Dubbed “Chew It Up, Spit It Out, Rock and Roll,” Cheers Elephant is a raw, rootsy, psychedelic pop rock quartet from Philadelphia, PA. Digging deep into three-part harmonies and arranging songs that’ll make your dad’s toe tap, your mom’s hip shake, and your sister’s heart throb. A style reminiscent of The Kinks, and combined with a sensibility of the modern age, the group’s signature sound bleeds with British flare, American gusto, and all under the umbrella of catchy pop rock.
Nominated as the best indie act in the tri state area of 2011 by Tri State Indie, Cheers is about to one-up themselves with their next LP Like Wind Blows Fire. An album already receiving critical acclaim from the likes of, former Talking Heads, David Bowie, and King Crimson member, Adrian Belew as “fucking brilliant”. Sharing the stage with such greats as Chubby Checker, DMC, The Go! Team, The Spinto Band, and Devo, Cheers Elephant impresses with a live show that feels like a cross between David Bryne, Animal of the Muppets, and far-out impulses equivalent to evangelicals speaking in tongue. Cheers Elephant is channeling something close to the devil, god, or cocaine.
Having toured the North East and Mid West exclusively, Cheers is now expanding everywhere East of the Continental Divide, including SXSW this spring and setting their sights on the West Coast and Europe shortly after.
With a friendship dating back to kindergarten and including two cousins, the group possesses chemistry akin to a well-oiled machine running at break-neck speed. So why not take a sip of Cheers Elephant? The buzz is good…
