For me, one of the great things about music festivals like Bunbury is the exposure to under-discovered bands. In 2013, I thought this treat would be the Ambassadors -- but, unfortunately, they had van troubles and cancelled last minute.
This year, I would love to see a band like "The Clouds are Ghosts". They are big in Austin, but not well known elsewhere. I would love to get your thoughts -- not only on this band, but what other 'unknowns' do you think would make great Bunbury additions.
Links are appreciated.
Here is one from The Clouds are Ghosts:

^I liked that! They remind me a bit of Death Cab.
This would be my choice:

So, for sure, a thumbs up to your choice as well. I love the cut that you have shared (Call Me) -- but the previous work is also very good. In particular, I like "Broken Bones and Pocket Change". |

Thank you ... and good response. While Mr. Gnome already has a decent following and some pretty good press, I would agree that they are still mostly "undiscovered". I think that they sound very similar to another band with Cleveland roots, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. (As an example: listen to Skeletons.) It is a little too abstract for my taste -- but clearly, there is a big enough Mr. Gnome fan base to tell me that I am hearing it wrong. :-) So, I will just agree. Thanks again for the suggestion! |

I would have to agree with you. I've given the Yeah Yeah Yeahs several tries and saw them for a bit live at Bonnaroo I believe 2009, but.. I never could get into it. |

By the way, it looks like these guys (St. Paul and the Broken Bones) will be playing the Southgate House on March 2nd. Maybe I'll see you there. |
