My Elvis Blackout

My Elvis Blackout are officially the Best Rock Band in Cornwall as voted by the great British public for two years running in the Cornish Live Music Awards 2007 and 2008."Like The Subways giving Shane MacGowan a Chinese burn."- NME
."Spectacular.[MEB] continue in the grand tradition of The Fall, Sonic Youth, Can or any other musical maverick from the past 30 years."- The West Briton
."Fucking incredible, the future of rock and roll" - Captain Sensible
."The beauty of M.E.B. is that they at once have complete respect and complete contempt for pop music; they reduce it to its very base, murdering its self-satisfied pomp, and squeeze from it compelling results."- Esopop
"Brilliant- My Elvis Blackout were fucking terrible - the worst band I've (ever) heard.and they also looked like a bunch of tossers. Obviously they might not be, but they looked like they were. Fucking brilliant."- A man of letters; a real character.

.Since the initial (school music room) rumblings of My Elvis Blackout in early 2001, via the formation of the band as it stands today in summer 2004, the band have racked up hundreds of tour miles gigging with the likes of The Bluetones, Status Quo, The Fall, The Harrisons, Ted Chippington and good friends I Say Marvin, as well as festival appearances alongside Super Furry Animals, Feeder, Go! Team, Cypress Hill and The Gossip.
Between summer 2004 and summer 2010, My Elvis Blackout have played an average of one gig every fortnight, everywhere from the sparsely attended car park of the British Legion in Redruth to a packed Shepherd's Bush Empire in London
