The Minders’ “Don’t You Stop”

By Jenny Shank, 8-18-06

The Minders were a key part of Denver's lo-fi indie pop scene for several years as a member of the Elephant Six Collective that included such similar-minded bands as Denver's The Apples In Stereo and the Athens, GA group Of Montreal. Frontman Martyn Leaper and drummer Rebecca Cole moved the band to Portland in the late '90s, and have endured several lineup changes since then, but The Minders have regrouped this summer to release their first full-length in three years, It's a Bright and Guilty World on Future Farmer Records.

The Minders have offered New West readers a track from the new album. Click here to listen to The Minders' "Don't You Stop."

The Minders return to Denver for a show at the Larimer Lounge on August 25. The Maybellines, Breezy Porticos, and Cowboy Curse will open. Tickets are $10. [End of article]
