This year's "iPod Band", was none other than Chairlift, this trio was one that I wanted see, as with many other bands it seemed like these guys were all over the place. We stopped at The Flamingo Cantina to check them out. Caroline Polacheck blends her amazing voice with minimal electro-synth that gives Chairlift their unique sound.

The other blog I contribute to over in Austin sends us this: This one looks like a good one, As I recall last years event featured blog darlings MGMT. We get Chairlift this year who I really want to see. The event runs from Wednesday March 18-Saturday March 21.
Out of all the bands on this tour they decide to go ahead and skip Denver and a play a solo show...
Brooklyn dream-pop outfit Chairlift has announced a North American tour with electronic avant-pop artist YACHT. The Apple-approved trio will also perform at this year's SXSW and will play alongside Clap Your Hands Say Yeah's rumored last show before meeting up with Sebastian Tellier and Peter, Bjorn & John to finish out their trek.
Their latest record Does You Inspire You is out now on Kanine while YACHT's forthcoming full-length, See Mystery Lights, will make its way into stores in late Spring via DFA.
