The San Francisco based ELLIOT SCHNEIDER BAND (with special guest Rob Beckinsale, who previously toured -and played the Isle Of Wight Festival with IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY) started their first U.K tour with a headlining gig at top London venue The 12 Bar Club in Denmark Street last night and reportedly blew the place apart!
On Thursday 17th, Friday 18th October and 19th October they're playing in Portsmouth - and entry to all the gigs is FREE!
Previously from New York, ELLIOT SCHNEIDER AND THE PITTS did their first gig at the legendary CBGB’s club where Patti Smith, Talking Heads, Blondie and Television also played their first gigs. When Elliot moved from New York to San Francisco he formed The Banned, whose album "Surreal Survivor reached number 1 on Amazon’s Hot New Releases mp3 chart.
Elliot’s new album "If Looks Could Kill, I'd Wear Mirror Sunglasses" has been played on more than 100 radio stations in the U.S.A. and the U.K, including London, Liverpool, Wales and Scotland and was named one of the top CDs of 2012 by the San Francisco station, Chestnut Radio.

"It sounds really good in the car driving around L/A. - sounds like a psychedelic early Elvis Costello from San Francisco mixed with a New York City underground band.”
Dave Stewart (Eurythmics etc.)
"'Blunderbuss' by Jack White is my second favorite album after Elliot Schneider's ‘If Looks Could Kill, I'd Wear Mirror Sunglasses’
