Piffle is a creative force that has existed in Elvenstead for hundreds and hundreds of years. It started as a vocal group of elves, faeries, apes and more, with witches drumming accompaniment while the local fauna hummed and buzzed and barked in time. A piffle concert was a wonder to behold and more so to attend.
That tradition has endured to this very day, evolving into an ultra-modern boogie-woogy band with electric guitars and speakers and lots of strange devices.
Elven Pretsal, is their famous hound-dog crooner, Gladiola Night is a yodeler who plays boogie bass, Jingle Stargazer plays drums, and Erk Clapper plays rock and roll guitar. Together they are Piffle.
Here is Piffle with Elven singing their greatest hit, Them Hound-Dog Blues.
Wale I'ma just a hound-dog, a howlin' all the time,
I like to do my roamin', I like to do my rhyme.
Oh, woof woof, wooo! woof woof, wooo!
I was born in a doghouse, learned to bark and bay.
No one ever said, hey good dog, I never been that way.

The crowd cheers and cheers, trying to get closer, trying to touch the stars, until finally an amplified voice announces, "Elven has left the building."
