The Greatest Rock Band I’ve Ever Been In Is Getting Back Together

NOTE: I think I’ve really only been in one rock band since turning 18 so this is a relatively non controversial statement. But I am really proud of the work I did with Ela. For the majority of the Ela run we were a trio with Peter Leggett on drums, me on bass and leader/writer/heartbeat Bill Caperton on guitar and vocals. It was a rewarding run with Ela but my loyalty was always with Heiruspecs. Heiruspecs was my passion and it was something I felt uniquely qualified to guide whereas I felt like a very important but ultimately replaceable part of the Ela stew. But, that doesn’t take away from the fact that I feel the music we made was really special. The album “Stapled to Air” is an amazing document of the time we spent together as a band. Although we recently played one Ela song with Big Trouble, we are going to go full on reunion on October 28 at The White Squirrel. Rob Skoro is opening and he’s definitely the fifth member of Ela (the fourth member of Ela is Knol Tate who engineered our first record and then joined the band for our second effort). 2003 is back and it’s spectacular baby.

Bill made two flyers so I’m posting them both. And look how cute I am in flyer number one. What a great chapter in my life.
