Elvis invades Oxford

Elvis and his posse took over Oxford, Mississippi for their two shows there this past weekend. The many out-of-town fans who travelled to see them tell of various Imposters cycling around, eating breakfast and generally being a notable presence in the tiny town. The show were as advertised on the tickets as rehearsals for recordings in local studios. Each evening Elvis and the Imposters did about 70 minutes of music (mostly new songs), took a break, and then did the same songs again.

Photos and accounts of the shows.

Comments

Just noticed this in the bio at the dormant 'official site':

In addition to a short tour of Italy and Portugal in the spring with Steve Nieve, there are also plans to return to the recording studio with Costello's band,'The Imposters', which also features Nieve, bassist, Davey Farragher and drummer, Pete Thomas. An album of new Costello compositions will be released in the Fall of 2004 by the Nashville-based “Lost Highway” imprint.

It also says that Il Sogno will be out this fall as well.
