Casey Neill & the Norway Rats, Lila Nelson
What:
Casey Neill & the Norway Rats fuse modern rock with punk, Americana, and Celtic styles. The Norway Rats are an assemblage of Portland’s finest musos whose shows alternate between desolate ballads and raucous rave-ups (see individual bios below). With a raspy voice, well crafted songs and a crack band, Casey Neill has carved out a widespread fan-base throughout the US, Canada, Japan, and Britain . A new Casey Neill CD “Brooklyn Bridge” was released May 1st 2007 on the indie label In Music We Trust. more on their site..
Lila Nelson, Audio-Biography
I write songs—agonize over them, delight in them, perform them, record them and am occasionally shy about that fact. I shouldn’t be, I know. It’s part of who I am. But I didn’t decide to do it. I mean, like kids do, I always made up songs. But at about 11 years old, after listening to Loudon Wainwright III‘s Attempted Mustache LP, I developed a nagging notion. “I could attempt this.” Not the mustache. But the songs. And I set out on my new path. At that point my parents should have intervened—should have given me the talk. However, they, being artists themselves, were quite encouraging and supportive. And nearly 20 years later… In other words, where fate meets poor planning (and don’t they always meet?) the seed of my career was born. More on her site…
