Enid Ellen, a dynamic duo from Ohio, now flourishing in New York City, comprises David
Mramor (aka Enid Ellen) and Greg Potter. They expanded their initial setup to include a full
band, featuring Mark Karges on drums and Tom Hemmerick on bass. Their musical journey,
rooted in expression and rebellion, reflects their life experiences and backgrounds. The
group’s first album, Cannibal Disease, was a hit in the NYC queer nightlife scene, and
they've since evolved with subsequent albums like Beyond Reality and Piss Boi Pisces,
exploring themes of identity and queer experiences.
The group's creative process, a blend of David's visual artistry and Greg's musical talent,
begins with Potter's compositions, to which Mramor adds meaningful lyrics. Influenced by a
wide array of artists from different genres, including 90s grunge and 70s rock, their music
incorporates themes of gender, sexuality, and drag, echoing their LGBTQIA+ identity.
Memorable tracks like “Queen Mother” and “Pretty on the Sea,” are especially significant
to Ellen, resonating with personal memories and spiritual symbolism.
Their upcoming release promises to be a mystical fusion of emotions, from rage to love,
through nature-inspired metaphors and a mix of punk energy and melodic harmony. Beyond
their music, David's visual arts and Greg's solo endeavors contribute to Enid Ellen's unique
blend of songs, art, and performance, delivering powerful messages and an immersive sonic
experience.
