I usually filter out most of the indie rock that lands in my inbox because there about five billion blogs out there already doing that. Often it doesn’t really hold much interest either. But I can’t let Scanners slip by without posting something up.

In Scanners’ “Lowlife”, singer Sarah Dailey sings with a sense of urgency that cannot be ignored. Post-wave, post-goth, post-indie, whatever — Dim Mak’s Scanners is some catchy brit pop that is like the perfect way to end this week and head into the weekend. It’s chill yet it still holds an edge. Give it a try.

i saw them at star shoes in LA after their show with the rakes. the cutest thing ever was hearing the drummer play along with the songs the DJ was playing, like groove is in the heart.

I saw them at Star Shoes as well. Despite the horrible crowd and the failure of their keyboard, it was great. I love this cd. Strangely, even being on Dimmak Records, people out in LA weren't that into them. At Amoeba, they only had one copy of the cd. Here's hoping there mini tour brought them some other fans besides me and my peeps.
