Lil' Elmo and the Cosmos

Hosting a sock hop party for your next corporate event? Looking for a high energy 1950's show band to recapture the fun and music of the 1950's? Look no further than the rock and roll sounds of Lil' Elmo and the Cosmos for your next event!

We have the experience of providing Lil' Elmo & the Cosmos for special events. In 1985, Lil' Elmo and the Cosmos emerged from the local club scene as one of Los Angeles' top grossing attractions. Time after time, hundreds of enthusiastic fans would flock to prestigious venues to see this great new act. Over time, the band garnered the reputation as L.A.'s finest vintage rock 'n' roll show band.


Preview

Within months, the band found it's way into the studio where they recorded their first single, "Chick City." The record was quickly discovered by prominent Los Angeles deejay Robert W. Morgan who helped "break" the act nationally by adding the single to his highly rated morning show.

"It all happened quickly," said group member Spike Morelli. "The record was on the radio and we were selling out shows everywhere. The street buzz on the band was beginning to have a steamroll effect."

Offers from corporate, casino, concert, fair and festival buyers were coming in from all over the world. In a short amount of time, Lil' Elmo and the Cosmos were doing as many as 200 special events per year throughout the United States as well as in Paris, Hong Kong, and the Winter Olympics in Oslo, Norway.

Shortly after the release of "Chick City," Lil' Elmo was signed to appear in and provide the soundtrack for the movies, "Dangerous Curves" and "Tango and Cash." According to industry insiders, the band had developed a reputation as a great vocal combination that brought new life and honest integrity to the music of the Fifties and Sixties. In a time when Oldies music was being re-hashed and overdone by endless Sha Na Na clones, Lil' Elmo emerged at the top of the heap.

The band prides itself on doing the material that the other so-called Oldies bands cannot do. According to keyboard player Steven A. Feller, "Our harmonies allow us to perform songs that make us unique." Lil' Elmo continues to research the Rock 'n' Roll archives in hopes of discovering material that they can showcase to their knowledgeable fans.

Lil' Elmo has been featured in the production of numerous television and radio commercials for Cheerios, In and Out Burger, KRLA, and KMPC. They recently shot a television pilot for CBS, starring Michael Damian and Frankie Avalon called "The Romeos." In addition, Lil' Elmo and the Cosmos has won several Doo-Wop competitions and has been featured in the New York Doo-Wop show. Lil' Elmo's accapella version of the National Anthem has been featured as the kickoff to some of America's most prestigious sporting events.

In recent years, Lil' Elmo has become a national treasure in the Nevada casino market with yearly performing contracts at Caesar's Palace, The MGM Grand Hotel, The Tropicana Hotel & Resort in Las Vegas and The Eldorado Hotel & Casino in Reno. Their energetic stage shows have consistently packed the show rooms, making them a must see for visitors.

The band has continued to grow and change. While other bands come and go, Lil' Elmo has had remarkably little personnel change since it's debut in 1985. Spike Morelli, Steven A. Feller, Larry Spatz, Jackie Turchin, Doug Hodges and Michael Kleid make up Lil' Elmo. (and yes - there is no Lil' Elmo!)

lil' elmo and the cosmosThe band's first album, entitled "Wise Up" was recorded in 1989 as a souvenir album for sale at the band's popular appearances. The second album, entitled "The Cosmos" was recorded in 1991 and has been a big seller at show around the country. The newest album, "Seven Nights of Rock" is true to the live energy of a Lil' Elmo stage show.

As the Cosmos reputation has continued to gain recognition, they have been requested to open for many major name attractions including Diana Ross, The Righteous Brothers, The Four Tops and The Temptations.

Whatever Lil' Elmo and the Cosmos do in the future, the past and it's music is the catalyst that drew this band together and will keep this band rockin'. What Lil' Elmo brings to Oldies music is the energy and feeling of today.
