One of the best sets this weekend at MMS came from The Apparitions. They are based only about an hour south of me in Lexington, KY and while I had heard a tune from them beforehand, the live set really pushed me over the edge. These guys are certainly on the happy, poppy side of the indie spectrum. Combining a bit of Flaming Lips oddity and Strokes guitar infusions and you probably have a bit of a picture about The Apparitions. Even so, its not an easy task to play the comparison game with these guys. Lots of talent here, I highly suggest you check them out, especially live.
