Eli Ego & The Vanity Movement

About Me

Sex, Drugs, Rock"n Roll ????? Let me tell you a little about myself, i’m Eli, better known as Eli " The Body" Ego. Lead singer of STREET GANG ROMANCE, a Sydney based band. here Street Gang Romace are a glam rock, meets new-wave pop act with kickin’dance rock songs embracing melodic hooks & stylish musicianship. My influences in music are a different crossing of many styles artists & thier music. Heavily in love with the L.A glam movement of the 80’s( think...L.A Guns, Faster Pussycat), the glam movement of the 70’s ( think...Roxy Music, David Bowie) the disco era, Mowtown,country & most retro. 80’s pop seems to stick out the most in my regular listening(think Prince, Inxs, Queen). A huge soft spot for the likes of metal bands like Judas Preist to punk like Iggy Pop and so on and so, &.....I enjoy reding the works of Kerouac, Huxley, Hunter S Thompson, fine art & i don’t say no to drugs. I love L.A, Vegas, New York & home wherever that ends up being, now & forever. I’ll be exhibiting some of my "Vanity Movement" oil canvas paintings in the pics soon, plus playing some of my Vanity solo songs...
