Elisa Randazzo - Colors
'Colors' is taken from the upcoming Elisa Randazzo's debut solo full-length "Bruises and Butterflies," out on May 18th via Drag City.

Elisa Randazzo is an American musician, songwriter and clothing designer (‘Dusty of California’ and ‘Cameo’) based in California. Her 2010 release "Bruises & Butterflies" was born out of a series of late night writing and recording sessions with guitarist Aaron Robinson.  During a trip to New York in 2007, Randazzo forged a friendship and musical partnership with one of her icons, legendary 1970s British folk singer Bridget St John.  Two songs on this release are a result of their collaboration.

She juggled a range of musical projects, including her own band Fairchild with her then husband Josh Schwartz (ex. Beachwood Sparks, now Painted Hills) and Randazzo Robinson with Aaron Robinson. Her work as a violinist and singer spans releases like UK’s Fierce Panda label and P.I.A.S. While living in Los Angeles, Randazzo met musician-artist Mayo Thompson (of The Red Krayola), she played violin and sang with Red Krayola, joining the band in 1996, and touring the United States, Japan and Austria. She appeared on four Red Krayola LPs (Drag City), including "Sighs Trapped By Liars," which she recorded and co-sang in 2007.

Elisa was born in New York to well-known 1960s famous songwriters, Victoria Pike and Teddy Randazzo (who wrote hit pop songs such as 'Goin’ Out of My Head,' 'It’s Gonna Take a Miracle' and 'Hurt So Bad' and more).  Her Mom was also a prolific songwriter, writing psychedelic classics such as The Third Bardot's, 'I’m Five Years Ahead Of My Time,' (Nuggets collection).
