The Hot Buttered Elves are an assortment of musicians from both coasts of the U.S. Many of them originally from the Philadelphia area, they now use the postal system to send tracks back and forth and collaborate. Their music has been described as "Christmas carols for the lo-fi set: catchy, clever, and a critical addition to any collection of lo-fi and punk Christmas recordings." (Spool Pigeon)
Since forming in 1993, the band (including over twenty members, in several different line-ups) has released eight albums on the Tapehiss Recordings label.
We would like to present you and your friends herewith our virtual present created by ACTUS on the occasion of the Winter Solstice 2008. In honour of the Festival of Light there is a new content on www. myspace. com/actus, with the speciality that our prevoius track 'The decay of the body is the other One's recomposed and recorded 2008 version has never been published before.
The creators of the organic music are wishing you lots and lots of positive energies.
that new song has a real neo-folk feel too it. then again it also sounds like freezing your ass off in a 1977 Monte Carlo that has no heater and is stuck at a traffic light that is 8 minutes long and you're already late for school. does that sound like personal experience? no way!!! ;)
woo! I'd love it! and yeah Jason and I are gonna go see the boys in Atlanta actually. Saturday the 1st. That's a bummer that they skip Philly. Oh well I'll channel good LPD vibes up your way and maybe mention it to Edward! ;0
