Graceland Mafia has been unofficially tagged “Orange County’s Undisputed Kings of Non-Rockabilly.” Still undisputed, they seem to be driven with enough energy to power anything from a hot rod to a fleet of 18-wheelers. Tight rhythms, rapid-fire guitar and a guttural front man reminiscent of Elvis combine for a fuel that burns full-throttle, from the draw of the curtain to the final bow. They write simple songs about simple things; love, life, surfing alien truckers, unsuccessful blackout drinking, and the roads that lead from small towns to big cities.
The four Orange County natives have performed at countless venues and events including (but not limited to): the House of Blues, the Hootenanny, the Coach House, O.C. Fair, L.A. County Fair, the Galaxy Theatre, and Bike Week - Love Ride Festival with the likes of Reverend Horton Heat, Dick Dale, The Blasters, Supersuckers, Horrorpops, the Cadillac Tramps, Billy Zoom, Dave Alvin, and Lee Rocker.
