Why this name?
Well, we wee origionaly named Love Bomb however due to legal reasons (another band had it first)we had to re name our selves. Basicly we sat around for a few hours thinking up stuff and looking through dictionarys and all that when Derek came across a song title from The Violet Burning album plastic and elastic and it just fit. That was it, it fit.
Do you play live?
We love to play live and do so as often as we can. Most of our gigs are in Vancouver and Langley BC, but we do plan to tour abroad. If any one would like to know how to bring us to their town just email us at booking@lovebomb.ca
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I think it has made a vast variety of music available to people who might have never had access to it before. I think it makes it a lot easyer for a new band to market themselves as well. It used to be the only way anyone was going to hear your band was by relentless touring and living on "KD". Now we can have regular day jobs, gig on weekends and have fans world wide all at the same time.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Absolutely! Our goal is to do music full time and not need day jobs.
Band History:
The three original members of She Says Electric "formerly Love Bomb"(Derek, Ken and Connie) were the main part of the original line up of heatherclarkband, they recorded four albums ,one of which, "Selah", sold well over ten thousand copies. When hcb ended in December of 2000, four members (Connie, Ken, Derek and Vern) continued to play and write music together and formed officaly in July 2001. Having played together in various projects during the previous ten years, these musicians began to develop a time-evolved chemistry. In December 2001, the band recorded their 5 song EP,"Limited Radio Release", and established regular air-play on 98.3 CIFM, the local Kamloops radio station.
Despite their growing momentum, during the spring of 2002, Vern announced that he was retiring from the band, leaving the band with a vacancy in the bass department. Consequently, they felt it necessary to relocate in order to replace him.
In June 2002, She Says Electric moved permanently to Surrey, BC. Not long after they arrived they were pleased to have Matt, a talented bassist with a dynamic and energetic style, join the team. With renewed vigor and a more aggressive sound, the band has continued to nurture their new identity, crafting songs, playing hard and recording thier work as they go.

Your influences?
She Says Electric is currently mixing their debut CD "Remember Me". This diverse album is a scrapbook of their spiritual and emotional experiences as musicians, as artists, and as individuals. Although She Says Electric does not sound like any other band, they are reminiscent of The Cranberries, U2, Pink Floyd, and The Beatles all rolled into one, with an emphasis on intense emotional drive.
Favorite spot?
The lower mainland of British Columbia, Canada.

Anything else...?
I apoligize for not having any great recordings to offer you at this time, as The "Limited Radio Release" recordings we have were recorded by a good friend in Kamloops over a two day period on a 16 track reel to reel "only 12 worked" and the others are a sneak peek of songs we are working on for the new album. They are neither a final mix nor are they mastered.
