Bart & Friends is a band from Australia formed in 1998 and fronted by Bart Cummings.
I'd say the band is a super band, because it's formed by members from some of the greatest indie bands from the past 15 years. I'm talking about The Lucksmiths, The Cat's Miaow, Hydroplane, Black Tambourine, Fred Astereo, The Shapiros, The Pines, Summer Cats, The Zebras...
They make short pop songs with a breezy, early 90's feel; with a musical aesthetic and timeless melodies that sure have appeal among indiepop kids everywhere.
Their latest album 'Stories with the endings changed' was released by Lost and Lonesome (owned by band member Mark Monnone, previously from The Lucksmiths).
ps: how can one not love a musical project that has Pam Berry involved?
