About Me

eltOnbOng is band, but sometimes just a guy with some keybaords who looks like he might be there to fix the plumbing. .Part jazz, part Butthole Surfers. All signs of some kind of mental health challenge. Known to play one song for thirty minutes or thirty songs in one set, its really a roll of the dice! Other skilled musicians have been known to make it out to add to the tunes, and they are always appreciated more than they will ever know, mainly Colin bOng who comes out whenever his three jobs, two dogs and University courses allow. MUCH love as well to Fireman,Elise and Newton who have classed up the bOng over time. Oh ya, Mike answers to Elton, but has refrained from a legal name change. Mucho love to Fireman, elise and Newton!!
