Imagine a Rock and Roll Tribute show, so realistic, it will overwhelm your senses of sight and sound. L.A.vation is that band, and U2 its inspiration!

Based in Los Angeles, California, the entertainment capital of the world, L.A.vation derives its name from the hit song "Elevation", the third single released from U2's 2000 album, All That You Can't Leave Behind.

L.A.vation has faithfully crafted an amazingly accurate show, incorporating memorable stage elements from past U2 concerts with "spot-on" musical execution, all the while emphasizing the pride and passion of the four lads from Dublin.

L.A.vation has performed in Europe (England, The Netherlands, Belgium, France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Iceland, Kosovo), the Middle East & Asia (Dubai-UAE, Afghanistan, Kuwait, Lebanon), Africa (Egypt), the Caribbean (Dominican Republic, Haiti, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Antigua, St. Maarten, St. Kitts, St. Croix, Grenada, St. Lucia, Bahamas), North- & Central America (USA, Canada, Bermuda, Mexico, Honduras, Costa Rica, El Salvador), and South America (Colombia), with many more international shows coming up.

Some of the corporate events & private shows that L.A.vation has performed for are:

Facebook, Rolling Stone LA, BMW/Mini, Playboy Mansion, Natural Products Expo, NAMM, Mac Mall, PC Mall, Abbvie Pharmaceuticals, F5 Agility - F5 Networks, RHCC Foundation, Radiorama Mexico, GLAZA, Operation HOT (USO Tour with Chef Robert Irvine and football coach Lou Holtz), actress Sela Ward, Royal Caribbean Cruise lines, Celebrity Cruise Lines, and many more.

L.A.vation is available for stadium shows, festivals, clubs, casinos, weddings, birthdays, concerts in the park, Christmas parties, fundraisers, churches, Armed Forces Tours (AFE & USO Tours), as well as private parties and corporate events within the U.S. and around the world.

According to audiences and fans across the world, L.A.vation is truly 'The Next Best Thing', and no other U2 Tribute Band or U2 Cover Band sounds as close to the real U2 as L.A.vation.

L.A.vation astonishes with hit after hit from each of the band’s fifteen blockbuster albums, featuring crowd pleasers like “New Year’s Day”, “With Or Without You”, “Beautiful Day”, “One” and “Vertigo”.

Lead by Patrick Boudreaux as BONO, this quartet has left no stone unturned to deliver the most accurate Tribute to U2, the greatest rock and roll band of its generation! Along with Bart Davis, who recreates the tech guitar wizardry of “The Edge”, bassist Mikey Hachey supplies the melodic low end of Adam Clayton. And true to his real-life counterpart, Larry Mullen Jr., drummer/music director Jorgen Ingmar Alofs provides the heart, soul and attention to detail that makes L.A.vation unrivaled, except perhaps by U2 themselves!

Aether Element was formed in 2022. The band consists of

Thomas Trimble (drums)

Trever Carmichael (vocals)

Nate Burkart (guitar)

Emilio Jimenez (bass)

Thomas started drums on buckets in his garage at age 15 before getting his first kit in 2021 where he has spent countless hours on the kit every day since. He is a natural on drums with a unique way of playing his instrument. Does not settle for basic and common song structure for his creations and uses mathematics and complex techniques to achieve his sound. Has a very good understanding of odd time structure, poly-meters, poly-rhythms and music theory.

Trever has 5+ years of experience, mostly self-taught vocalist who has a precise image he wants to perform, has a very capable range in tone, from going from a rough chantful yelling to a rhythmic and superb falsetto. Has been in over 7 bands that consisted of various genres. Music is his passion and priority over all. Trever dabbles in art for all of Aether Elements official art but often finds himself creating angry elder gods that crave to be released from the page they resign. Trever is in an asynchronous chaotic state at all times.

Nate is progressive guitarist with 5 years of experience playing everything from classic rock, heavy metal, to jazz and fusion. He explores grooves in odd times and finds interesting syncopated rhythms. He likes to explore modes and atonal music trying to find unique and nuanced emotions from musical notes. He plays both sharp and rhythmically acting as machine turning the cogs of time, as well as soulfully and freely flowing as an eagle glides with the wind.

Emilio, the thunderous heartbeat of Aether Element. His style is slap/thump bass with the technical prowess of progressive rock, drawing inspiration from icons like Les Claypool, Flea, and Justin Chancellor. Emilio is the foundation and bottom end of the bands sound. Emilio is into custom building street cars and pursuing business in college.
