BLUE VALENTINES
Aileen Loy, Chudacek and Andru Davis of Blue Valentines
 Blue
Valentines first performed Tom Waits' "Blue Valentines" album
on February 14th, 2003 at The Echo Lounge, Atlanta, GA. The
idea of a Tom Waits tribute band came from several veterans
of both Atlanta's live music and theatre scenes.
Rallying around the amazing
voice of Aileen  Loy, Blue Valentines developed a reputation
as a hard-hitting, powerful act with a looseness and theatrical
sensitivity that they hoped would make Tom proud if he ever
found out they were trying to make money off his good name.
Through a bizarre sort of kismet/power of will/destiny,
the band is reconvening in Europe for a summer tour. May
16th at Alchemy, will mark the first performance of the band
in over a year, and the first performance of the band in
Europe.
