Beulah is an indie rock band associated with the Elephant Six record label. The band was formed by Miles Kurosky and Bill Swan in San Francisco in 1996. Their first album, 1997's Handsome Western States, impressed Robert Schneider of The Apples in Stereo, who invited them to join Elephant Six. In order to tour in support of the album, Steve La Follette, Steve St. Cin, and Pat Noel joined the band. Beulah was originally an indie band much like the other Elephant 6 bands, often featuring horns and piano along with the standard guitars and drums, although with their fourth album, Yoko, they became more dark and experimental. Amidst rumors of disbanding, the group announced that unless Yoko went gold, they would break up. In 2004, the group called it quits. Recently, a DVD chronicling their last tour in fall 2003, titled "A Good Band is Easy to Kill" (Referring to the band's song "A Good Man is Easy to Kill," which, in turn, references lead singer Miles's love for Flannery O'Connor) was released.
