just so i could feel you by my side

Minipop - Like I do

while visiting my parents in northern california a few weeks ago, i went to the first annual bay area indie music fest. in theory, they were trying to put together what most cities need, a summer fest for new bands under super indie labels or the unsigned. it was a bit of a mess, very disorganized (the sound guys they hired quit the night before), remote (it was out in the middle of nowhere), but the musik was mostly awesome, an interesting range of artists from my hometown area and beyond. one of the acts i had already heard of and knew i loved, was Minipop. they are some hometown heros of mine, that i actually found from -your life standard- because they played an awesome, well recieved set at SXSW and was delightfully surprised to know they were from san fran. tricia on vocals, is intoxicating. her lyrics are romantic and haunting, just the way i like them. they play tons of shows in california and they have an up coming show on oct 18 in nyc, i most definitely will be present. check out there myspace for many more songs. they mentioned that their official cd isn't out until october (to accompany the nyc show i am sure). funny how i got the LIKE I DO single months ago...haha. enjoy!

*who loves you?
like i do*

A New Hope

another killer song.they are truly a live performance band. quite stellar.


**i have been writing so sporadically, for this i apologize. i write when i have the inspiration (which comes often) and the time to devote to an awesome post (which occurs less frequently). I am working on my NY fashion week massive post. lots to comment on, so i am taking my time a bit.
