 Elf Power press releases   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Elf Power are so small that despite having released three quite staggering albums of pristine psychedelic pop over the past couple of years, very few people know they exist.
Elf Power are increasingly steering away from the sun-kissed highways of California and towards the darker paths that run between Eno's 'Taking Tiger Mountain By Strategy' and 'The Velvet Underground and Nico'.
The band are currently touring in support of the release of 'Creatures' in the States and will be over here in Europe in the autumn to take the elf-gospel on the road.

 Ronnie James Dio
The year of its final effort, Dio and most of Elf were hijacked by former Deep Purple guitarist Ritchie Blackmore to serve as the basis for his new band Rainbow.
The band Dio released its first effort Holy Diver in 1983, an album that quickly achieved platinum sales and established the quartet as one of the prominent stadium acts of the 80s.
Dio (the singer and the band) continued to remain active throughout the 90s and 00s, their status always remaining solid in the heavy metal community regardless of the inclination of mainstream tastes.

 Ronnie James Dio, real name Ronald Padavona, was born in Cortland, NY, on July 10th 1940   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Later, his band simply became “The Elves.” Perhaps the choice of this fantasy creature as their mascot is reflective of the vertically challenged nature of most of the members of Ronnie’s band, especially himself.
The band’s other guitarist, David Feinstein, who suffered a broken ankle from the accident, says that the only thing he remembers about the whole incident was waking up the next day in the hospital with Ronnie in the other bed next to him.
There is the Elf era, the Rainbow era, the Black Sabbath era, the old Dio solo era, and the new Dio solo era (1989 to present), which would have to include the album Dehumanizer.

 ELF POWER WINTER IS COMING BY ELF POWER ON SHIFTY DISCO
Elf Power have a refreshingly frank attitude to an industry that is wantonly steeped in blag, verbosity and dense subterfuge.
Frank admission, or not, this is an unfair testament to a band that show a genuine talent for transforming even the most hackneyed parlances of rock into the most delicate and off-kilter arrangements.
Eventually the band signed with Shifty Disco in the UK releasing the superlative, 'Jane' as part of the label's cult status 'singles club' in late 2000 followed by the shockingly up-beat,' High Atop The Silve'r in the April of that year.

 No Life Til Metal - CD Gallery - Elf
Elf was an early band of Ronald Padavona, now more known as Ronnie James Dio.
Elf was produced by Deep Purple Roger Glover, who certainly brings some of the Purple vibe to this record, especially on songs like "Hoochie Coochie Lady" and "Sit Down Honey." Absolutely an essential disc for Dio collectors and anyone who is interested in good 70's rock 'n roll.
It wouldn't be until Ritchie Blackmore "borrowed" Dio and his entire band (minus guitarist Steve Edwards) to record his first solo album "Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow" that Dio became somewhat of a superstar.

Now, eight years later, the band that was never meant to be is set to release its fifth record and go on a big tour of Europe, Japan and the States, but like many of the band’s songs, Rieger sounds neither excited nor surprised.
Unlike some of the band’s friends and collaborators linked to the Elephant 6 collective (a loose coalition of psychedelically oriented bands clearly influenced by the Beatles and the Beach Boys) Elf Power tends to use the darker elements of the Velvet Underground, T. Rex and Neil Young’s styles as its muse.
In the meantime, though, the band is preparing to hit the road in May, when it will be bringing its show to the west coast, Texas and Chicago, followed by festival dates in Europe in August, an east coast tour in the fall and Japanese dates in the winter.

ELF ProTech accomplishes what many said was impossible: it significantly reduces your exposure to extremely low frequency (ELF) magnetic fields emitted by monitors - without altering internal components and without costly exotic metals.
ELF ProTech is specially processed for high magnetic permeability, which means ELF magnetic fields are attracted to and absorbed by it.
ELF magnetic fields are emitted by all monitors and video displays, and can be detected at a distance of several feet all around the display.

That the range of Elf Power is so broad comes as little surprise, given their past approaches, as well as their previous affiliations (muti-instrumentalist Laura Carter was a member of Neutral Milk Hotel).
Lyrically, the band foregoes the abstract supernatural imagery of their past releases for a more straightforward lyrical approach, with songs about the effects of advertising in modern America, love songs and even strange, autobiographical stories about meeting up with a gang of beggar children in Warsaw.
In Elf Power's sixth full length, we witness the group return to their straight pop punk songs like in the days of "When the Red King Comes," which unfortunately is my least favorite of their efforts.

 The Navy's ELF System   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The acronym ELF, which stands for Extremely Low Frequencies, is one of a number of band designators defined by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) to name bands or ranges of the electromagnetic frequency spectrum.
The ELF frequency range is critically important to the Navy because of its value in providing a way to communicate with submerged submarines.
One of the great difficulties associated with the use of ELF for communication purposes, is the problem of generating a useful signal.

This ELF Converter "moves" the ELF band up to your FM radio or shortwave radio to allow you to listen to ELF magnetic fields between 0.1 Hz to 45 Hz.
It is NOT tuned to any particular ELF frequency, but you can tune it peak it to any ELF frequency you want using a capacitor across the ferrite coil.
By adjusting this control you can make the ELF signals give bursts of white noise thru the radio, or you can adjust for a continuous flow of background hissing, allowing a "0 point baseline" to be set on a chart recorder.

He is renowned for his consistently powerful voice and for popularizing the 'horns' hand gesture in heavy metal culture (formed by closing the thumb over the middle and ring fingers, while having the index and little-finger extended).
After a few albums with Rainbow, Ronnie left the band due to creative differences (Blackmore had wanted to take the band in a more commercial direction), and was recruited by Black Sabbath in 1979 to replace Ozzy Osbourne.
In 1982, during the mixing of the live album Live Evil, internal band problems and nasty (unfounded) accusations developed, which lead to Dio and Appice quitting the band to form Dio.
