Heavy Psych, Hard Rock

LINK

The band was formed in Caracas in 1970 by José "Joseito" Romero (guitar), Jesús "Torito" Toro (vocals), Ender Parra (bass) and Gustavo Calles (drums). Their musical style leaned towards heavy rock.

The band achieved considerable recognition and participated in various festivals during the early 1970s, and the power of their sound garnered a large following. They released a single with the songs "Amándote esta Dios" and "Mundo". The compilation album "2001 Juvenil" (1971) included two of the band's tracks: "This natural place" and "What is the matter with you Janne," and their discography consisted of only four songs.

The group disbanded in 1971, and José Romero, along with Ender Parra, went on to form another cult band in Venezuela: Bacro. In 2012, the German label Shadoks released the limited edition LP, Tsee Mud... which included tracks from the group combined with those from two other important bands where José Romero played Bacro and LSD.

"Elijah actually traces its roots to The Ever-Breen Blues band, who recorded a pair of late-60s albums, 7 Do Eleven and Comin' On. By the early 70's the band had morphed into Elijah, expanding the line-up to an eight piece with the addition of second keyboardist Jim Morris. They released two albums in the early 1970s: self-titled in 1972 and Elijah Fanfares in 1973. The band toured extensively in support of the albums, opening for a wide variety of acts ranging, but with minimal promotion from United Artists, the albums did little commercially amazing given the popularity of early 70's horn rock."
