ELF POWER

Elephant Six Recording Company artist Elf Power headlined a show at Knitting Factory in NYC last night (November 17, 2005). Andrew emailed to tell me Elf Power played a good show, and this...

"so last night i went to see elf power at the knitting factory. during like the third song jeff mangum comes out to sing the final chorus in his distinctively divine jeff mangum voice. he then exited stage left and that was it. the band did not acknowledge his presence, nor the audience really."

Jeff was last seen at one of Olivia Tremor Control's shows at Bowery Ballroom.

yeah it was so bizzare to see him walking around the venue so nonchalantly i didnt want to acknowledge his presence and blow his cover, the 30 secs he sang for were pretty amazing, never thought id hear his voice live, but after the show i shook his hand and realized i had nothing interesting to say to him so i just walked away
