ELI - vox/guitar
MANY MANY OTHERS AND SOMETIMES NO ONE: bass/drums/lead guitar
Influences
The Wedding Present, The Television Personalities, The Kinks, Donovan, The Jam, Elvis Costello, Jilted John, The Clash, The Buzzcocks, The Who, Simon and Garfunkel, and, all together, I mean why not?, The Beatles.
Sometimes one guy, sometimes a whole band, Eli James is always a hook-oriented songwriting outfit that likes to hang out in your brain and nosh on gray matter for days at a time. Think Kinks + Elvis Costello + Donovan - the folky storyteller meets the acerbic wit meets the barre chord.
Brainchild of Eli James, the singer/songwriter you hear here, a resident of New York, native of Philadelphia, actor, writer, and part-time magazine model, Eli and the Indoor Boys are currently exercising their acoustic muscle - with agile yet still brawny pop tunes that always tell a good story.
Enjoy a bunch of other Eli stuff ('cause you know there's some hidden payoff in doing so) at Eli James on Myspace.

Could we maybe think that this comment was yellow, Like sunbeams reclining on your peaceful pillow; or, rather, imagine it was made of ribbons, that rustle around our feet as we're dance-spinning, or maybe it might be just feathers fast falling, through crisp new-moon air; it seems spring time is calling!
In appreciation of seasonal shifts and new e-friendship!
