Mini Mansions

Mini Mansions (2010) is the debut album and only album from LA Rockers, Mini Mansions.  The band consists of Zach Dawes, Tyler Parkford, and Queens of the Stone Age bassist Michael Shuman.  Mini Mansions was founded in 2009 after the Queens of the Stone Age decided to take a break after touring in support of Era Vulgaris.  Their style has been compared to The Beatles, Elliot Smith, and Fountains of Wayne.

Like Sloan, Mini Mansions are a great mix of Beatles harmonies and power pop instrumentation.  Their songs are pop at their core, they're catchy, very catchy.  But not Lady Gaga pop, more like 90s rock/punk infused pop.

Most recently Mini Mansions were on a long tour with the band, Autolux.

There's not a lot to say more than, if you like The Beatles and the song "Stacy's Mom," you'll probably love this album.  It's a little hard to find in print, so check it out on iTunes!
