Video: Youth Lagoon “Cannons” (Live at Radio Radio)
Last night, when the rest of the country was busy watching the insufferable John Calipari and his Kentucky Wildcats cruise to their eighth national championship, a few lucky Indianapolis residents filled Radio Radio to hear Youth Lagoon and Porcelain Raft. The concert was one of the spring’s finest. I was particularly impressed with the sound quality of Porcelain Raft’s set – no small feat for an artist who relies heavily on vocal and synth loops, reinforcing my belief that Radio Radio offers the best acoustic experience that Indy has to offer.
Boise, Idaho native Trevor Powers followed up by treating the crowd to a set that delivered upon the raw emotion and energetic restraint of his debut LP, The Year of Hibernation. Fortunately for any absent fans, Indianapolis video guru Daniel Arthur was on hand to document. Below you will find Arthur’s video of “Cannons”, a personal favorite and a version that raised the temperature of the jam-packed venue. Enjoy.

Video: Waters “Mickey Mantle” (QMtv Session)
Waters is the solo project of Van Pierszalowski, former front man of the now defunct Port O’Brien. We featured the band in our Band to Watch last month. MOKB Presents will bring Pierszalowski and fellow West Coast indie starlets Delta Spirit to Radio Radio on Saturday, March 24th. Tickets are $15, a pittance considering the fun that is almost certain to ensue. Waters recently visited the folks at Quit Mumbling to record one of their QMtv Sessions. The results are featured below, a stripped-down, acoustic take on the song “Mickey Mantle.” Enjoy the video and come out for the show!
