Music Nation is a Music Video Competition for Independent Artists

Idaho, Alaska is the Pacific Northwest meeting New England in the middle of Kentucky. The band molds these distinct influences into classic indie rock that has drawn comparisons to Modest Mouse, Built to Spill, Dinosaur Jr., The Pixies, and Pavement. With a tour in the works, and plans to record a second album this summer to compliment last year's "Kissin' With The Devil," Idaho, Alaska looks to break into the national scene in their second year. The band's name, "Idaho, Alaska," comes from a song about the fifty states that Chris recalls his mother singing to him when he was young. What's the name of the song? I don't know, I'll ask her. Particularly good shows of 2007 include a coveted spot in the A Void Buster's Summer and Fall Series Showcases, opening for Wax Fang and Don Caballero at The Dame in August, and headlining The Dame with The Photographic and Bedtime in December. Upcoming shows include sharing the stage with People Noise and Lucky Pineapple, both from Louisville, KY
