In 1983 there was an arcade game named Elevator Action. It involved being a spy in a building with a lot of elevators. And the enemies come out from behind closed doors. You get the drift. The game was popular, it was even given a sequel.

(Just a factoid or two for you.)

Today, and for the last several years, Elevator Action is not just a game, it's also a band.

You can listen at their website (linked above) or on MySpace.

In accordance to their name, the last album they put out is called "Society, Secret." So clever. I decided to check them out because their label is MoRisen Records which is the same as "The Sammies" and I love "The Sammies."

The band consists of Eric Gilstrap, Laurie Ruroden and James Donley used to be their drummer BUT they are currently looking for a new one. They have a forceful rock and roll edge to most of their songs. It is a little bit more punk than I lean towards. But with that said, I really like what I have heard when Eric is joined by Laurie in songs. Their voices blend perfectly or on the other hand, compliment each other perfectly. And I think that makes the sound more like a funky pop song, which sits well with me and adds more of a meaningful depth. ;o)

And in case you missed the preview...

Here is Elevator Action with "Namby Pamby"

Hop on over to MoRisen Records to buy their album(s).
