By the time the Temper Trap’s single “Sweet Disposition” was featured in a recognizable Diet Coke commercial during the Oscars, they were already on iPods across the nation thanks to a key placement in the indie music love-fest 500 Days of Summer and a breakout performance at SXSW in 2009. The Australian alternative band set out on their first headlining tour of the US earlier this year and made a stop at Coachella. They are back for more in a fall tour that began in August which included an appearance at Austin City Limits and will make a stop in Pomona before jetting off to Mexico to play with the Pixies. Go to hear their self described “inspiring montage song” single as well as the rest of their dream-like tunes.

When not running the OCWeekly.com and OC Weekly’s social media sites, Taylor “Hellcat” Hamby can be found partying like it’s 1899.
