Celebration is an American psychedelic soul band based in
History
In the beginning, the band's sound as a three-piece was centered on the unique output provided by all the instruments played by Antanaitis in the studio as well as live.[2] He would play all of the music in the band including organ, Moog bass pedals, guitorgan and electric keys, leaving Ford on vocals and Bergander on drums. Their first two records were produced with David Sitek of TV on the Radio. In addition to producing, Sitek also contributed guitar parts and synths. Other noteworthy members on the albums include Martin Perna and Stewart Bogle who contributed flute and sax into the mix.
Singer Katrina Ford also performed backing vocals on TV on the Radio's songs "Staring at the Sun" from their album Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes and "Wolf Like Me" off their album Return to Cookie Mountain.
Self produced Electric Tarot: Hello Paradise (Friends Records) is the result of home/hometown recording with additional members. The tarot theme is woven into the meanings and content of the music itself.[citation needed]
