Land Of Confusion
In yet another sign of my approaching senility, I find it harder and harder to figure out who is who on the ever-expanding indie rock landscape. I'm always confusing one band for another (and this is off the top of my head):
Brakes, The Rakes, The Grates
The Cassettes, Cassettes Won't Listen
Cloud Cult, The Cloud Room
Dirty Pretty Things, Death By Sexy, Dirty On Purpose
Wolf Eyes, Wolf Parade
Wolfmother, Guitar Wolf
Guillemotts , Two Gallants
Califone, Calexico
Catfish Haven, Hootie and the Blowfish (just kidding!)
The Black Keys, Black Heart Procession, The Black Angels
Rock Kills Kid , Boy Kill Boy
Mates of State, Hope of the States
The Noisettes, The Pipettes
Engineers, Editors
French Kicks, King of France
Mya, M.I.A., Sia
Pony Up, The Ponys
There's also a band I keep confusing with TV on the Radio, whose name escapes me at the moment. I'll add more as I think of them. Feel free to add your own in the comments.
Add Forget Cassettes to your cassettes group.
I dunno...I tend to confuse a lot of indie bands not because of their names but by their tired, predictable, sound-alike songs.
Tits On The Radio?
The band is currently on a hiatus; Wheeler and Gavurin are a couple and are currently raising their two children. As of 2006 they have been linked with John Craven (of Newsround & Countryfile fame) to record a new album (Babo On The Kabo; EMI).
