ELEPHANT STONE: SATURDAY, OCTOBER 20, 2012 10:00:00 PM
Elephant Stone was formed in 2009 by sitarist/bassist Rishi Dhir. As one of the most highly sought out sitar players in the psychedelic music scene, he has recorded and toured with the Black Angels, Brian Jonestown Massacre, the Horrors, the Soundtrack of Our Lives, and many more. In 2009, Elephant Stone released their Polaris Music Prize-nominated debut, The Seven Seas. 2010/2011 saw the release of The Glass Box EP, a supporting slot on the Brian Jonestown Massacre's North American tour, multiple European/UK tours with sold-out dates in London and Berlin, and festival appearances at the Iceland Airwaves, Osheaga, and SXSW. This year will see the band release their sophomore, self-titled long-player and tour spreading their psychedelified-hindie-rock mantra.
"If Ian Brown ever wants to ditch his band and pick up a new Roses-esque outfit, he need to hire these guys. They play in that trippy neo-psych style of the kids in baggy bands from Manchester c.1989 - except that the barefooted lead singer switches between guitar and sitar in what Elephant Stone calls "hindie rock.") The effect is most pleasing in a Stone-Roses-meets-George-Harrison-in-his-Ravi-Shankar phase." - Alan Cross, Explore Music
