Born: Declan Patrick McManusWhat's in a Name: Originally performed as D.P. Costello, using his great-grandmother's surname (not inspired by the American comedian Lou Costello). Costello later took his manager's advice and adopted the first name Elvis. Further confusing the matter, he legally added Aloysius to his given name in the '80s

E.C. is a fantastic songwriter. DJ, his songs make you think, if you were capable. He's written some of the best bass lines in rock and has worked with most of the biggest names in music. If you don't get it, you don't get it. But that's your fault, not his.
