Biography

Bigelf is a psychedelic/glam-tinged hard rock outfit from Los Angeles, California formed in 1991 by founding members Damon Fox and Richard Anton. They initially gained a large underground following. Bigelf's original line-up included Damon Fox (vocals/keyboards/guitar), A.H.M. Butler-Jones (vocals/guitar), Richard Anton (vocals/bass) and Thom Sullivan (drums).

The quartet released the EP "Closer To Doom" in 1995 co-produced by Sylvia Massy. "Closer To Doom" established them as founding fathers of the psychedelic doom movement that spawned the L.A. stoner-rock scene. The first line-up change came when Steve Frothingham replaced Sullivan in late '95; soon afterward founding member Richard Anton would exit the band.

Continuing on as a three-piece, they recorded "Money Machine" in 1997. Record Heaven would eventually release it in the summer of 2000. This led the Elves to tour Scandinavia where they would become a quartet again with addition of Finnish bass player Duffy Snowhill. In 2001, Finnish guitarist Ace Mark would also join the ranks replacing Butler-Jones. Now with a solid formation and regaining focus Bigelf recorded "Hex" and signed with Warner Music Sweden in 2002. The band attained cult status overseas, most notably in Northern Europe and Scandinavia, the homeland of Mark and Snowhill.

August 2008 saw Bigelf release "Cheat The Gallows", the band's debut release for Linda Perry's Custard Records. It includes the lead single "Money, It's Pure Evil". ^[4]
