light in a way that makes her presence impressive and strong, her voice filling the space. A few hours before their concert in Thessaloniki, she sings for us outside the concert venue, while the band is playing inside. The singer exposed. The band hidden. The sound, recorded live in two parts thanks to our wonderful sound engineers, minimises the distance between them. The night before, RPR, the duo's mystery-man, told us how he came up with the name: looking for a play of words around the Athens neighbourhood where he grew up, he came across the Facebook group Keep Shelly in Seattle. He never found out who Shelly was and whether she left Seattle in the end, but the name stuck... A few months after the session, Sarah P. left Keep Shelly in Athens. This was to be their last concert together, and their last video... (L.C.) |
