About Me

"And after briefly dipping his toe in the waters of reason, the man with no brain retreats once more to frolic on insanity beach."
Hi all - I'm Elias, or Eli to my mates; I'm a muso by trade (destined to be poor but loving it all the same! I'd rather this than doing a well-paid job which I hate - been there, done that!). I sing, play keyboards & (when I get time) I'm working on my guitar "skills" (I use the term loosely!).
I'm the frontman in "threads" (we rock!), I also run my own recording studio & am a voice coach. I've played all over the country in various outfits, from the local pub with a covers outfit to the London Palladium with the P.J. Proby Experience (which was nice!) & have worked on & off as a session vocalist & producer for various songwriting teams & also as a producer/arranger for local acts but also alongside industry legends such as Simon Efemy (Tool, The Wildhearts) & Joe Gibb (Madonna, Catatonia, Leftfield). I'm also in a cover's band; Jukebox Heroes (the money earner!) - we gig across the Midlands, which is where I'm based. With all this on, no wonder I look like I've had no sleep, hehe!
I may look like a moody S.O.B. but I was born with a frown on my face - it's just what I look like (well, OK, I CAN smile sometimes... if you pay me to LOL)! I'm not as unapproachable as a lot of people would believe - I'm a fairly complex individual but manage to keep most of that under wraps as it's far too tedious to go into; but overall I'm a happy-go-lucky scamp with a twisted sense of humour & a penchant for mischief! Once you get to know me (I'm sure my friends would agree) you'll see that I'm fairly level-headed & will do all I can to help the people I love have a bump-free ride through life. However, get me cider-pissed & you'll see a whole different kettle of fish! (There's video footage floating around somewhere...) LOL
Anyhoo - that's enough about me for now. Please check out my band & if you like what you hear, feel free to add us to your friends list! :o) Look forward to hearing from you!

Get Your Cyborg Name



My Interests

Music, photography, art, cooking, comedy - although the 1st of these takes up 90% of my day.

I'd like to meet:

Mike Patton - the man is a genius! Cerys Matthews (CERYS!!!) Fairuza Balk - those EYES....! Richard Branson. Preferably where he banks, LOL! Rula Lenska. Just because. And it would piss Givvi off if I met her first :o) Cleo Rocos!!!!!!!! Fellow musos/producers/singers - all creative types really! Also, I have recently started the largely frivolous & relatively pointless exercise of collecting as many friends on MySpace as I can who share my name. All Eli's, Elias's, Elijah's etc. welcome (yes, EVEN those girls who don't know how to spell "Ellie" LOL). I admit this must sound a tad odd, but I just think it's funny. Plus, it's as good a way of meeting new people as any other... ;o)Please feel free to drop by anytime & comment - however... please do not send me anything that starts with "OMG this is so funny" as you can guarantee I'll already have received (and denied/ignored) it 20 times, I don't really care who's been looking at my profile & do not require tracking software - to the one person who IS stalking me, I know who you are & believe me when I say this - it ain't gonna happen, luv. I also don't particularly like to receive comments featuring semi naked (wo)men, no offence to those who do, it's just not my style. Cheers!

Music:

Pretty much anything & everything - my main love is rockier music but it doesn't matter what genre a tune is in, if it has something about it that grabs my attention I'll listen to it. Hence the mix of influences that go into "threads" - although Jay stops me from going off on one! LOL! I like to think I return the favour.....Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, Manic Street Preachers, Nirvana, Jackdaw 4, Silverginger 5, Incubus, Foo Fighters, Maroon 5, Catatonia, Duran Duran, Slade, The Kinks, The Turtles, Orson, Alic In Chains, Soundgarden, Chris Cornell (GREASY voice - love it!),Jellyfish, The Fratellis, Squirrel Nut Zippers... I could go on but can't be arsed LOL

Movies:

Memento, Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind (And?!?), Private Parts, Things to do in Denver when you’re Dead, They Live, Soylent Green, The Omen, Electra, Drop Dead Fred, Cheech & Chong (Up In Smoke, The Next movie, Still Smokin', Nice Dreams, The Corsican Brothers etc...) ..
Get this video and more at MySpace.com Also worth checking out is the OTHER side to the global warming debate, which is very rapidly resembling a religious witch hunt.... The Great Global Warming Swindle

Television:

League Of Gentlemen, Spaced, The Office, The Smoking Room, Filthy Rich & Catflap, Desperate Housewives, Big Brother (yeah I know, I know!), Chorlton and The Wheelies, Absolutely, Fist Of Fun, Kids in The Hall, Little Miss Jocelyn .. width="425" height="350" .... .. width="425" height="350" ....
