Elvis Galvez has played solo sets before, but this last Friday's set at Silver Factory Studios was definitely a different one for him; he was plugged in. Armed with a vocal pedal, his Fender Jaguar, and his delay pedals, Elvis shared a beautiful experimental set with the curious ears of the dark room. Galvez sings with such beautiful conviction in a way that may provoke an audience to feel that same conviction inside themselves.
TE: Who were your main influences for your Elvis Is Dead set?
EG: Sammy Seinz, Tianna Edmonson, Jorge Salazar, Sailor Jerry, Julie Canizalez, Cecilia Navarrete, and my foreskin, and also John Frusciante, and Sonic Youth
TE: How long did it take you to prepare that set? How long did you work on it for?
EG: I didn’t really work on a set, I just messed around the past two days with the setup I had kind of, and I just kind of decided to just wing it and that’s what happened.
TE: Will you do more sets like that in the future?
EG: I think I want to but with people to accompany me. Just kind of fuck around and make sound.
