Doors: 9PM / Show: 10PM / 21+ELEPHANT STONEWith a remarkable journey spanning over a decade, Elephant Stone has established itself as a vanguard in the psych-pop universe. Under the inspired leadership of Rishi Dhir, the band has ceaselessly pushed the boundaries of musical storytelling. Fueled by Dhirs initial forays into music and elevated by his virtuosity on the sitar, Elephant Stones compositions transcend mere melodies; they serve as profound meditations on loss, rebirth, and existential wonder.The band first caught the publics imagination with their 2009 debut album, The Seven Seas, a deeply introspective work reflecting Dhirs spiritual sojourns in India. This artistic journey only gained momentum, with subsequent albums highlighting the bands ever-evolving sound. Their 2013 self-titled release was a tour de force of psychedelic rock, while 2016s Ship of Fools swayed audiences with its pulsating synth rhythms.With a keen sense for narrative, Elephant Stone has consistently tackled poignant themes. Hollow cast a stark, haunting gaze upon a planet on the brink of collapse, while 2022s Le Voyage de M. Lonely dans la Lune provided an intimate, French-language homage to their hometown of Montreal, capturing the pervasive solitude engendered by the pandemic.Set forrelease in 2024, Back Into the Dream teases a fantastical voyage, promising a tapestry of ethereal dreamscapes and introspective quests that bridge the waking and dreaming worlds.Praise from international critics and collaborations with industry giants such as Beck and The Brian Jonestown Massacre have affirmed Elephant Stones standing as a unique powerhouse in musical creativity and emotional depth. Echoing this sentiment, Dhir insightfully remarks, As long as theres Rishi, theres Elephant Stone. Embark on an enthralling journey with them, where celestial visions and grounded realities converge in a captivating harmony.
