Elephant & Castle

Born in London at the end of the 80s, the french band E&C had turned the established order of prog rock upside down. They invented an elaborate music, inflated with the energies of Led Zep, Queen or Alice Cooper. The band was compared to such icons as IQ, Rush and Saga. One album (The Green One 1991), one tour, and then it’s over? No way. Two albums (one studio, one live), are released in 2021

A True Storie

A True Storie

Elephant & Castle, the true, happy and little-known story of a gifted group that broke the codes of prog rock.

Le site Progcritique fait l'honneur de ses pages et de ses louanges à Elephant & Castle. Les compliments sont nombreux à l'égard du groupe et de The Lost Album. « Vous pouvez vous demander, à juste titre, après l’écoute de The Lost Album pourquoi cet album, d’un groupe de rock progressif français, est resté au fin fond des oubliettes d
At Last Live

At Last Live

Recorded in 1996, At Last Live is the unprecedented testimony of the power and ease of Elephant & Castle on stage. At the end of 1996, Elephant & Castle decided to record a live album rather than to negotiate a production agreeement with a major. Recorded during two nights in Paris in front of 250 people, At Last is the last recording of a band who
