Andrew Bird. Could show Peter Bjorn and/or John a thing or six about how to whistle live.
The Mooney Suzuki. This is the guitarist for The Mooney Suzuki, Graham Tyler. That is the bar he is standing on. Any questions?
Matt and Kim. I can’t think of a better pop duo to watch while eating complementary quesadillas.
Kaki King. Kaki + slide guitar + digital loop pedal = brilliance.
The Walkmen. There are many things in this world I do not understand. One of them is the reason why The Walkmen are not massive.
Albert Hammond Jr. It is amazing how much the dude from The Strokes can exactly like a dude from The Strokes.
The Pipettes. These are The Pipettes. Helpfully, they have a song entitled “We are The Pipettes.” (Note: They pronounce their name so it rhymes with “regrets.”)
Pete Fucking Townsend. Enough said.
Is Mr. Tyler of the Mooney Suzuki playing his guitar that’s made of wood from the bar at the Absinthe Bar in New Orleans? If so, that’s heavy meta, man.
