Elf Power @ Emo's, Tonight

Lo-fi indie psych-pop clan Elf Power are currently on tour supporting their eighth album, Back to the Web (Rykodisc). Hailing from Athens, Georgia, the bunch were part of the Elephant Six Collective, alongside such indie greats as Neutral Milk Hotel, Apples in Stereo and Of Montreal.

Check 'em out at Emo's tonight, where they'll be playing with The Instruments, The Paper South, and Peel. In just a few days they'll be heading across the Atlantic to play at the sold-out, Shins/Sleater-Kinney/Dinosaur Jr-curated United Sounds of ATP indie fest. God, we're so unbelievably jealous.

Elf Power is:
Andrew Reiger (vocals/vox/guitar), Jimmy Hughes (guitar), John Fernandes (violin/clarinet), Derek Almstead (bass), Josh Lott (drums), Laura Carter (moog/guitar/accordian), and Heather McIntosh (cello/keyboards)
