LA River Bend was formed in 2012, consisting of Emily Elkin (Cello/Vocals), Jacob Seldes (Drums), Branden Stroup (Bass/Vocals/Guitar) and Nate Weiner (Vocals/Guitar).
Originally, Nate Weiner had recorded his solo album “Ride The Sun” with long time friend Branden Stroup and Emily Elkin. Addition, Jacob Seldes as Drums joined in his album. Nate Weiner explained, “The addition of Seldes to the band is immeasurable, because I think our sound would have been less dimensional without his style of drumming.” After recording, they started the band as LA River Bend. - source : Grimy Goods
