ELIAS CONTRIBUTES TO SUPER BOWL SPOTS SANTA MONICA — Elias Music Library (www.eliasarts.com) contributed to a number of spots that aired during the February 7 th Super Bowl broadcast. The company worked with agency Deutsch LA on a pack- age of commercials for Taco Bell that feature real business owners in mock local ads touting Taco Bell's new Quesalupa. Local entrepreneurs from Texas, Ohio, Oregon, Virginia and Minnesota — including 'Fancy Ray,' the owner of a vintage record store, and 'Mr. Appliance,' who uses his might to fix any household problem — explain how well Taco Bell's Quesalupa pairs with their own services. The Fancy Ray spot calls on a number of musical genres to reflect the store's music collection, including jazz and heavy metal. Mr. Appliance uses a growing trumpet track to suggests power and strength. In addition to the Taco Bell campaign, Elias Music Library also contributed music to the Squarespace Super Bowl campaign starring comedians Key and Peele. In related news, Elias Music Library recently began representing the Bing Bang Boom catalog. They serve as the exclusive representative of the company's music and sound design in the United States.
