Elf Power - Walking with the Beggar Boys

The five members of this band have travelled all around the world for tours, and they have especially stopped at Athens to release this album ("Walking with the Beggar boys"), and along with five other albums.

Elf Power's latest album, "Walking with the Beggar Boys" marks a definite change in sound and style for Athens, Georgia's underground cult favourites. New members Eric Harris and Craig McQuiston join longtime members Andrew Rieger, Laura Carter and Aaron Wegelin, reinventing the band both musically and lyrically on their sixth release.

Musically the band is all over the map this time, going from sleazy, T-Rex rockers, to psychedelic electronica, to blown out Southern boogie romps. Lyrically, the band foregoes the abstract supernatural imagery of their past releases for a more straightforward lyrical approach, with songs about the effects of advertising and media on modern America, and even strange, autobiographical story songs about meeting up with a gang of beggar children in Warsaw. Elf Power's finest moment is here, so listen up!

Elf Power formed in Athens, in 1994 an have spent the last decade releasing six albums and touring the globe, from America to Europe to Japan and Brazil, playing with bands like REM, Wilco, Guided by Voices, and Neutral Milk Hotel, building a rabid underground following in the process. The band will be touring all over once again in support of this release.

They have been running their own record company for nearly a decade now, which is called Orange Twin (www.orangetwin.com). The band will be touring over again, starting with a US tour in April, and another in Brazil in the following month (May).
