Auto Da Fe was formed out of Amps For Christ practices by Tara Tavi, Martin Kvisvic, and Joel Connell. The CD "The Spectre" was released in May, 2006 on Secret Eye Recordings. A comp track was on "False Object Sensors", put out by Vermiform Records in 2001. Leandra Gil is on percussion. Erin Barnes occasionally plays hurdy gurdy, cello and frame drums. Now we are full on devotees.

thanks, it occured to me that maybe it would be more sensible to link to the band page from my one so that people could go straight to your luverly music. walking into the tunnels to 'little allili' after sneaking out for a sly puff was like walking into a dream, i love that song.

Hey there, big fan of your music..You should post up some pics of that whole Europe tour you played at. I was talking to Marz about it and he thought it was a good idea, so that we can get i glimpse of what we missed.
