Elephant

With irresistible guitar melodies, steadfast nonchalance and lyrics that make the everyday seem just a little more romantic, Rotterdam's Elephant tackles cynicism. For years, the four of them had mainly been sidemen in other people's projects, now they suddenly had the entire playground to themselves. With the velvet gloves of Andy Shauf, the timid posture of Teenage Fanclub and The Feelies and the homely warmth of Wilco, they play effortless, heartwarming and hopeful indie rock with a warm sound.

After the acclaimed breakthrough album Big Thing (2022) and its successor Shooting for the Moon (2023), the quartet is facing the chaos with a clenched fist, because for them nothing is as radical as peace and optimism. With sold-out club tours, the necessary airplay and the predicate 'Promising Talent' from the hands of de Volkskrant, 3voor12 and 3FM, you could safely say that Elephant is doing well. Now their new album III (2025) is completely ready, and that is reason for a party; no less than two release shows on Rotterdam's most beautiful stage!
