Really enjoyed your Elephant Revival review! We've crossed paths with those guys on our travels and always enjoy hearing them. Thanks for shining some light on the little guy!

Hi Melissa
Thanks for checking in!
One thing I really like about PopMatters is that they review loads of people... which means I get to hear tons of stuff I never would otherwise. It's not all great, and sometimes I write pretty negative reviews, but a lot of the time these tiny bands are more inventive and fun and accomplished than your arena-filling acts. So thanks for noticing! Yeah, I thought Elephant Revival were pretty good. And The Builders and the Butchers? Holy smoke--what a band!
Cheers & stay in touch

PS Still waiting for that Honolulu gig...
I'd like to send you a copy of our new live album--not for work/writing, but just because I don't think we'll be making it to HI soon (which *does* make me feel sad) and it'd be the next best thing to a real show. If you'd like one, feel free to send me your mailing address to tsf@thestereofidelics.com and I'll get one flying over the water to you!
Hope all is well!
