The Lore

Exiled From
The North Pole.

Kris Kringle IV asked his father one question: why does Christmas only happen once a year?

For that, he was cast out. Exiled from the North Pole with nothing but the fastest sleigh, his Elves, and a mother's handmade music box.

He landed in Orlando and spent a decade building a mythology in exile — a rock-and-roll Christmas rebellion that proved him right. From Frosty to Bowie, Dickens to Queen, the band built the ultimate sonic sleigh ride.

Now they're bringing the rebellion to Edinburgh.

The Roster

Meet The Elves.

Centuries old. Stripped of various honors. The actual people who taught your favorite rock stars how to do what they do. Now flying to Scotland.

Bad Santa
Kris Kringle IV · Vocals
The fourth son of the Kringle. Exiled from the North Pole by his father, Santa Sr. Landed the sleigh in Orlando and never left. Holds the power to make people believers again.
CC DeElf
Lead Guitar · The Architect
The Elf who taught Eddie Van Halen how to play guitar. Gave Bowie the power to be a Starman. Showed Vince Neil how to fluff his hair. 1907 years old. Doesn't look a day over 1239.
Elfie Nicks
Drums · The Intellectual
Head Professor at North Pole University. Snowbel-nominated thesis on "The Moral Implications of the Naughty List" — stripped over unsanctioned cloning work. The only Elf licensed to fly Santa's sleigh.
Elfie Van Whalin'
Guitar · The Wild One
787 years old. Can't even drink legally at the North Pole. Fearless. There is only the music and the moment and whatever completely unadvisable thing comes next.
Yeti Lee
Bass · The Experiment
They said it couldn't be done. Elfie Nicks combined the DNA of an elf, a yeti, and Geddy Lee from Rush in his unsanctioned North Pole lab. The result: the most ferocious bass player the workshop has ever produced. Edinburgh will be his first deployment.
Orson Elf
Director · The Architect of Chaos
Ghost-directed every holiday musical since the dawn of time. Choreographed Frosty's original meltdown. Burl Ives' original vocal coach. Rick Rubin's spiritual advisor.
