Empire of the Sun – Walking On A Dream: It came out a while ago but I just talked to a few people who haven’t seen this epic video yet so I have to post it again. Walking On A Dream is the debut single from Australian duo Empire Of The Sun. The track is taken from the similarly titled album, out now. The video was shot in mid 2008 in Shanghai, China. Directed by Josh Logue of Mathematics.
Are you enjoying Noise Pop Festival? Well if you live out here in Bay Area you should or a least should have. You see, Noise Pop wraps up today with No Age at the Bottom of the Hill and Les Savy Fav and The Mae Shi at the Mezzanine. I unfortunately have been missing out due to a extremely busy work schedule. But what I’ve been hearing from The Bay Bridged, ipickmynose and Hippies are Dead, it’s been going very well. The rest of this week looks promising as well. Particularly this Thursday with M.Ward at the Palace of Fine Arts Theatre, theSTART at the Bottom of the Hill, Soilwork at Slim’s, Pop Levi at The Independent, Cut Off Your Hands at Popscene, and The Limousines at the Rickshaw Stop. Another good week in the Bay Area. See you out there!
