Lovescopes Theme Song

It just doesn't get more jingly jangly than this indie rock -- keyboards, guitars, hand clapping, girls and a guy singing vocals. Shumai is a Boston-baked creation with a sound that is reminiscent of Barcelona or the Rentals, and their three song disc has really piqued some interest -- its melodies are innocent, honest and well-matched with the band's fuzzy instrumentation. And besides, you can't really fail when you have song titles like "Are You Jeff Corwin Experienced?" or "The Lonely Passion of Joey Heatherton", as long as you're smart enough to carry the cleverness beyond the song titles. Shumai knocks those front-end jokes home with clever, wordy lyrics, with only the slightest hint of indie-cool pretentiousness. from Splendid Myspace Page

Born in '98. As sweet as the popsicle that you dropped on the ground the day that you saw your best friend with your sixth-grade crush. As strange as eating the popsicle anyway. Casper opened Bel*Air Studio in 2002. He is also a member of The Late BP Helium, occasional member of Of Montreal, and has toured with The Sunshine Fix and The Visitations. Kay is also a visual artist. Her insect/hardware drawings and paintings have been shown in galleries and restaurants in Atlanta and Athens, and her artwork decorates the album "Oh!". Casper & the Cookies toured the US and Japan in the last year sharing stages with Kiiiiiii!, Elekibass, Of Montreal and Keith John Adams.

The Smittens are a ve-piece indiepop band from Burlington, Vermont and like to think of themselves as a DIY twee pop explosion. Dana Kaplan, Colin Clary, David Zacharis, Holly Chagnon, and Max Andrucki, with help from the talented Emily Hilliard, switch up instruments, song-writing, and singing to create brilliantly lyrical and hyper-catchy pop songs of all colors, shapes and sizes. Formed on a whim at a party in 2002 by a group of popkids who wanted to make for their friends the kind of music they love, the Smittens have emerged as one of the country’s best-loved underground indiepop quintets, with headlining slots in the past year at the New England, New York, Toledo, and Athens Popfests. The band’s hotly anticipated third album Pop Your Heart, mixed by Eric Masunaga, will be out in summer, 2007, on Athens, Georgia’s indie institution Happy Happy Birthday To Me. The band will be touring the US in the summer and fall of 2007.
