BIO:
Holed up in a Sydney recording studio with too much caffeine under their collective belts, producer Tim Powles couldn’t resist the urge to ask about the lyrics in one of the tracks the boys were laying down. He was convinced frontman Travis Caudle was singing about little wooden elves walking across the sea. He wasn’t, but the subsequent blurry-eyed, late-night rantings about such a phenomenon wouldn’t go away, and so The Woodenelves were born.
With their roots in Perth, Western Australia, The Woodenelves formed in 2004 when frontman Travis Caudle teamed up with lead guitarist Jonathon Tiedtke. By mid 2005, they had begun their numerous treks from Perth to Sydney to record their first album at Spacejunk Production House with Powles, also the drummer of acclaimed Australian band The Church.
The Woodenelves’ album Trips Between Worlds has received widespread support with airplay on stations including the Nova FM network Australia, CIUTfm Canada, 96fm Western Australia, Coast FM Western Australia, RTRfm Western Australia, FBI 94.5fm New South Wales, Radio 2DU New South Wales, 107.3 LIFE FM Queensland and PBS 106.7fm Victoria.
Their debut film clip, for the single A Little Bit of Me has appearead on Rage, The Music Jungle and Song Writers Across Australia. The Woodenelves have a publishing agreement with Sydney company Foghorn Records and a licensing deal with Undercover Tracks in Los Angeles.
The Woodenelves have supported: Tim Rogers (You Am I) / Sarah McLeod (formerly of Superjesus) / Ash Naylor (Even) / Hugh Cornwell (formerly of The Stranglers)/ The Inches (Melbourne). As well, in 2006, The Woodenelves featured as the house band on ROVE Live and two tracks off Trips Between Worlds won awards at the 2006 Australian Songwriters Association’s National Songwriting Contest.
