million / billion featured on KING OF QUEENS!!!BRAND NEW VIDEO FOR "RECIPROCATION" !! WATCH IT NOW!
Gavin Bellour (guitar, vocals), Brian Ulrich (drummer) and Yonatan Elkayam
(keys/bass, upright, harmonica…), first came together as LA based trio
million/billion in 2005. Their music is all embracing, their style eclectic.
“We like to think that the sound we created doesn’t really fit into a
particular genre or perhaps it does and we are just too ignorant to know it,
but in our universe we blend genres to create a style of our own … one with a
progressive nature but also a timeless and classic qualityâ€, says lead singer Bellour.
Their sound –combines punk-folk intensity, classic-rock hooks, pop
jangle, Western twang, jazz-tinged filigrees and soul grooves with ease. The
band’s unique formula has already made them a BMI Pick of the Month, earned
them opening spots for international music icon Beck and such acclaimed
artists as Ray Lamontagne, Shooter Jennings, Gomez, Keaton Simons and others;
garnered offers to share stages with Ben Lee, Supergrass and Joan Osborne;
and won them prestigious month-long residencies at L.A.’s Hotel Café and
Tangiers. Their inimitable songs have been heard on L.A.’s groundbreaking
Indie 103.1, KCRW’s Broadband program, KTLA Morning News and Continental
Airlines’ in-flight channel. Their debut album Ready.Fire.Aim, to be
released this October on Mercy Records, has already elicited a four-star
review from URB Magazine saying, “Million/Billion throws in cynical
folk-rock with country that lands a bull’s eye,†and calls their “rhythmical
acoustic guitar and raucous performance,†hard to pass up. Million/billion
is presently on a national tour and preparing for their digital October album
release. A physical release will happen early in 2007.
