**The Wind Ups** are a twee-leaning indie pop outfit from Oakland, California, known for their scrappy charm and jangly, nostalgic sound. Active in the late ’90s and early 2000s, the band blended fuzzy guitars, sweetly off-kilter vocals, and lyrics that often teetered between whimsical daydreams and self-aware melancholy. Led by songwriter Eric Lindley (of The Ohns and The Aislers Set) and Tricia Kanne (vocals/guitar), The Wind Ups released lo-fi gems like *Confection* and *Coffee Cup* on labels like Darla Records and Shelflife, earning a cult following among fans of handmade, DIY-pop sincerity. Their recordings—including live cuts like *Live In Oakland*—feel like time capsules of a scrappier indie era, all warm hooks and shy-smile energy.
