Electric President is made up of Ben Cooper and Alex Kane, both natives of Jacksonville, Florida. Their musical history is scattered — Ben played in bands from the time he was 13, in as many of four at once, sometimes as a guitarist, or a drummer, singer or bassist. Alex first started playing as the bass player in a band called The Helicopter Project,which Ben joined when they were in need of a singer. It was there that they first met and started recording as Electric President, with Alex on Bass and Ben handling just about everything else.

Since 2006, they’ve released two albums and two seven-inches as Electric President with the German imprint, Morr Music, and have toured in the US, Europe, and Japan. Their sound is a mixture of folk and indie pop crafted with electronic elements sometimes making occasional references to shoegaze and epic prog rock. Now In early 2010 they release The Violent Blue, their first stateside album on New Haven, CT record label Fake Four Inc.
