Liquid Elvis is a four-piece out of Seattle. We came up playing house shows in Capitol Hill, basement rooms in Olympia, the kind of dive in Belltown that smells like beer from 1994 because it IS beer from 1994. We never left.

We don't have a manager, an agent, or a label. We run our own tours, build our own riders, advance our own venues, settle our own shows. ATOM is how we do it without losing our minds.

THE BAND:
— guitar / vocals (Mara)
— guitar / backup vocals (Jonas)
— bass (Pete — yes, "Sweetwater Pete")
— drums (Kit)

HOW WE USE ATOM:
— Mara handles the advance + day-of itineraries on Tour Book
— Pete runs Money — settlements, per diems, deal memos straight from the promoter's email into the books
— Jonas builds the stage plot + input list in ATOM Stage Plot, sends to FOH at every venue
— Kit's the driver on bus days and pulls the route + truck stops up on ATOM Driver
— We all live in Tour Chat. Bus calls, hotel maps, soundcheck pics, the whole run

We grew up on Mudhoney, Fugazi, Sleater-Kinney, Built to Spill. We listen to a lot of Big Thief and IDLES now too. We don't sound like any of them. We sound like four people who lived in a van for two years before we could afford anything else.

Two records out. Third one half-finished and parked on Pete's hard drive. Currently touring the US in a bus we share with a country act, and yes, that's awkward, and yes, the country act keeps the kitchen cleaner than us.

We're a slow-build live band. First three songs you might think you've heard us before. By song five you remember our name. By the encore you've already added us on Bandcamp.

We don't do meet-and-greets. We do load-out. Come help.

P.S. — Our tour docs (advance, hospitality rider, deal memos, settlement reports, runner list) are public for any band trying to figure out how an indie tour actually runs on paper. Free to download, copy, study: 📁 Open in Dropbox →

Crew who get loud / quiet / loud as a dynamic and don't fight it.

FOHs who can ride a 35-piece dynamic range and don't compress everything to a smudge. Monitor engineers who can run a band of four people who all hate in-ear mixes. TMs who book actual pizza places, not Domino's.

We are NOT looking for: branded sponsorship deals, sync licensing pitches at after-parties, A&R people, anyone wearing a lanyard backstage.

Open to: opener slots for bigger acts (IDLES, Wednesday, Soccer Mommy, anyone who isn't terrible), college radio chats, basement-show recommendations city-by-city.

🎸 Van's loaded. PA's questionable. Doors at 9.
