#29. Barely a month ago, on February 12, I was wearing an Elf Power shirt. At that time, I bemoaned the lack of Elf Power shows I’ve seen locally. And right under my nose, the Elephant 6 Holiday Surprise Tour was announced, and I almost missed out on this show because tickets sold out before I even knew about it.
The Elephant 6 Holiday Surprise Tour is a rotating membership from bands like Olivia Tremor Control, Circulatory System, Neutral Milk Hotel, The Gerbils, The Music Tapes and of course Elf Power, all bands associated with Elephant 6. The generous set (a little over 3 ½ hours, with a little break in the middle) consisted of songs from most of these bands, and included a few from Elf Power. Although I still want to see a full Elf Power set again, this Surprise Tour was very satisfying and reminded me how unique these bands are. And it was quite the surprise.
