Neon Indian, Dream Joints – Belly Up Tavern
Neon Indian is the electronic project of singer-songwriter Alan Palomo. To prove not all old relationships are bad: an ex-girlfriend played inspiration to some aspects of Neon Indian–she came up with the band name and is the subject of the song “Should Have Taken Acid With You.” More info.
