Elf Power

- Elf Power formed in 1994 and have spent the last 14 years releasing nine albums, two eps, a handful of singles, and touring America, Europe,and Japan. Elf Power’s ninth album blasts them past the familiar territories of beautiful records past “ landing them on exciting new terrain. Granted, the Elves‘ sound is still founded on the bedrock attributes that make them memorable: leader Andrew Rieger’s otherworldly lyrical stances and his easy way with the rare and amazing melody, their instrumentally-eclectic reappraisal of classic rock, and a propulsive rhythm section that’s tight as ever. In A Cave, though, finds them filtering their powerful live approach through a varied, experimental series of recording processes and approaches; the new album plays like a spirited, exploratory series of treatments on the tried-and-true Elf Power sound.

Arbor Day
- http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=2554949
- Arbor Day began in 1999 when two freshmen at New York University became engaged in a very serious conversation regarding various bootleg versions of the Beach Boys' SMiLE. This conversation led to a close friendship, which led to a semester of musical experimentation. But it wasn’t until that Christmas break when singer/songwriter Dileepan Ganesan recorded a batch of songs and then played them for his friend Andrew Levine (trombone, Theremin) upon his return to classes, that Arbor Day took a more solid form. These songs provided the basis for the group's sound: a subtle blend of 60s pop, indie rock aesthetic, and plenty of catchy melodies.
