Line Up
Starting out with a debut EP recorded in her loft room in Exeter, Elise is bringing her Bedroom rock to the stage with a full band to orchestrate her ideas and soundscapes. Described by Shoegaze Bloog as 'straddling shoegaze and bedroom pop, a little melancholy and a little Euphoria'. Playing on stages all around the South West and getting airtime on local radio such as BBC Introducing and international such as DKFM, there's a lot of work going on behind the scenes for what started as a bedroom solo project.
