Get Out The Vote - “Majoring In The Arts” by @BS4BH
Blue Skies For Black Hearts is the Portland-based project of producer Pat Kearns (Exploding Hearts,
Dandy Warhols, Clorox Girls, Nice Boys, etc). They have been compared to the likes of Teenage Fanclub, the Beatles, Elvis Costello, etc. Def catchy power-pop indie rock type stuff. Also of note, the band is subject of a short sci-fi film. It was directed by Jon Griffith and written by bassist Kelly Simmons who describes the film as “sort of in the vein of Help, Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park and Purple Rain all packed into a Monkees episode.Blue Skies saves the future of rock n roll from conspiring evil professors, robots and druids, all with an underlying theme of evolution, monkeys, robots and swamp creatures.” A trailer for that is here. The band will unveil some videos spliced from the film in the future, and the full movie at their Portland CD release show (4/23 @ Mission Theater).
