It took a while to find people on the same wavelength as us and with the same aspirations, however by July 2016 we finally formed a 5 piece and began gigging. They will cost you the reasonable £1.50 not including p&p. The soft blurred vocals from Emily and Bella remind me a lot of bands like Wolf Alice, Fat White Family, and INHEAVEN. We’re also waiting to hear back from a few festivals who are fairly local which would be really fun to play at, and really just growing our fan base. The band began to combine Indian classical music and instrumentation with 1960s pop and rock.. Emily: Elephant Bay is a 5 piece alternative rock band based in Lancashire. This is the first E,P.

History. A website for the stoner / doom / psychadelic rock band Elephant Tree. Come to any gig and chat to the band and we'll stick one of these bad boys onto your shirt... promise not to prick you! The band began to combine Indian classical music and instrumentation with 1960s pop and rock.. Shortly after discovering they all shared the same taste in music, they formed Elephant Gym, solidifying their shared affinity for all varieties of math- and post-rock. I think our biggest struggle as a band is finding the right venues to play at in the right area since there is so little around where we live. What venue/ festival is the dream to headline? We place importance on not overthinking our lyrics or making them sound pretentious and like we’re trying too hard to say something influential or inspiring. I joined a couple of months ago after leaving my prior band Fret:64, a friend introduced me saying they were looking for a bassist and it’s been good times since then. Emily: I’d say I’m quite an emotional person so most of my lyrics are driven by a particular emotion. We formed through college and friends and through looking for the best musical teens in the ribble valley. John: Our plans for the future are really just to record our first album, we have a few  songs down but we still have a lot of work to do. Elephant Jane proudly produce their second E.P.

We really want to be that band writing that song people can’t stop listening to which is why we wanted to pursue careers in music. In terms of the name, it came about during a game of scrabble….

I think it’s important, when you’re in a band, to follow other bands that you can relate to and learn from, which is exactly what we’ve done. Rock N Roll 50s to Today's Hits. We’re based in the Ribble Valley, Clitheroe to be specific, which unfortunately doesn’t have the most exciting music scene; a few pubs and one larger venue (which doesn’t really cater for up and coming bands).
