It’s a good time for Walla appreciation these days — a noteworthy Radiohead cover for OKX, great work on the awesome Tegan & Sara’s LP, excitement over the forthcoming Death Cab record. It’s no wonder so many cool people want to be like him. Or, as the nice-guy indie pop “Sing Again” video shows … want to actually be him. There’s only one Chris and a bunch of people you know from other places masquerading as him, here. We’ll let you have your fun IDing them in today’s installment of everybody’s favorite Pacific Northwest indie rock game, Where’s Walla:

Hank is the cutest baby on this whole damn planet.
john roderick really needs to get that tooth replaced.
Great video with awesome cameos! So far I’ve seen three Decemberists, J-rod, Brent from Menomena, Carson and little Hank Meloy…whom I might add is the cutest kid ever!
3 decemberists, a ben gibbard, and a jeff tweedy child and a ben folds.
No one mentions the ex-Decemberist in the video!

Ive got a good feeling that this was filmed in Portland.
I think i saw either Tegan or Sara (maybe both?)
Was that a Sarah Vowell?

i didn’t see sarah vowell and/or any tweedy children.
Please watch a high quality quicktime of the thing instead, that youtube version got compressed really badly.

We shot in Portland and Seattle, it was shot two days before xmas and the day after so we could get everyone in the NW corridor in the extended family.
Waldo..I definitely saw Waldo.
also i believe jimmy hoffa was in the background once.
ahhh that vocal harmony sound in the bridge is awesome.
i dont wanna be chris (despite the fact that what ive heard of the album so far is quite good) but i do wanna be jenny conlee

I think I can hear Mr. Meloy singing the harmony at one point.
You’re wrong. Everything you hear is Walla except the drums.
Definitely shot in Portland, definitely shot in Portland…

I saw that Chris Walla was actually featured on some of the up and coming artists.
This video is great and all, but his former bands seemed to have had more passion. I don’t see all the hype.
Ahaha he is soooo cute. Is his album officially out yet?
