Bio
Fishboy is a Denton, TX indie rock band with an unhealthy love of power pop and narrative songwriting. Founded in 2001 by native Texan Eric Michener, the group has released a handful of story based albums, EPs, and seven inch records that are often accompanied with comics drawn by Michener.
In fall 2014 the band released An Elephant: an album and wordless graphic novel about the ghost of Topsy: the elephant who was publicly electrocuted by Thomas Edison in 1903 and her attempts to avenge her death and pass into the afterlife. The results are a unique supernatural-historical-sci-fi-all-ages-revenge-thriller-rock-opera-comic-book.
The project was released as a traditional vinyl LP and as 5.5x5.5” 160 page read-along comic that was specially formatted, animated, and posted online in the weeks leading up to its physical release. The album and web formatted comic are currently available to stream read at An-Elephant.com
