Hello again friends...
sorry it has been a while since
we had an update on the website. We've been very busy
getting the new album finished up and ready to go.
It's called "Back to the Web", and it will be released
worldwide on April 25. We're happy to be releasing the
record on Rykodisc, who've put out some of our all
time faves (Eno, Robert Wyatt, Nick Drake, Flaming
Lips, etc.). I must say, we're really happy with the
way this album turned out. It's definitely a new and
exciting direction for Elf Power. I won't try to
describe it here, but all the response thus far from
friends and fans who have heard it has been very
positive...
We will have some songs up for listening
around the beginning of February on our new Myspace
page (www.myspace.com/elfpowerband)...
We will be playing at SXSW in Austin this year and a big
worldwide tour will start in April. We have some
upcoming shows listed now on the site, check back
periodically for updates....
We are also filming an episode of the TV show "Music Road", a live music show
on TBS. We'll be playing a few songs off of the new
album , and we'll also be backing the wonderfully
amazing Vic Chesnutt, doing about 8 songs of his from
all phases of his career. When we have more info about
when this is airing I'll let you know!

Hi everybody,
we've been holed up all summer
recording our latest masterwork, and though we've
still got a ways to go before it's finished, it's
sounding pretty great thus far....This time out we're
joined by our old cohort
The Late BP Helium
back on bass for the first time since "Winter is Coming" came
out in 2000. We've also got John Fernandes
of The Olivia Tremor Control and Circulatory System fame playing
lots of violin and clarinet, Jimmy Hughes on guitar,
Heather McIntosh
on cello and new drummer Josh Lott.
Hope to have the album out early next year. We'll be playing
some shows this fall with a bigger tour next year when the album comes out,
so check back periodically for tour dates.....Andrew

Hello everybody,
We're excited to be playing with the

album this summer/fall. So in all likelihood, it
should be out early next year... Til then, check the
