The Shins.
I was introduced to The Shins years ago when working on a TV show called "Gilmore Girls" (yeah, I know, chick show. but I challenge you to find a show with more developed characters :P). My boss' best friend was a music freak and would burn cds for me. The Shins was one of the first ones she gave me and I was an instant fan. We went to see them at the Troubador in LA and I was shocked that the place wasn't packed.
About a year later, Zach Braff used them for Garden State and they started to get more attention. But now they seem to finally be hitting the big time. All over commercials and movies, but their music is still amazing.
*beautiful little video with a cool backstory*
I just wanted to share these videos for the fans who haven't stumbled upon this "show" yet. Chris found it a while ago, I just remembered I could grab it for Uber.
Cheers!
