   About The Crosswalks
TONIGHT OCT. 30, 2008 PORTLAND, OR The Crosswalks, Simpl [ABSENTEE VOTERS] O Crosswalks, where art thou? Seldom are we treated to appearances by the local pop-rock trio of bassist Emily Vidal, drummer Dave Shur and guitarist Brendan McCracken, three songwriters who split writing and vocal duties. Whether performing a dreamlike rambling, a slice of pop bliss, or a strange split-time melody, the band balances simplicity and smarts with complex craftsmanship, a sound that sticks in the brain like a soft and fuzzy burr. It's one of the most irresistible teams in the city—and one we need to hear more often. AP KRYZA. 10 pm. Kelly's Olympian, 426 SW Washington St., 228-3669. $4. 21+.

"New Ghost Lights" is now available at CD Baby at http://cdbaby.com/cd/crosswalks2

You can also now buy our first recording, "This Was Now" at http://cdbaby.com/cd/crosswalks1

Look! It's our new video!
