Bio of your favorite BAND!! Elvis Wesley and the Pistol Whippers. A battle cry goes out. Who can save Rock N Roll? The one name that is there to answer the call. Elvis Wesley and the Pistol Whippers. The band formed back in the early 90s unofficially. Brothers Wesley (Elvis Wesley) and Jesse James have been playing together for years and thought they listened to very different music growing up, they learned that together they could make music to change the Rock-N-Roll world forever. The brothers like many bands have had many different names and line up changes through the years, but one thing stayed true. Lets make music to wake up the masses and show the world that Rock-N-Roll isnt dead, it just sucks right now. Through the music you can hear that these guys have spent day and night practicing their craft. Fronted by Wesley (Elvis Wesley) on the upright bass. An instrument played by many and only mastered by few. Wesley has found a way to take things that most have only dared dream of and make them come true on the bass. When on stage behind the bass Wes can appear to have 8 arms doing 10 different things all at once and deliver a rhythm and sound that is sure to astound and please all those in attendance. Brother Jesse James once pounded out metal with the best of them then found his way to straight hard rock n roll. Onstage Jesse is found jumping from his amp to the crowd, slamming into his brother and drummer, calling upon the crowds to sing onstage alongside the band and never missing a note of complex guitar signatures and timing. On C/D you want to start to scream and laugh as you hear the eclectic mix of lyrics to match rhythm and beats that could only be found in a band as creative as Elvis Wesley and the Pistol Whippers. Seeing them live will push you into a frenzy of joy and pleasure on a level so high it cant even be measured. The band has shared a stage a Flea, Kira and Mike Watt to name a few. They have played along side with Willy Waldman and Rob Wasserman and no matter who is in the crowd these guys seem to entertain. Be it at a small bar or the huge club its a treat to the ears and a sight for the eyes to see these guys rip, shread and Rock-N-Roll the night away. Les claypol of Primus has been quoted as saying about Elvis Wesley you should hire this guy, hes better than me to his band mates in the purple onion. Grammy nominated artist like Willy Waldman have come out on stage while EWPW is playing just to share the energy and join in and have stated after sharing the stage give it up, these guys are beyond rock There are not enough words to express how great these guys are. Once you have seen it you can never go back. Fuck all the other music you think you have come to know or love, this is simply the best that you will ever find. So listen, enjoy and as always, raise the horns and a glass for the best alcohol induced Rock-N-Roll that you have ever heard
