Absent Elk


From: Brighton

Profile: Shoreham’s Ross Martin, Mike Hillman, James Penhallow and Ric Wilson shared a schoolboy dream of being in a band. Now, with the help of Norwegian frontman Kjetil Morland, that dream has become a reality. Absent Elk got together in 2005, after Morland’s Shoreham-based girlfriend heard about four local musicians looking for a singer and put her partner forward. The quintet are now signed to Sony BMG and are currently supporting Girls Aloud on an arena tour all over the country. Their debut album is in the can and first single Sun And Water is out on Monday, May 17.
