Indie rockers don't really do red carpet arrivals. The independent recording world exists for the most part outside of the bubble of light created by a media pit full of photographers. It was a blessing, then, that the first flash-bulbed arrivals to the Atlantis Music Conference and Festival 2008 opening party at Midtown's swank Opera club happened before sunset, keeping our sheltered, singer-songwriter-listening journalist types' corneal damage to a minimum. But then the evening got pretty iridescent pretty fast.
