Band/artist history
Mads Elvis started playing music in the summer of 1994, he rehearsed like hell and joined his first band a year after which was an Iron Maiden cover band who played in different clubs and a few festivals. Meanwhile Mads Elvis joined other bands with the hope of finding the right one, I guess, many of the bands were covers, such as -The Police, Primus, Allman Brothers, Joe Satriani and many more. Mads Elvis also played with bands just to gig, but he found that it was hard to live just by plaing guitar so he started singing, suddenly there were many more gigs to play :) In 1998 Mads Elvis went to England to study Guitar -there he met other musicians at the MI to play and to gig. Before Mads Elvis returned to Denmark he had played at places like Jazz Cafe and a lot of different schools. He also played in some of the other institutes in London, too bad he had to drop the Jimi Hendrix tribute band, he had growing -but that's life. Since the return of Mads Elvis he started producing many amature bands and experimenting with the use of a recording studio, he also taught playing guitar and was a very beloved teacher because of his friendly ways and will to motivate his students. Mads Elvis loves to travel and make short periods of living on the street by playing guitar and singing songs that people, mainly turists, would like to pay for. In the winter of 2001/2002 Mads Elvis joined a TV show and won 4month in a huge apartment with a built-in recording studio -to make a program about a band and its hunt to get a record deal. It was a reality program that instead of being a program about music became a program about the lead singer's extremely spoiled problems mostly with the second (female) guitarist, but also with his clothes and nails -and he wasn't even a good singer! Mads Elvis did of course not want to play with such amatures, got out of the band and out of the record deal with Universal Denmark. Now Mads Elvis is building a recording studio in his house, with reference to be able to make records, with his bands Popsex and Casette, Casette has already two Demo songs on Soundclick. Look out for Mads Elvis -he will rule the world!!! :)
