Mixel Pixel, 'Contact Kid' (Kanine)

Mixel Pixel is like an overly decorated t-shirt, one that started out as a pristine white t-shirt. Sure it was simple, but it was classic.

Both Britt Daniels and Wilson possess a laidback, blond raffishness that charms ladies from both sides of the Rio Grande. Both the band and the actor have a dry, almost effortless sense of humor that radiates from their music and persona (respectively).

It was a dark and steamy night on Pier 54 when the nubile young bands Rock'n'Roll Soldiers, OK Go, and the perennial favorites the Donnas rocked the stage to a near-capacity crowd of adoring fans at the second installment of Hudson River Rocks, presented by Spin.
