Artist History El Serioso, which has no English translation, but is not really spanish either, is a narrative groove band. They hail from Olympia, Washington where they have been deemed hip and edgy enough for the hipsters and groovy and friendly enough for the hippies. El Serioso provides subversions, irreverence, and pathos all in a shiny package that is nothing short of irresitibly dancable. And they love you.

Group Members Chad impacts the drums like a man possessed Phil makes sounds sweet & viscious on lead guitar Seth lays down a groove fat & wide on bass Jeff speaks and yells and rants and raps but refuses to sing

Instruments bass, drums, vocals, guitar, sometimes some keys & horns

Albums the cactus sessions EP, Live @ Studio 321

Press Reviews "Is it the shock value of taboo subject matter coupled with incredibly tight instrumentation? Is it that members of El Serioso, with their uncanny blend if spoken word and blues/rock fusion, have been mainstays in the Olympia music scene? Whatever it is, El Serioso grabs me down deep & holds me." -axis magazine 1998 "It was badass. really intense. It was fun. These guys may very well be making it in the near future" -cooper point journal nov. 98
