CAB ELLIS IS ONE OF NEW YORK’S ALT-ROCK UNDERGROUND’S BEST-KEPT SECRETS, KNOWN FOR UNINHIBITED, INTOXICATING LIVE PERFORMANCES FILLED WITH STAGE DIVING, BEER-SOAKED MOSH PITS AND BROKEN GUITAR STRINGS.
FRONTMAN CONNOR ABELES BEGAN RAPPING OVER YOUTUBE BEATS AS A TEENAGER IN HAGERSTOWN, MARYLAND, BEFORE MOVING TO LOS ANGELES IN 2018 AND FORMING CAB ELLIS WITH A GROUP OF USC JAZZ STUDENTS. THE BAND RELEASED THEIR SELF-PRODUCED DEBUT, NIGHTTIME OCD, FOLLOWED BY THE EAST COAST HOLD ON, PRODUCED WITH GORDON RAPHAEL (THE STROKES, REGINA SPEKTOR).
SINCE RELOCATING TO NEW YORK IN 2021, CAB ELLIS HAS COMPLETED TWO NATIONAL TOURS AND SOLD OUT VENUES INCLUDING BOWERY BALLROOM, MERCURY LOUNGE AND BABY’S ALL RIGHT. BACKED BY SIX JAZZ MUSICIANS PUSHING AGAINST THE CONFINES OF THEIR TRADITIONAL TRAINING, THE BAND’S LIVE SHOW IS A RAW, EXPLOSIVE REBELLION AGAINST AN AGE OF POLISHED PERFECTION.
