Bio
Formed by four restless music students in the summer of 2005, Vera Ellen set out to write unconventional yet accessible music that would satisfy the musically inclined as well as the pop-sensible. Tired of being inundated with variations on an unremarkable theme, the group was convinced that the demand for such music was alive and well.
After six months of diligent rehearsal and writing, they began playing in their hometown of Carbondale, IL as well as immediately playing out of town, seeking to expose as many people as possible to their craft.
The group prides itself on its 100% collaborative writing and arranging process, often having finely tuned arrangements long before entering the studio. Their diverse influences have them alternately evoking the breakneck meter changes of The Mars Volta, the loud guitar-driven rock of The Smashing Pumpkins, and the restraint of a well-trained jazz combo.
