His keen observation falls between tearful humour and black romance. His songs immerse the grittier side of life; depicting scenes of smoke filled rooms and drug fuelled nights. His music paves the way with slapping grooves and roots overtones. His theatrical storytelling has likened him to David Bowie, Tom Waits and The Eels. http://www.myspace.com/elderroche 4) Elder is also the previous name of Ancestors, a five-piece psychedelic doom metal ensemble from Los Angeles. Ancestors transmogrifies the epic nature of seventies psychedelic and progressive music into a form that also incorporates vintage, doom and drone metal. http://www.myspace.com/elderofdoom 5) Elder was a dark Christian hard rock band that was on Bulletproof Music and Liquid Disc Records. It was made up of former members of the short-lived Four Living Creatures who were on Frozen Rope Records. "Elder gigs in Tidewater, VA were notorious for their evangelistic twist. It was like going to punk-goth-rock tent revival. Their first CD, Used To Be Adorable, was "funk 'n' punk" goth rock and Middle Eastern vibes with skilled intensity and scorching messages..." They broke up in the late nineties and the core member of FLC and Elder started a new project named Fell Desire. http://www.graydot.com/support/eldx.html http://cdbaby.com/cd/felldesire Read more on Last.fm.
