In a sea of gritty garage rock, Chris
Plum started this catchy pop crew in 1999. Originally known as The Neptunes, Mood Elevator continues to pump out
hook-filled pop tunes that stick in your head and put you in a good
mood.
If you think this gang
looks a
lot like Brendan Benson and the
Wellfed Boys, you’re right. It’s the same folks, just
switched around a bit. In Mood
Elevator, Chris Plum pens the tunes and is out front while
Brendan Benson provides support with backup vocals and guitar.
While Zach Shipps continues to play with Mood Elevator, he has left the Wellfed Boys to rock out with Electric
Six. Though Mood Elevator
and Brendan Benson appear the same,
they sound a bit different. While Brendan
Benson and the Wellfed Boys
showcase Benson’s well-crafted songwriting, Mood Elevator throws in some power
pop and heavy guitar riffs. --Ryan Sult
