If All Els Failes
If All Els Failes is a band of high schoolers, but they are not a high school band. Not classically trained, not as refined as jazz musicians, IAEF does what they want when it comes to music. Blending genres, embarking on 20 minute jams, and ocasionally transcending into a dynamic wall of sound are all hobbies of the band. Tommy Carroll's versitile hard hitting drums are the pulse of the band while Joe Hamptons aggressive guitar is the soul. Becky Friedman's vocals gently rest atop the musical giant and Luke Brown brings the funk on bass.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
It's all about playing live. We gig at least twice a month with our busy school schedules. All over the Northern Suburbs of Chicago and beyond.
