We had the chance of catching up with one of our favorite musicians here a Modern Mystery during CMJ 2010. Nick Krill of the Spinto Band. Performing one show only at the Park the Van showcase in Brooklyn, Krill, who performed under the name Young Nick Krill was joined by Magic Mike of …and the Moneynotes, and put on a stellar show. The fun didn’t end there as the duo performed a Playtime! session with us outside of the venue. Dude who video-bombed the second song, we will never forgive you.

Weekend has also released a video from their upcoming album. You can check out “Monday Morning/Monongah, WV” below.

Bad Books Release First Video for “You Wouldn’t Have to Ask”
The Kevin Devine – Manchester Orchestra power couple have just released their first video from their self titled debut for “You Wouldn’t Have to Ask.” It’s black and white and reminds us of a New Pornorgraphers video, but its cool to say the least. The band takes a 1960’s looking turn in it which makes for a fun view!
Grandchildren Debut New Video
To celebrate the release of their latest full length, Grandchildren had Toronto director Chelsea McMullan oversee their first music video, “Saturn Returns.”
Now, two years later, Chelsea has returned to help the band re-envision their superb first single. The video (more like a short film) “Saturn Returns Part II” features the underlying message that both nature and technology want to you dead (or something). It’s not the most cheerful, but damn does it look cool.
You can see it right here.

Good Old War To Tour With Dr. Dog, Joshua Radin
Good Old War, one of the fastest up-and-coming bands on the planet, will keep to the road this fall. The band announced a bunch of supporting tour stops, with the red-hot band Dr. Dog, maestro Joshua Radin and tour mainstays Dashboard Confessional.
If you haven’t heard these guys yet, you’ve run out of excuses. Their self-titled debut has recently been picked to be part of iTunes’ Discovery Download program, which means it’s on iTunes right now…for less than ten bucks (their single “That’s Some Dream” is free).
Here is Good Old War’s first single from the album, “That’s Some Dream.” The video was shot on tour, because these guys are so busy they can’t stop to film a music video.

Playtime!: Bridges and Powerlines – CMJ 2010
On sunny CMJ Saturday afternoon, we had the pleasure of filming one of our favorite up and coming indie bands, Bridges and Powerlines. These are some of the nicest guys you will ever meet and were more than willing to play on top of the giant playground bear statue. Watch the videos below of the two songs the band performed for us.
