   About Elvis is Dead [have split up]

OH YEAH!!!

"Some bands claim to be rock'n'roll, but Elvis is Dead truly are."

"Like the Darkness, but for people who actually like metal."

Elvis is Dead started from the ashes of an earlier project of original founding members Kyle & JD. After a few early shake ups, the line up was settled. Cid was recruited on bass. Vocals were not so easy - Si was drafted in 2 days before 1st rehearsal. Last but not least Rob arived on drums to fill the 5th spot. Unfortunately, Kyle decided to leave the band in early 2006, and the band continued as a four piece for a while, with Si picking up the guitar. Later in the year, Mr Sean Van Rock was recruited on guitar, once again completing the lineup.

Elvis is Dead CDs and DVDs - NOW AVAILABLE!!!

Elvis is Dead's new CD single can be yours for only £2 and includes the tracks "I Don't Wanna See You" and "You Little Tramp".

"A gritty rock stomp, well excecuted songwriting." purerawk.co.uk

"Elvis is Dead is over the top, greasy rock and roll with more sleaze than a Spanish waiter in a strip club." punkscene.co.uk

For £5 you can take home the action which took place on Elvis is Dead's first trip to Nottingham, at the Junktion 7 battle of the bands. With running time approx 30 mins the DVD includes performances of "I Don't Wanna See You", "First in Line", "Parasite", "You Little Tramp", "Myself in You" and "Your Control."

Press Reviews of Elvis is Dead at Junktion 7 - 05/07/06

"Finally to end this first heat we have some glam rock n roll from Derby's Elvis is Dead. They kicked straight in with their fast and powerful riffs and from the start they had a mass of umph to their sound which the others seemed to lack. The powerful riffs were complemented perfectly by the clear and powerful vocal and as the drums smashed down this band were showing some real togetherness with a very tight performance. They had a good dynamic and build their tunes well, kicking in and out at just the right times to build atmosphere and emotion in their sound. They let the music do the talking with their catchy and powerful glam rock n roll and as the set progressed the crowd grew and by the end they had a full room clapping along."

Saggy Pants - Nottingham based music magazine.

"All kinds of rock n roll thrown into a big melting pot with the tiny spice of heavy metal! I'd say they're verging onto hard rock territory being able to draw in their various different influences that formulate well, sounding solid and transcribe successfully into their live set. Particularly the bass player, who looks totally wacky onstage, there's a good interaction/reaction between the band members and the crowd. In every way imaginable they put on a fantastic show with top songs like You Little Tramp. Overall scoring some big points manage to scoop the victory to progress through to the next heat."

Sandman Magazine - The North's monthly music magazine.

"First in Line" live at Junktion 7 - 05/07/06

BABY I'LL BE FIRST IN LINE

Elvis is Dead are currently without a manager. Since only the best is good enough, we are looking for the legendary "Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart to fill the position. Jimmy, if you're out there, get in touch - we need you!

Aug 3 2008 9:36 PM

G'day, I hope you are well?

Mantus have 3 gigs in Derby this month. First up is an all-day benefit gig for the S.O.P.H.I.E cause on Saturday 9th Aug. All proceeds on the night will go directly to the charity. We'll be onstage at 7.30pm but the gig starts at 3pm so it's well worth arriving earlier.



Next up we'll be playing in the final of the battle of the bands event held at The Royal on Saturday 16th Aug, along with Elmo must die, Dark abyss, With silent eyes and 2 more bands tbc. We went through on the judges vote in our heat so please show your support. It's totally free too!

Finally we'll be playing with our buddies Razorwire on 27th Aug, again at The Victoria Inn. Their 3rd album has received great reviews (8/10 Metal Hammer : KKKK Kerrang!) and it's about time they caused a stir in Derby. Also with us are Alaizabel cray (fresh from supporting The Berzerker) and Ashes of empires.



As usual you can pick up a copy of our 7-track ep for free at any of these gigs.

Cheers and see you there!
