Elephantbear - (Plattsburgh, New York)
Rock music - http://www.elephantbear.com/
The band, fronted by the promising young songwriter and guitarist Mike Pedersen, has already won comparisons to artists like Snow Patrol, Ben Lee, and the Foo Fighters because of their smartly written, deftly executed, and highly original brand of rock. Sharing the songwriting duties with Pedersen are his longtime friend and collaborator, the multi-talented musician extraordinaire Tim Collins and bassist George Facteau. Collins, who plays drums for Elephantbear, grew up playing and writing music with Pedersen in their hometown of Plattsburgh, N.Y. and is also a noted jazz vibraphonist.
The band members draw on their own diverse individual influences to create a pop-rock sound that seamlessly incorporates elements of funk, punk, classic rock, jam rock, and jazz into one unique and vibrant groove.

I absolutely fell in love with this band. I had no idea who they were until I heard about a new website for our town called plattsburghpipeline.com and listened to the radio. Neat name, catchy too! The radio is the coolest of cool ideas.

Ghetto Barbie is a very cool song. I really like this band and probably wouldn't have if it wasn't for the coolest radio station in Plattsburgh. I hope elephantbear plays a lot around Plattsburgh this summer. Are they going to be at Backwoods Pondfest? I hope that they will be. I like Hello control too, Guess what? Hello Control and Elephantbear are playing May 3rd at Olive Ridley's. You know I will be there! I hope I can get my boyfriend to go!
