National Bird was a Sydney, Australia based indie rock band active from 1999 to 2007. It featured Dileep Krishnayya (vocals & guitar) , Tobey Doctor (drums), and either zero, one or two bass players. The band's sound was influenced by indie rock bands such as Dinosaur Jr. and Built to Spill and the live shows were known for being loud, raucous and often drunken and chaotic affairs also. The band was originally named Laissez Faire but they changed the name after a line-up change and due to the numerous other bands also using that name. Read more about National Bird on Last.fm.
Seymore Saves the World
From Minneapolis
First show since since February 11, 2011 • First Cause show since December 16, 2010 • 37th show on MN Live's calendar since June 28, 2006
From last.fm:
Minneapolis-based indie power-pop band Seymore Saves the World is made up of pianist and lead vocalist Scott Hefte (Superdanger), bassist Shawn Neary (Ex-Tapes 'N Tapes), and drummer Nate Perbix. The band writes about the position of outcast teenager and nerd. Pitchfork describes the band's sound as "borrow{ing} a great deal from similarly wry piano-based 1990s pop artists such as the New Radicals or Fastball. However, no influence more blatantly shows through these twelve songs than Ben Folds." Seymore Saves the World on Last.fm.

From last.fm:
Dragons Power Up! is a rock group from St. Paul, Minnesota, formed in 2005 by multi-instrumentalists Mike Coyne, Dan Ries, Mike Ries, and Chris Tures. In 2011, Coyne left DPU! and the music world under amicable circumstances, at which point longtime producer/friend Spencer Wirth-Davis (Big Cats!) offered his services as full-time bassist/collaborator/member. Each member drawing from his own corner of musical influences, their sound marries loose, noisy guitars with tightly-wound rhythm section and vocals atypical of today's indie rock landscape.
