Bigelf
Bigelf is a progressive rock/progressive metal band formed in Los Angeles, CA in 1991. They have since released four studio albums.
Biography
Bigelf were formed as a psychedelic/glam-tinged hard rock outfit in 1991 in Los Angeles, California by Damon Fox and Richard Anton. They initially gained a large underground following. Bigelf's original line-up included Damon Fox (vocals/keyboards/guitar), A.H.M. Butler-Jones (vocals/guitar), Richard Anton (vocals/bass) and Thom Sullivan (drums).
The quartet recorded 6-track EP Closer To Doom in spring 1995 co-produced by Sylvia Massy. Closer To Doom was released in 1996 and established them as 'fathers' of the psychedelic doom movement that spawned the L.A. stoner-rock scene. The first line-up change came when Steve Frothingham replaced Sullivan in late '95; soon afterward founding member Richard Anton would exit the band.
Continuing on as a three-piece, they recorded Money Machine in summer 1997, which Swedish prog & heavy metal label Record Heaven would eventually release in 2000. This led the band to tour Scandinavia where they would become a quartet again with addition of Finnish bass player Duffy Snowhill. He debuted on their 6-track EP Goatbridge Palace, which included four live tracks recorded in Stockholm in December 2000. In summer 2001 Butler-Jones fell into a diabetic coma while on tour in Sweden (he would remain in this unconscious state until his death on December 31, 2009). Ace Mark (also from Finland) took his place on guitar, leaving Fox as the sole singer and songwriter.

The Game
by: BigelfI’m looking at the future now
And all the time it’s taken
I’ve got no time to close my mind I might just be mistaken
At least I know how to play the game
You go round and round and round
Just when you think you lose sight of your heart and your mind
You’re in the game again
Just when you think the world is unfair and unkind
You’re in the game again
I’m looking at the days gone by what happened to the laughter
I’ve got no time to close my eyes to find out what I’m after
At least I know that it’s all the same
You go round and round and round
Just when you think you lose sight of your heart and your mind
You’re in the game again
Just when you think the world is unfair and unkind
