The Elephant 6 Holiday Surprise Tour is well under way, featuring members of Olivia Tremor Control, Neutral Milk Hotel, Elf Power, Circulatory System, the Music Tapes, and others performing a medley of songs from Athens’ twee pop heydays.
One of E6’s most elusive characters, Neutral Milk Hotel frontman Jeff Mangum appeared on stage for the tour’s stop at The Knitting Factory in New York City on Sat., Oct. 11th. Brian from The Daily Cross Hatch recorded some videos of the performance, including Mangum performing during Olivia Tremor Control songs, “The Opera House,” “I Have Been Floated,” and he even joins in for Elf Power’s song, “The Arrow Flies Close.”
The videos from the performance can be viewed over at Pitchfork.
