Elf Power played to a full house at the High Dive last night, crashing through a papered hour wall like furies enraged. They were fully on, giving everything to their performance (especially drummer Eric Harris. You, sir, were doing the spirit of Gene Krupa proud) and very little in terms of stage banter, which is exactly how it should be.

And while I'm doling praise, let me say this to the front row: Thank you so much for dancing. It's practically unheard of in this town to get your shake on, but all of you brought it. And while I may have some notes about your style, I have nothing but love for your fervor.
