   About Elephant Island
We were once the quietest band in Victoria, crooning and swooning in a local bookstore. We took it seriously, carefully crafting our acoustic experiments. We wrote long songs and played them at low volumes. It was paradise. Since those heady days we have increasingly incorporated more elements of pop music - like the chorus. I know! Watch out! Ham and eggs coming right at you! (Like I said, it was "paradise.") A self titled EP was released. A full length album called Monument was released! We are very excited. Listen to a song! We took a trip across Canada and played music for people we didn't know. What was it? Paradise! l !

Gooood morning to you all dear Elephants.
and how are things in beautiful Victoria? The insane climate of Norway has forced us to seek shelter (once again) in our beloved basement studio. It sure was a nice consert we witnessed in that beautiful town of yours. Hope to come back soon:-) All the best

The comment under mine is too small! How am I going to read that? I need super-f'n-vision just to read that.

What does it say?

The Droppings?

You guys better butter your bread before the big show on Saturday. Both sides.
