Musicians and Staff
Singer and bass player it is a beauty queen Séverine. A feline in the big heart which captures the words to make it a song, as a cat catches a mouse. Eh, yes! The words it is its food, its life … She also plays of sleeve, but not imports whom … Where are your ideas frankly? I speak about her bass naturally. At the beginning not by choice, but finally, she took well taste there. The fingers go through ropes as the words touch her lips. A fragile and sensitive soul with the tests but today a woman strong and motivated more than ever.- Séverine gives rhythm to her words with her agreements of bass.
- Freddy, when he does not repair your guitars, he teases his.
- Jean-Mix, the handyman: sound, lights, stars' whims...
Musical influences

History
History Once upon a time, there was a little bit lost girl in the head, euh and very yes I am afraid, euh I indeed believe that it is me, Séverine. Yes, then thus I resume, where I was a girl of restless nature and doubting the existence, I began writing songs (words and lines of singings), real therapy for me; the part sinks of my me inside (as in Star Wars, normal that speaks about stars) became then my source Essential, existential? Of inspiration. It is at this precise moment when I discovered the dictaphone, the tool from which I rarely part moreover, my second memory! Here is!! The machine was thrown and did not stop any more since this famous November 1997. The group " éléis " which we know today "was born" from diverse meetings with a lot of musicians of this from there by announcements, accidentally, by mistake, oops! Maybe not Since my meeting with Freddy, guitarist at all his hours (to his bathtub, if, if) february on 2003 I felt consolidated in my moose. And yes it frail and humble character whom is Freddy understood at once the funny phenomenon (or strange phenomenon) whom I am and knew how to bring his leg (no bear, but artistic) and develop this project with me. In the course of the meetings and the diverse influences of the musicians with whom we collaborated (no jokes there above), our style evolved towards the rock-pop with French and English texts until last June ( 2008 ); you can moreover, having crossed the history of our group with me, having listen to the CD 5 titles of time ( glacial or neanderthal period), I do not know any more?!) recorded to Vallet in October, 2005, The atmosphere was for the rock-pop.... And suddenly, enormous artistic and personal shake-up pushed us (but not too hardly, hey hey) on the way (shod or shod as friend Léo) of the electro-rock and which electric shock treatment!! Eh yes, Fred (yes because in the course of pages Freddy became Fred) dressed his outfit of DJ and completely remixed, I should rather say ré - arranged (let us be good French, name of name!)our directory. Then here is the famous epic or the famous epic of the group " éléis "!! In the fact, why "éléis"? In a certain period, rather distant now, I made many crosswords and I did not manage to find a name of nice scene with the letters of my first name and my name ( Séverine Civel) by anagrams, (in the fact, if you find something nice, do not hesitate to let it to me know by contacting me on my Blog, hey hey!!) then I put myself in search of a word which rings feminine, which is soft and which can be at once the pen name of a group or I only I fell (but without hurting) on " éléis " which is the synonym for " arec " and which means palm tree with oil with very deep roots. I have at once to like the connotation in the perseverance and in the resistance in time and the sweet consonance of the word...Voili, here is! The new style " éléis " is only beginning to make us vibrate and I hope that it will seduce you as much as us!!! Some extracts of clips of live'bar and of repetitions will be in listening very soon for this column or in that of the videos, then, do not hesitate to plunge with us into the new universe of " éléis ". Very good listening.............!
