Voted BEST LOCAL BAND by the San Francisco Bay Guardian's BEST OF THE BAY 2010 Reader's Poll.
Formed in 2008, the original line up consisted of Ben Holder and Ricky Terry (In 2011 producer Scott Naylor temporally was part of the lineup) then the band took a break for other projects. ejector has made a name for themselves and became a San Francisco favorite playing clubs, street festivals, and fund raising events. Combining strengths, a new sound was completely evident at their first show together and audiences knew something big had happened. Drawing from a broad range of influences, prior industry knowledge, their love of film scores, sci-fi, and theatre, these elements get wrapped up with a dance groove while not forgetting to add a dash of humor, and sass. They are no strangers to dancing between the light and the dark, deftly transitioning between gentle passion and raw aggression and tackling themes from the playful now to the pain of long lost love. Flash in the pan pop act they are not.
Eject your preconceived notions. Eject your limitations. Put on something fun and join the mayhem.

“EJECTOR TAKES ELECTRO POP Glam TO THE NEXT LEVEL! Take one part dazzling electronic pop music a la Depeche Mode… Rope it down and get it wound-up real tight… Then add some beefy vocals from an enigmatic singer, all wrapped-up in spandex, leather and lace. What have you got? It’s ejector, one kick-ass glam group!”

FUZZ fan review
"ejector reminds me of chefs that I admire. They seek influence from all that they've tasted then return to their kitchens to cook in a style that is decidely their own, all the while paying homage to the technique and craft that they've learned along the way."
