Bigelf
Bigelf is a progressive rock band from Los Angeles, California. Bigelf

have created a sound which can be described as a heavy pop rife with

epic guitars, maniacal keys and rich, sophisticated harmonies laid

over a foundation of hallucinatory hard rock. Their music also pulls

influences from genres such as stoner and doom rock.

History and Influences
The band was started in 1992 by Damon Fox (Vocals and Keys),

and Steve Frothingham (Drums). Duffy Snowhill (Bass) and Ace Mark (Guitar) were

also friends before Bigelf was started. These beginning years of the

band are when they wrote some of their songs such as "Change", "Closer

To Doom", "Money Machine" and "Falling Bombs". These songs became the

blueprints for the Bands songwriting style. They pull much of their

influences from bands like The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath and

King Crimson.

Closer To Doom
The bands first album, Closer To Doom, was released in 1996. The album was recorded at the Grandmaster studios of LA.
