Indie Pop


Seattle's Minus the Bear performs "Hold Me Down" on Jimmy Kimmel Live 6/23/10.

I tried using Minus the Bear as a starting point on Pandora, and among the first to appear in the stream were:
Modest Mouse
Gravity Rides Everything
The Moon & Antarctica (2000)

Bloc Party
Blue Light
Silent Alarm (2005)

The Sea and Cake
Four Corners
One Bedroom (2003)
... All of which were harmonious matches to the elements of style characteristic of Minus the Bear's pop/rock song structure, electronica flavored backing and syncopated rhythms.

Less satisfying was in inclusion of "Time To Pretend" by MGMT.

But 3 of 4 wasn't a bad start.
