Rock and Roll is alive in LA again and in no small parts the High Octane band Mad Temple is to thank for that. Though young, lead vox, Eli James, Andrew “Stone Hand” Benjamin who plays lead guitar, vox, Bryant Joel on rhythm guitar, Sal Flores on drums, and Mike Brownstone on bass, are full of TALENT, TRAINING, and HIGH OCTAINE ROCK N’ ROLL that they are ready to bring to the masses, using their well honed skills, charisma, and fan friendly rock vibes. They are the future of rock coming your way, right now! Now using everything they have learned, they are bringing that energy, and charisma to packed houses all around LA to their fans called TEMPLE HEADS to venues including; The Whiskey a GoGo, House of Blues, Club Vodka, The Roxy, BB Kings The Gig and about a dozen others and bringing their astronomical, floor pounding act to these clubs since the youthful age of 15 and 16, and packing these clubs to full capacity. In just a few short years, and still unable to sit at the bar after a long set, they just keep bringing their own Genre of Rock and Roll to these clubs. Using their musicality and magnetism, the crowds are lapping it up, making them one of the most demanded and respected acts in LA right now. This High Octane Rock band is just waiting to release their Mad Temple style of rock and roll on the rest of the country, and eventually the rest of the world. With their debut Cd out right now named Mad Temple California and doing well, and another in the works, they know the billowing skies above the Hollywood sign of LA are within reach. The last time that LA bred bands were kings of the LA nightclub scene was 20 years ago. Leading the pack back then where elite rock bands like Guns n’ Roses, Buck Cherry, Velvet Revolver, Stone Temple Pilots and others. Twenty years later the LA born and bred bands are reclaiming their spot on the pedestal and on top of it is Mad Temple, Out playing, energizing the locals, and bringing LA rock home where it should be. Mad Temple called the Temple heads are the group’s best spokeswomen for them, and they wear their love for the band on their body, in the form of T-shirts, and self made body art at shows and on the street. Mad Temple owns the pride in the fact that they are fan friendly. They know it is the fans who butters their bread, and the adoration is a two way street. For every fan that reaches out to them, the band members reach out to them, and tries not to leave any fan unrecognized or feeling left out. It is clear that the fans keep Mad Temple in check, and it is for the fans that they make sure that the quality of their shows, and music is always top notch. One listen to these guys from LA and you’ll be a fan too. As they gain a fan base in LA, they are also starting to garner attention from the LA based media. In the February/March 2008 issue of All Access Magazine are called one of the bands on the verge on success in the column Back Stage at My Space written by Christi. In it she says “Mad Temple has the ability to work as a team, which is what makes this an appealing band and a band that has a great shot at making it big sometime in the not so distance future.” she continues by saying, “They play great music that can take them from the LA club scene to arenas wherever they wish to play”. They have been seen in Rock City News as well; where one of the members of the famous groupies the Plastics declared that MAD TEMPLE was her favorite bands. These guys from LA had a dream; they are living it now, using their aggressive, HIGH OCTAINE genre of rock to bring the glory days of rock back to LA. If you have a chance to see them do it, it’s well worth the trip to see these guys perform, their well written and composed tunes for you, whether you’re an old school rocker or new school rocker, they reach out to all!
