About Me
"Life Brings Luck"
Ice-skating, ghosts, weeks and weeks of music making, ambition and
huge mammals along with a trip to Iceland to record their debut album
at the ever so beautiful Swimming Pool Studio are some of the things
that make up Hello Elephant and puts them in the top drawer as one of
France biggest secret. A band beginning their musical journey to
become something else, something new, something to be enjoyed alone or
with good friends.
Hello Elephant, who play their own kind of haunted folk rock or music
you could even call Gothic Folk with a twist, formed two years ago by
Loriana Benatov (Singer and things that make rattling noises) and
Adrien Regard (guitar and singer). As soon as they met they formed a
striking writing partnership and with in two weeks most of the song of
their debut had been born. Soon they found their songs in a need for a
beat and in Jean-Marie Virginie (or just J.M.) they found the perfect
drummer with lot of experience and humor to match. Few months later
Skarpi Runólfsson became their bass player, and the line-up was
perfected.
Hello Elephants debut will be released soon in Iceland but for the
time being those who are interested in listening or buying the album
