biographical info
Quiet Elephant is a band from St. John's Newfoundland.
Twin brothers David and Paul Alexander arrived on the east coast and decided to start a band.
"Lets get a keyboard player...someone that goes Thump Thump Thump".
"How about a girl? A female voice would make us sound Boom Boom Boom".
Paul said "I met a girl who works at a music store, why don't I ask
her?" Sharleen Simmons was approached and said "I play a lot more
instruments than just piano, how about I play them all?"
Trumpets and accordions and electric guitars? Why not!
Over the next few months the trio worked on songs in David's tiny
downtown apartment. The living room could barely fit the three of them
with their gear but notes were played and songs were sung.
"Now we need a drummer, one that can sound like Thunder."
After beaming through time as a series of ones and zeros Sharleen's brother, Stephen Simmons, materialized.
"Can you play Thunder?" they asked.
"I am Thunder" he replied.
After jamming in Stephen & Sharleen's basement a band was born...it weighed 554lbs and 6 ounces.
"Now we need a name...something cool but that is also fun...cause we are fun!'"
"How about Quiet Elephant?" Paul suggested.
Suggestion accepted.
"That'll do"
Boom! Band, Music...ready to touch down on the rock tarmac and broadcast the calamity.
