The band is that plays E.R. originals live is called Band Of Musicians. Me on bass and vocals, Tyler Shusterman on guitar, Aaron Douglas on drums, and Dan Sarna on trumpet. On recordings, there's no telling who you'll hear play what. It would take a ton of time to track down pictures of everyone on the recordings, but... E.R. looks like this:
Tyler looks like this:
Aaron looks like this:
Dan looks like this:
A bunch of newts on a pile of submerged branches looks like this:

HERE'S HOW THIS WORKS: The Elliot Racine studio recordings are just under my given name, Elliot Racine. Band Of Musicians is the band that plays the Elliot Racine music live. It's called that because it bugs me when bands are called things like "the Elliot Racine Band" (but please don't get offended if your band is called something like that, it's just my meaningless little opinion).

Here are some third-party sells:
"Sick. Very unique. Funky. I like the rad beats and the voice!"
-A cute girl that I wanted an excuse to talk to
"Very changeable and eclectic. I wouldn't know what genre to put it in".
-A dude with a cool dog in the park

And here's a short, descriptive, slightly humorous bio-thingy:
The one thing to expect when listening to an Elliot Racine album is that you can't expect what you'll hear next. Although his primary instrument is the bass, you are likely to find musical instruments and ideas from every corner of the globe-some maybe familiar, some maybe not so familiar-coming at you from the most unlikely angles. Catch Elliot live with Band Of Musicians, and see it all translated into the language of an energetic and sometimes strange-costume-wearing four-piece band. Band Of Musicians has been altering perceptions and toying with emotions since 2006 at venues such as the Boom Boom Room, Grant & Green, Retox Lounge, Hotel Utah Saloon, The Knockout, Beale Street, Cafe Revolution, Socha, Cafe Velo Rouge, Blondie's, Ireland's 32, Virgin Megastore, The Brainwash, Mama Art Cafe, and Art Salon in San Francisco, CA, Starry Plough in Berkeley and Prism in Oakland, CA, Johnny V's and Bamboo Lounge in San Jose, CA, Stanford Campus, Jungle Digital, Fanny and Alexanders, Printers Café, Café Bettola in Palo Alto, The Red Rocks in Mountain View, CA, and Ash Street Saloon in Portland, OR.
