EVENING ELEPHANTS
Emerging out of an illegal backyard party in Los Angeles, the duo of Sam Boggs, a disgraced LA skit actor, and Brandon Leslie, a tarot card-reading hip-hop producer, bonded over the love of two things - music and cigarettes. With the sunrise approaching and cigarette butts piled up, a three-day bender had just started to take its toll on Sam, when he and Brandon (aka B) recognized one another as kindred spirits. They plotted a jam session within weeks of meeting, adopted the name Evening Elephants (inspired by Naruto), and began disrupting the norm around L.A. Evening Elephants started throwing showcases in the same backyard they met in, bringing in over 150 RSVPs in 48 hours for their first show. Evening Elephants performed a series of now “legendary” backyard shows, cutting their teeth in front of a fervent audience.
OnesToWatch chronicled one of those gigs and emerged as an ardent early supporter. INKED also raved, “With a lust for life and passion for bringing people together, Evening Elephants’ infectious grooves aren’t stopping anytime soon,” while The Luna Collective hailed their “on-brand brutal honesty.” Since their fateful encounter in 2021, the pair went on to quietly generate over 10 million streams and build an audience one fan at a time with a fluid and fiery sound anchored by B’s production with live drums, and peppering sunny melodies with the kind of truths typically reserved for diaries.
Evening Elephants gained momentum with Evening Demos EP in 2022 followed by the signature single “Life Is Swell” in 2023 and the standout “Snow On The Bluff,” produced by PJ Bianco (Imagine Dragons, Jonas Brothers) which garnered over 5 million Spotify streams. During their inaugural year as a band, Evening Elephants captivated audiences across the US with performances at legendary venues such as Baby’s All Right, Teragram Ballroom, The Moroccan Lounge, Larimer Lounge, and Lost Lake including sold-out performances in New York City and Denver. The band caught the attention of coveted brands early on such as JuneShine, who sponsored the backyard shows on top of performances at the JuneShine brewery in San Diego. Given the palpable buzz and the level of cult adoration surrounding the band, the Evening Elephants signed to Republic Records and are set to release their debut and much more in 2025.
