Elves are empirically cool - perhaps even groovy. I've never met an elf I didn't like, even half-elves and Drow. Think about all the hip elves - you have Elrond, Galadriel, Arwin, Drizzt Du'orden, Tanis Half-Elvin, the Keebler elves, Santa's Elves (Will Ferrell included), and Spock (the pointy ears are a giveaway).
Given the inherent liability and coolness of the Elvin population, it's no surprise that Elf Power is a band to make Athens, Georgia, proud. Walking in the footsteps of REM, Elf Power has graduated from the 40 Watt Club to opening for bands like Wilco and Guided by Voices.
Not only does Elf Power make solid music, they have their own label and give back to the community. Their official bio states they run "their own record label/land conservation group called Orange Twin. The label releases records by Elf Power, Neutral Milk Hotel and many others, proceeds from sales of which go towards supporting the land conservation group, which involves 150 acres of land on the outskirts of Athens, formerly an old girl scout camp, currently being turned into a self sustainable, low impact village and nature preserve."
Their new album, to be released on Tuesday, is titled Back to the Web.
