Oh man, where do I even start? I love this band to pieces so this might sound a bit biased but here goes nothing. Fresno, Ca. based Elmo Marconi formed in the summer of 2007, started up by bassist Colby Tibbet (formally in Tree Wizard) and guitarisst Arthur Bueno (formally in Winter Soldier) . Bonding over their love of bands like Cap N' Jazz and other similiar music tastes they started jamming and making music that would later turn into a full band. Enlisting Sahab Hobob as their vocalist, Rico Rodriguez on drums, and Mike Adame on keyboard they would release "The Number 8" ep later that year. After a few lineup changes Jesse Kennedy was added as their permanent drummer and Mike Adame taking the reigns as lead vocalist after the departure of Sahab Hobob They would go on to release "I Don't Want To Be Serious Right Now, Lets Go Watch Some Ghost Movies" in mid 2008 and their full length "Puppies And Other Cute Shit" in early 2009. Playing house shows and venues relentlessly since the beginning they aquired a rapid following around not only Fresno, but places like Sacramento and Oakland as well. Drawing from their influences such as Don Caballero, Cap'n Jazz, Street Smart Cyclist(to name a few) they put together their own unique style of indie/jazz punk full of intricate hand-tapping guitars, crisp, groovy bass lines, insane drum fills...............as you can tell I can go on and on. Definetely one of the best bands to come out of our area.
