Steven Moss (drums) and Fil Grady (bass) came together in the summer of 2006 in San Antonio, Texas, to establish the foundation for a band. For several weeks, the two sweat real, actual bullets in Fil's garage - thereafter known as The Danger Room - contemplating the band's direction. For the guitarist position, they recruited Steven's friend Josh Mathis (guitar), who also took on singing duties (vocals). The band was officially formed, and the prophecy was coming to pass.
The chemistry became evident early on, and soon after it was all Three's Company and shit. (Except with like, three Jack Trippers.) Once an arsenal of songs was compiled, and after the trio found a name they could live with, the newly christened White Elefant began playing shows in the spring of 2007. Locations included venues known and unknown, from mainstays such as The Limelight and Sam's Burger Joint to popular watering holes like The Mix and Crabby Jack's. The very fabric of the universe was tearing apart.
And thus, with the passage of time (as such things go), a new Elefant joined the herd - talented skin-basher W.J. His origins and what the letters stand for, a total mystery. I'm guessing Wizard of Jericho, but I could be wrong.
