The Mansion
Presley is a three piece rock band from the Boston area. Drawing from influences all over the map, theyre best seen in the live setting. Presley does not go on stage with a set list and will often improvise whirling, loud and melodic sound-scapes during the live show, segueing from one song to another usually without notice to the audience. Presley has shared bills with bands from all different genres from rockabilly to grindcore.

Presley has three CD's out: a 6 track CD from 2001, a 12 track full length CD recorded with Steve Austin of Today is the Day fame, and the 2005 release Elizabeth. They will be recording their next full length CD in the summer of 2007 for release at the beginning of 2008.

Some review quotes from the Elizabeth EP (read the full reviews in the blog section): "The band has morphed into a spacy but tight improv / jam-rock band somewhere between Phish, Mogwai, Godspeed You Black Emperor! (the first album, at least), and Hawkwind, only with a bright and poppy center..."

"...as a purveyor of noisy landscapes and improvisational exploring, Presley remains a band of the highest order"

"If I were to classify them I'd say that they're a psych/stoner rock band that holds equal appeal for potheads, beer drinkers and hell raisers. Christian Campagna's heavily effected and often droning guitar lines are augmented by Aarne Victorine's melodic bass and Breaux Silcio's drumming, which ranges from subtle cymbal splashes to near blast beat pounding. To cop a line from their third and latest release, ***Elizabeth***, they're musicians with deep record collections who're "Stuck in fuckin' Providence with the Memphis blues again" somewhere between Dylan and ***Daydream Nation***, Husker Du and Hawkwind."

The newest record, "The Mansion" was recorded and mixed at Analog Divide with Tim Shea in 2007/2008. Mastered by Kramer in the fall of 2008. The record should be out some time in the winter. The Mansion is an 8 track full length album (the first since...the last one) which is again loosely based on a "concept". The album summons a darker mood than earlier releases, but still retains the melody present in older songs. The majority of the songs on The Mansion were culled from long improvised "jams" that were recorded, listened to and eventually put back together by the band to form songs, ending with the 13:00 journey "The Green Attic". ....This profile was edited with Thomas' myspace editor™ V2.5
