about

(2000) The debut album recorded live during 6 shows in 1999/2000 at the band’s home base of The Lizard Lounge. Old-school D’Elf… The perfect place to start, “…everything from John Zorn to Chemical Brothers to bebop to John Cage to King Sunny Ade sonically exists on As Above, which blasphemously makes Club d’Elf a modern day William Blake.” – Jambands.com
