Mini Mansions are a three-piece psych pop band from Los Angeles (w/ Michael Shuman from Queens of the Stone Age), who serve a mix of baroque-pop requiems, Motown eulogies, and Mersey-era break beats. Let's just say it's like The Zombies playing at ODB's funeral.
Formed in January 2009, Mini Mansions have toured the US as main support for Them Crooked Vultures and Autolux, as well as played with bands such as The Dead Weather, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Spinnerette, and Sleepy Sun.

touring in support of their new single "Monk b/w Heart of Glass"

You can check out some of their tunes at myspace.com/MiniMansionsMusic. They are currently finishing up their debut full length record at Pink Duck Studios (Queens of the Stone Age, Them Crooked Vultures, Arctic Monkeys, Eagles of Death Metal), which should be released Summer 2010.
The Greff Band is classic roots rock raised on the Canadian plains. Sons of a farmer turned preacher, the Greff brothers were raised on old country gospel. With the recent release of their self-titled debut album, The Greff Band continues to play music the way it should be played, honest and from the soul.
Minto is a five piece folky, rock and roll band from Vancouver. Hailing from all over Canada, these five friends starting making country tinged folk music about five years ago and slowly progressed into a stomping good time of a band. Their first album, “Fields and Factory Floors” was a lofi gem with some mix-tape hits. And after sonically changing it up, the band decided to record a second album with indie rock super hero, Steve Albini, in Chicago, Illinois. The result was “Lay It On Me” which is getting critical acclaim. The gang gigs constantly around BC and Western Canada, and have decided to take their beer soaked, sweaty show on the road, coast to coast. If you get a chance to see or hear them, be prepared for a fuzzed out, smoke filled, gospel show that is way closer to damnation than salvation.
