Elephant9 is a Norwegian progressive jazz rock/fusion band that started in 2006 under the name Storløkken/Eilertsen/Lofthus before changing their name to Elephant9 the same year. Their music is a modern take on 70’s fusion and hard rock, influenced by Miles Davis on one end and bands like Emerson, Lake & Palmer and Deep Purple on the other. The hammond-driven fusion and analogue instrumental pieces drives their music into focused, structured jams, as well as pushing their music into long stretches of progressive rock in a self-assured way.They are notable for featuring Motorpsycho's Ståle Storløkken among their lineup.
