Portland band (formerly of the town settled by Mr. Albert B. Kerkee) that made it big - The Shins - and their "Australia" video. Clearly filmed in Oregon during the winter. And clearly a page taken from The Smiths play book (link SFG - Safe for Gabriel).
Incidentally, Johnny Marr, the lead guitarist for The Smiths way back when, is now the guitarist for Modest Mouse, an Issaquah, Washington band now also based in Portland. They met when Marr was recording an album here. Modest Mouse with Marr is the author of this tune, "Dashboard", which I find surprisingly catchy - and funky - for a Pacific Northwest alt-rock band (video images NSFG - Not Safe for Gabriel).
