oh. They don't play music in Alaska, except for country and rap. But does that really even count?

i don't know what you've heard of but of the lessor known bands I was really impressed with MGMT.  They put on an awesome show and have made me officially like the retro synth-rock revival we've got going on now.  Their song "time to pretend" was in a snowboard trailer i think, i've heard it somewhere.  But I'm pretty much obsessed with this song now:

CSS was also a weird pretty cool performance.  They are known for having one of their songs as an ipod commercial.

And a local Austin band called Electric Touch also impressed me a bunch.

And as usual The Black Keys just rocked shit.
