Indaba Spotlight: Hello Operator

Wednesday January 09, 2008 at 11:00 AM

I've been pretty bad about keeping my proclivity for pop-rock a secret which is why you're not going to be surprised that my little heart skipped a beat when Hello Operator signed up for an Indaba account.  If you haven't heard of them then you must not be from Canada, where they've made quite an impact.  Now they're working at taking the States like so many great Canadian bands have done before (Nickleback anyone? Kidding, of course).  The duo's sound is heavy pop rock interspersed with some solid harmonies to create a nice, full sound.  They have three tracks up on their Indaba page which I highly recommend listening to.  You can also get their first album, The Breaks, on iTunes.  But why am I telling you all of this?

Well, just because Indaba is Gotham-based, doesn't mean we won't give our West Coast users some love, too.  It just so happens that Hello Operator is doing a few shows out there and I wouldn't want you to miss them.  So left coasters, take note...
