I think that I mentioned them on here a few months ago. I like them but I wasn't too sure from the first album. I saw them play on Jools Holland last year and appreciated what it was that made them special. It's going to sound a bit strange but they reminded me of Kid Creole and the Coconuts, not musically, but the effect that they had on me. KC & the Cs was just a band making superficial music until I saw them play live, when it hit me what it was all about. Another one was Was, not Was - fabulous live.
All of the above had good songs to take them through and bass-lines to kill for.
