Almost timeless

Blasting out from San Diego comes Nels, a singer-songwriter who takes rock and roll as seriously as Cleveland does.

She will be coming through the North Coast on June 2, touring the nation in support of her album Pas de Deux. Two weeks later, she will swing back through, hitting Ohio's capital city.

New artists, especially ones who are not yet well known, are often compared to other, better-known performers. That falls apart with Nels, who sounds like nobody but herself. The album is almost timeless; riffs from the early 1980s combine with a mid-'90s edginess to provide the sonic base for new-millennium lyrics.

The record starts off strong with "Sexual Revolution," a song she wrote with her former band, Acid Nine. The strength and passion don't let up from there, from the hard-edged pop of "Overrated" to the almost-schizophrenic "Angel.”

"C'Mon" is one of those perfect pop tracks that set toes to tapping whether they want to or not, an infectious ditty that would have worked any time in the last 25 years, and definitely works today.

Nels' first Ohio stop will be on June 2 at the Nickel, 4365 State Road in Cleveland. Cover is $5. For more information, call 216-661-1314.

On June 16, after swinging through Buffalo, N.Y. and looping back through a couple of gigs in Illinois, she will be at Wall Street Niteclub, 144 North Wall Street in Columbus. For cover and other information, call 614-464-2800.

More information about Nels can be found on her MySpace page, www.myspace.com/ nelsbeam, which also has four of her songs and a link to purchase the album on www.cdbaby.com. Of course, it would be far more fun to buy the CD after listening to her perform live.
