Tonight, yours truly will be consuming some delicious tunes when the Elephant 6 Holiday Surprise Tour graces the stage at Rhino's in Bloomington. The concert was originally booked for the Cinemat, but due to overwhelming ticket sales, the show was moved to Rhino's All-Ages Club.
Why such a surge of interest in the Elephant 6 Recording Company (a loose group of musicians whose tide crested the music scene over eight years ago)? Blame indie underground cult hero Jeff Mangum. The man who brought us the Neutral Milk Hotel album -- and arguably one of the greatest albums of the 20th century -- In the Aeroplane Over the Sea has emerged from his reclusive shell and joined his Elephant 6 counterparts on stage throughout the Holiday tour. He's made appearances in New York City, Rochester, Columbus, Pittsburgh, and, most recently, last night's Chicago show at the Bottom Lounge.
I snagged two tickets (D is coming from Indy) earlier today and, if possible, will snap a few pics of tonight's festivities.
