Bio

2004 Northridge, Ca an elderly woman fears for her life.

Lifetime Channel Movie Re-enactment or the Birth of Southern California’s Greatest Thrash/Pop Solo artist?

While attending a student songwriting showcase at Cal State University Northridge an elderly woman finds herself straddled by a young Eric Estrada look alike and to the horror of some and delight of many is force fed a lightning speed guitar solo played from behind the young rocker’s neck. Ladies and Gentlemen: I give you Eli Santana.

First known as the charismatic Lead Singer/Lead Guitarist in some of San Diego’s most entertaining Metal/Hardcore bands, Eli Santana the solo artist is now able to fully deliver his vision of Catchy Pop Melodies and virtuosic guitar heroics on top of high energy Rock n’ Roll. Santana is backed by Chris Morris on Keyboards, Richie Chase on Bass and Nick Terry on Drums. Collectively these talented musicians are known as the Beastiality Boys, the pride of the SoCal music scene. With comparisons ranging from Led Zeppelin to Muse and Def Leppard to Faith No More Santana has dedicated himself to producing a body of work filled with action packed, palatable originality.

“I didn’t want anything but to rock a hole in the pretentious bubble…” explained Santana after hijacking some out of ear shot performer’s slot and singing “…is that a keg in your pants ‘cuz I’d like to tap that ass” (lyrics from crowd favorite “Tappin’ It”) in front of hundreds of aspiring songwriters at the members only Taxi Convention in Hollywood. Like a Dark Comedy, Santana’s lyrics are a light hearted approach to expressing his deepest thoughts and feelings. In “the Search 4 Johnny Drama”, Santana expresses the frustration of being a classically trained guitarist with a freshly earned college degree who can’t even get a job at Starbucks. Or in the song “Proximity Infatuation” (which found a slot on Extreme Sports DVD “Smorgasboard” and radio play on LA station KLSX) Santana speaks of running away with his dream girl (now girlfriend) who he has sustained a relationship with via e-mail for years.

“You know you’re bad ass when f*cking Steve-O (of MTV’s Jackass) throws you the horns” yelled mid song by bassist Richie to Eli while pointing out the adventurous TV star in the packed and prestigious Whisky A-Go-Go while opening for the Atomic Punks (world’s greatest Van Halen tribute band). Leaving their mark at such venues as LA’s Whisky, Cat Club, the Knitting Factory, Palladino’s and San Diego’s Squid Joe’s, Belly Up Tavern and MiraCosta College with their arena rock style drum, keyboard, bass and guitar solos, crowd sing alongs, “vibe setting”/movie samples and crowd photo sessions. “He’s one of the best front men I’ve ever seen” said Palladino’s owner Jimmy D about Santana’s performance at his club.

With the release of “the Go Deep EP” now in its third run due to sales at their live shows the Beastiality Boys have made the popular CD available on itunes and CD Baby. Eli and the boys have also agreed to embark on their first tour this summer put on by Critekal Entertainment and plan to record their first full length album upon their triumphant return. So begins the quest to bear a mainstream crown on a throne of Rock n’ Roll.
