Elliott Brood is a three-piece alternative country band from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, consisting of Mark Sasso on lead vocals, guitar, banjo, ukelele and harmonica, Casey Laforet on guitar, backing vocals, bass pedals, keys and ukelele and Stephen Pitkin on percussion, sampler and backing vocals. The band bills its own style as “death country”.
Members Mark Sasso and Casey Laforet grew up together in Windsor, and began playing as a band after moving to Toronto following high school. They played their first show in 2002 with two other musicians at Toronto club Holy Joes, although Sasso and Laforet have disagreed in the press about whether that show was played under the name Token Hillbillies or Mark Sasso and the Sassettes.
Although the two other musicians dropped out of the band’s lineup after only a few shows, Sasso and Laforet continued as a duo, hooking up with producer Stephen Pitkin to record their first EP, Tin Type. Tin Type was recorded over two days in Mark Sasso’s living room. The band called the recording space “The Orange Room” because it was painted orange.
The EP was released in January 2004 by weewerk Records, and came packaged in a brown paper bag containing a handmade photobook done in the style of the American Old West.
Pitkin recorded and co-produced Tin Type, but did not officially become a band member until the band released its first LP, Ambassador, on Six Shooter Records in 2005.

"Miss You Now" is a ridiculously catchy song. Well done lads. Caught the Q appearance awhile ago, and the version from that show blew me away. Continued success!

Saw the band live in Bilbao (Basque Country) last fall and they were really cool. The did a cool version of Neil Young's "Powderfinger" as well as lots of their own great material. They were also very nice guys to hang out with. I swapped a CD with them and have given "Ambassador" quite a few spins since then - a good album! Thumbs up to Elliott Brood!
