Here’s a band that I found out about through Last.FM. I think that if you like bands like Copeland, Manchester Orchestra, and Minus The Bear, you’ll love these guys.
From As Tall As Lion’s Last.FM page:
After coming off the road in mid-2005, following months of touring in support of their Triple Crown debut, Lafcadio, Long Island-based band As Tall As Lions – vocalist/guitarist Daniel Nigro, guitarist Saen Fitzgerald, bassist Julio Tavarez and drummer Cliff Sarcona – spent more than half a year channeling their energies into crafting an album that would not only realize the lofty ambitions of these four young men but define them as a band, once and for all. The resulting self-titled album – released August 8, 2006 on Triple Crown/East West – provides dramatic evidence that they met this self-imposed challenge, and then some.
Here’s a live performance of “The Carousel”.

Chris enjoys candlelight dinners, kittens, and long walks on the beach. Okay, not really, but he does like being in Houston to check out new bands in the great indie rock band scene.
