These guys are an English rock band that started in 1970 with Jeff Lynne, Roy Wood, and Bev Bevan.They're still active today, but they have taken breaks throughout their career. So they were technically active until 1986, then had a brief comeback in 2000 for a year, then officially came back in 2012. The group started out of their other band called the Move when there was a desire to make different types of music. Obviously the picture shows more than just those two guys, with the others in the band briefly before leaving due to bad touring and clashes with the manager. Despite this, the group went strong for 14 years before Lynne got tired of the group and disbanded it. That was in 1986, and Bevan responded by making his own group called ELO Part 2 which was active from 1989 to 2000. Then Devan left, saying the band broke up, but everyone else continued without him under the moniker The Orchestra. This was because Bevan sold his rights to the name back to Lynne since they were the founding members, and Lynne was fully prepared to sue if the other guys kept using it. Dick move in my opinion, but the new name is much better than the old. Lynne reformed ELO in 2000 with a totally new lineup, but ultimately their tour got cancelled and everything was quiet for awhile apart from their back catalogue being released. Lynne and Richard Tandy (who had been a member on and off throughout their history) became what is now considered ELO, briefly popping up to add new songs to the albums of the old and playing charity concerts when fans requested it. They released their first completely new album in 2015 after nothing since 2000, which they followed up with a tour. As for what more is to come I really don't know, but I guess we'll have to wait and see.
It’s a song you found out you really didn’t know the lyrics to. This one is easy for me because I still remember Anna razzing me about it. Sammy doesn’t know the word to anything, but she picked September by Earth, Wind and Fire because she legitimately did not know September was a word in the song, which is hilarious. My mom chose one that I don’t think anyone knows the words to in Benny And The Jets by Elton John. My grandma went with Waltzing Matilda by Slim Dusty and of course we were waiting for Will’s choice, and he finished with Battery by Metallica.
Peace.
