If I m not mistaken I believe San Francisco indie quartet, Minipop, closed out my South by Southwest 45+ band experience earlier this year in Austin. This picture was taken at Bourbon Rocks during the SFxSXSW party on March 15 around 1:30am in the morning as Minipop put the capper on the big show. Like I Do is the first track on Minipop s last full length album, A New Hope, which was released late last year on independent, Take Root Records.  The song is a lush offering of dream-pop and comes to animated life in the beautiful dreamscape created by director Andrew Huang.  The video is half live action (less A-Ha, heavier on Smashing Pumpkins), with a tad of Life of Brian-like animation thrown in (e.g. spaceship scooping up bandmates). Its by far one of the best I ve seen this year. You can pick up A New Hope and this track at itunes or e-music.

Bringing us a great blend of American rock ala The Replacements, Raleigh North Carolina based, Patty Hurst Shifter released this song, Life is Mostly Waiting on their Fugitive Glue EP in 2007. Its supposedly the first in a series of three EPs that lets the band stay productive and keep releasing songs in small bursts, which will give them some nice breathing room creatively. I was hidden amongst the crowd at the PHS gig in Austin this year at South by Southwest, where they played the Dirty Dog Bar, a venue with more of a raw feel to it. This picture was among a few that I snapped that evening before rushing to the next nearest performing group on my wish list.  Good times. You can pick up the Fugitive Glue EP directly from the band at their website. [cs] Download | Subscribe | Subscribe in iTunes | Subscribe to All Spread It Around: Hide Sites
