With over 3000 CD'S distributed independently throughout Newfoundland and the rest of Canada, X.E-L.A & The U.F.O Acid Godz are building a reputation as passionate, fun-loving, musical renegades, with a lot to say and a very unique way of saying it. The founder and soul behind X.E-L.A & The U.F.O Acid Godz is Newfoundland singer/songwriter Alex Gillard, known for his creative, sincere lyrics and intense live performances, he is no stranger to the stage. Writing music since the age of 14, Gillard has managed to release a staggering amount of material in every genre imaginable, ranging from Electronica to Metal, Folk, Hip hop, Instrumental, and Bluegrass, not to mention everything in between. Unbelievably, he did it all by himself from a tiny bedroom... until now. With the help of an "All Star" production team, including Jack Macassic, Scott Hammond and the Juno award winning Wade Pinhorn, backing him up, Alley is hitting the studio for his first full length commercial release titled X.E-L.A & The U.F.O Acid Godz (Pt 1). The album will contain 12 songs written entirely by Gillard, including the already infamous tracks: From the moon, Freedoms March, The Cabin Song, Drop Me off in Space and The Battle of 2012. So with just a few months left in the countdown to the release of X.E-L.A & The U.F.O Acid Godz all that’s left to be said is get ready! Because the face of the folk music is about change drastically... Written by: Allanah Pinhorn www.xela.ca for further details :)
