Although I've heard them and heard of them before I would have to say Calexico. Saw them live yesterday and it was fantastic.

They had temporarily escaped the factories, the warehouses, the slaughterhouses, the car washes - they'd be back in captivity the next day but now they were out - they were wild with freedom. They weren't thinking about the slavery of poverty. Or the slavery of welfare and food stamps. The rest of us would be all right until the poor learned how to make atom bombs in their basements.

I just watched a Leno show and this incredible being was performing. Imogen Heap. I've never heard of her but watching her perform was incredible! Like a female Howard Jones, including the hair, but much better. And a lot more attractive. What a fantastic artistic talent she must possess.... Any fans here?

i've heard of her before but never managed to check her out, she used to be a part of frou frou, can't find them either....

If I get my hands on any talent? Well, that could be tricky... But if you wish to listen to Imogen, just check her out at myspace. I think it was the coolness of seeing her playing live that did it for me though.

Yeah.... it is really nice.

I like her pretty well.

Wolfmother - silly name, but they rock like it's 1975. Sort of like if Jack White had a Black Sabbath fetish is the best way I can describe their sound. It just rocks INTENSELY.

hmm...they're playing in croatia tommorow, and i haven't heard anything by them....i might still go....

You should definitely go! I know you won't be disappointed.... Iron & Wine plays the most beautiful singer/songwriter kind of music, then they switch to bluesy swamp country rock with a twist of psychedelia. Calexico are really eclectic. In short, as the name suggests, they mix americana with mexicana and are awesome live. Fantastic musicians! The collaboration numbers with both bands are also great, almost the best of the concert.

Plus it would be nice to hear someone else's thought on "the same" concert I recently witnessed.

I second Pidds recommendation. BTW...did you find anything you liked among those bands I told you about?

i went, i saw, i was blown away...thank you for making me go Peter, you were actually the decisive factor....it was one of the best gigs i ever went to....i just got back ( it's 4:30am ), so i'll give you a detailed report tommorow....you too strummer.

Well, I hope you all know Michael Pitt the actor. Anyway, he has his own band and their actually pretty good a definate reccomendation if you were a fan of Nirvana.. His bands called Pagoda. so check em out.

I love the Michael Pitt Song "Death to Birth". But I like the acoustic version he played in the movie. I just listened to it 3 times in a row lol.

About a week ago I was searching for a similar sound to Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds. I checked out a band called 16 Horsepower. There are two songs that I am obsessing over right now; Sinnerman and Pure Clob Road. Fantastic!!!

ok, so let me begin by saying that all of your recommendations were spot on, you have a great sense for music no doubt, they're all raw, energetic...very similar to BYOP. I've only managed to download one song Richard Hell and The Voidoids. unfortunately i found the music to be a bit too old school rock and roll, even though his vocals are very much contemporary. but i suppose i can't hold it against them, it's pretty old music.

Bikini Kill was very good, however, i didn't really like the vocals and i'm a terrible sucker for well produced albums, theirs aren't. i like the raw sound of BYOP, but it's very clear that that album is extremely well produced. bikini kill on the other hand have not managed to go beyond the "we recorded this in our garage" sound....

and last but not least, Sleater Kinney, them i liked the most, in fact based on one song, i've decided to download The woods. they remind me very much of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and i'm all about the Yeah Yeah Yeahs ( at least Show your bones, i haven't managed to check out the previous albums but i have a feeling i wouldn't like them....again, i just have the feeling they're not very well produced and that turns me off ). i've chosen The woods because it's their most recent album and based on the reviews i've read, it's their best effort yet, although people keep mentioning The hot rock. also, i'm going under the assumption, as always, that the latest albums from bands are the best produced albums....(i keep harping on about the production value, sorry...)

and this fits in this thread, because Sleater Kinney really are my most recent music discovery, along with Calexico...

thanks again for the exellent recommendations....
