ELROY is: Jesse LaMonaca (vocals and guitar) Keith Wiener (guitar) Joe Bates (bass) Tim Agushi (drums) Rapidly gaining attention in and around New York City, ELROY combines energetic riffs, strong rhythms and beautiful melodies to create their own brand of alternative rock music. THE ROAD AHEAD... ELROY has just released their second EP,"The Whole Day", recorded at Avatar Studios in NYC. The response has been overwhelmingly positive, including a stellar review from www.leakedalbums.com: "Elroy's second EP from the Avatar studio is here and despite being a little unknown band outside their home of New York they will soon be filling our radio waves in the same way as fellow New Yorkers The Strokes and Scissor Sistors have done. Not as stylish, not as relevant and lacking the retro cool. But thank the Lord our God for that. Their angst ridden alternative rock is easy on the earlobes and is bound to have major labels tripping over themselves to sign them..." The buzz is growing and ELROY is heading back into the studio to record in August 2004. Check out www.elroytheband for details as well as ELROY news and upcoming shows. IT'S ALL IN THE PAST... ELROY emerged in late 2001, although the band's roots can be traced back a year further, when Keith and Jesse met through mutual friends at a beach house on the Jersey shore and soon began playing acoustic shows around NY and NJ. Later that year, after a chance meeting between Jesse and Tim, the three boys began writing and working on becoming a band. They placed an ad in the Village Voice looking for a bass player, and after three auditions, they discovered Joe and the lineup was complete. ELROY hit the stage in March 2002 and several months later recorded their first 4 track EP. They have since played numerous shows around NY and NJ at venues such as The Bitter End, Continental, Lion's Den, Arlene Grocery, ACME Underground, Kenny's Castaways and Hoboken's Whiskey Bar. The band's catchy, emotive songs and strong live performances have resulted in a loyal and enthusuastic following, and were rewarded with a first place finish in the July 2002 Battle Of The Bands competition at Hoboken's Whiskey Bar. ELROY wishes to thank everyone that continually gives them love and support, and everyone that they have had the pleasure of sharing their music with.
