In the dimly lit pubs and musty, venues of underground Los Angeles, is a young singer/storyteller by the name of George Ellias. What the kids are calling folk now is a sub-genre called ‘freak folk’ with artists like Devendra Banhart and Joanna Newsom as the poster children; but we old folks know that when discussing folk and blues, names like Dylan, Guthrie, Baez, Waters, Williams and Leadbelly pop up. George Ellias fully and acutely embraces and pays homage through his art to the latter group mentioned. With nothing more than a guitar, harmonica and a voice as his band, Ellias gives us a peak into his life with all them no-good gals breakin’ his poor aching heart and how his bucket’s got a hole in it. Blending traditional folk, blues, country and psychedelia (as displayed in the dozy “Donna, Donna”), George Ellias’ raw undertaking on the world around him will leave anyone thinking they have just left Newport Festival. - Breann (loudvine.com)
Yo GEORGE ELLIASasaurus. I just found out that we're related...and as a special family only present we've made a new song for you called "End of Days" (start doing backflips now). It's an epic instrumental opus to the moment when our ancient Dino relatives saw a large fiery object plummeting towards them. Please come to our page, give it a listen and let us know if it makes you feel like something catastrophic is gonna happen. If the song upsets you too much we will be holding several s support groups (read: comcerts) in the near future. Check our page for locations, dates and times.

On Oct 3, a fantastic gathering occurred within a cafe-sized room canopied by trees. The Gypsy Camp is a long-visited place within El Escorpion Park in West Hills - long overdue to be utilized as a unique venue for live music.
It was the beginning of a new series of acoustic shows that bring bands out of bars and clubs, friends and musical enthusiasts out of the house on a saturday afternoon, and a unique and magical experience to everyone involved.
If this looks like a good time to you, please tell people about it, and join us for Gypsy Camp The Second on Saturday, Nov. 14. Prepare yourself with a cooler and blanket and an afternoon to enjoy some great music.
