The year of the MacBook and iPod was also the year I dove headlong into new music. During that time I found a number of bands who would've otherwise remained under the radar, lost to me and my friends.
Broadcast is a mid-2000 band led by the late Trish Keenan. Their music has graced many an iPod night at both the Red Room (a skateboard-inspired dive bar) and The Pike (also a dive, just not as seedy and much better lit than the Red Room) - both in Long Beach, CA. It was common for people to inquire about the music they heard; it was prior to the creation of Shazam, and I was happy to oblige. On a side note, iPod nights inspired me to DJ.
I've posted two originals and a cover (Tears in the Typing Pool). I hope you'll help spread the word about this under appreciated band.
