The Scotland Yard Gospel Choir
 
The Scotland Yard Gospel Choir released their first full-length album, "I Bet You Say That to All the Boys" in fall of 2003. The band consists of four members: Elia, Ellen, Matt and Sam. The group achieved success with their last pop-rock single, "Jeannie That Cries," and received airplay on radio stations such as WXRT Chicago ('Local Anesthetic' and 'Sound Opinions') and WLUW Chicago ('848'). The Scotland Yard Gospel Choir are scheduled to start touring in Summer 2004 to support their first album. They expect to hit cities in the U.S., along with a few dates in England.

Greg Kot from The Chicago Tribune Writes:
Favorite Chicago albums of 2003

The Scotland Yard Gospel Choir, "I Bet You Say That to All the Boys" (Fashion Brigade Recordings): The Scotland Yard Gospel Choir makes no attempt to disguise its adoration for wispy chamber-pop avatars Belle and Sebastian, right down to bookish couplets that rhyme "cuticles" with "pharmaceuticals." But that doesn't diminish the plaintive beauty of the group's unfailingly melodic, unabashedly compassionate orchestral-pop songs.
