Missing Elf
well hello there fans off the elf and most welcome visitors. hope you enjoy the site, its not much i know but hey its a start. if you know our band then you'll know what we're all about but if not then i guess we should be introduced as a rock revolution. with 3 top class guitarists plus a nifty slap and pop bass artist we are able to provide crunching rock riffs combined with sweet harmonies and incredible solos. the aim? - to bring a new style to rocking out with a move away from the conventional, samey bands of this era.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
originally a few lads at school mucking around with guitars (Matt, Mark, Rob + a guy named Alex), Missing Elf has really taken off from there. Whilst searching for a drummer they found schoolmate Phil and the original band was formed. Alex unfortunately did not last much longer than the appointment of a drummer and '21st Chronicle' as they were then began making music. mark was roped into singing and many classic tunes were written such as 'Mangala Hari' and punk classic 'A Song About Skateboarding And Getting Dumped'. the later addition of lead guitarist Adam really tightened up the band and moved them away from general mucking around to serious song writing and a quick name change to the legend that is 'Missing Elf' sealed their fate. we have never looked back from there.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
we believe rock music is all about the live performances and were privileged to headline one of the stages at Guilfest this year - the 6th biggest music festival in the UK. keep music live!
Your musical influences
well each member of the band has a varying degree of influences from all over the rock spectrum, past and present (especially drummer Phil who gets bullied for his tastes). i think the artists that come through in our music though are the likes of Hendrix and AC/DC, yet also those of Marilyn Manson and Muse
Anything else?
rock on.
