ELVIS DELUXE - Stoner Rock/Psychedelic/Garage

In 2002 four long-time friends who had been involved in different bands (mostly HC/post HC/rock stuff like Ahimsa, Coalition, Afraid of That Day) started to jam together playing what they had a great affection for their entire lives: ‘70s-influenced stoner rock.

In 2003 they recorded a demo which turned out to be pretty popular among the slowly growing breed of their fans. Soon they became one of... the most active Warsaw bands, crossing all the genres and being present at different types of shows from punk rock to rock’n’roll to hardcore and rocking the nights out like crazy. Every once in a while they hit the road to gig Poland, Lithuania, Germany, ending up in some Czech clubs, making a nice soundtrack to bar fights there.
 
The world rolled on, the boys played more gigs (sharing the stage with, among others, Karma to Burn, Jucifer or Parkway Drive) and finally there came the time to reveal what was going on in their heads. On “Favourite State of Mind” the sound is full of space, stylish and the non-obvious guitars are accompanied by multi-layered vocals.   Elvis Deluxe applies a strong rock’n’roll punch to your jaw that will make you hear colours and see the divine beauty of their music.

The dudes have charisma and have the skills and even though they’re taking it easy, they take it seriously. The years of long going friendship and jamming together made them only tighter and hungrier for good shows and the road adventures. They will roll slow and if you stand on their way... well, you can be sure to roll with them... (as compiled on the bands website)
