It's no secret that we here at Radio Free Chicago love Daytrotter. I for one have discovered more of my "favorite bands" through the music discovery site than via any other outlet. Pearly Gate Music? Young Man? The Daredevil Christopher Wright? I owe my love to all of them to Sean Moeller and his band of scamps. Even my adoration for Dawes is owed in a good portion to Daytrotter and their amazing Barn shows.
I first stumbled upon the website via Okkervil River, my favorite act since I first heard the brilliance of their Black Sheep Boy LP nearly five years back, when a link to their Daytrotter session was sent to me nearly three years ago. After anxiously downloading the band's session at DT HQ, the Horseshack, I spent the rest of my night pouring over Daytrotter's extensive archives and now, my ipod is filled with more Daytrotter sessions than it is actual albums.
It's great to see something you believe in succeed so brilliantly. Now, Daytrotter's putting on Barnstormers with everyone from Local Natives to the Walkmen, getting increasingly bigger names recording sessions, and... Making a movie? Yes! A documentary film about Moeller's baby has been filmed, featuring footage from that Barn on the 4th of July we've talked so much about, and loathe though I am to tout something I haven't seen yet, I know this is going to be great. So enjoy the trailer below and begin to feel the fervent anticipation.
They look like very talented guys who makes good music, i definitely wi'll search information about them on the web. Thanks for helping me to discover a new music.

I like seeing movie rather than shopping. And you?
