A star water polo player chooses music over medals, and begins writing Minipop songs. An evocative songstress decides that music can be healing, and joins in on the songwriting process. A religiously cynical guitarist from Brooklyn transplants to Tucson, quickly realizes his error and progresses to San Francisco. He is discovered by the duo and decides that Minipop fits him just fine. A melodic heroine searches for solace in the most beautiful city in America. She chooses the bass guitar and joins the family. An 18 year old indie music savant drums her way into the hearts of a band that knows she is perfect for them. Luckily, she agrees. We are Minipop, 3 girls and 2 guys creating dream-pop music with an emotional vision.

Some folks find it difficult to get past the low-key charm and obsess about the cuteness of The Skyflakes. With four out of five members of the band related to someone else in the band, one recalls the endearingly earnest cinematic or televised portrayals of kids playing rock in more innocent times, minus the horrific outfits the Brady kids were forced into when they were turned into pop stars. Yet, a closer listen or look at the Skyflakes' lyrics provide something more than just endearing cuteness. Musically they are quite tight with well-crafted pop melodies, hooks, and harmonies.
