When Neil Young joined Crosby, Stills, & Nash, but they became Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. Besides CSNY, David Crosby also founded The Byrds, Stephen Still and Neil Young were both in Buffalo Springfield, and Neil Young was also in The Hollies. There’s also just Neil Young in Neil Young.
When five-piece indie fav Smith Westerns broke up in 2014, the lead singer Cullen Omori went on to sing solo, while Max Kakacek and Julien Ehrlich formed Whitney.

When you devote your life's work to a craft, you keep on going despite seasons, trends, or costume changes.
Keep Me in Mind by Little Joy.
If you have ever given me control of the music in a moving vehicle and it is even remotely warm outside, then you have definitely listened to Little Joy before. Rodrigo Amarante, Fabrizio Moretti, and Binki Shapiro have only created this one, eponymous album together — 11 years ago, might I add — but it continues to be my #1 album for summer months. Best musical side project ever, IMO. Amarante is also singer/guitarist in popular, indie rock band Los Hermanos in Brazil. Moretti might sound familiar, as drummer of The Strokes (in case you forgot). And Shapiro? A relatively lesser known singer is LA. I’ve never had more trouble picking just one song from an album because I love all of them.
Happy listening,
Angela
