White Lies are supposedly the second coming of Echo & The Bunnymen. Make sure you add them to our agenda (hopefully)

[Frau_Blucher]

Mmmm...I'm digging their single "Death".

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTh9IuSTOY0

I also didn't even notice they were #2 in the BBC Sounds of 2009 to-watch list that I posted about elsewhere:

1. Little Boots
New synth-pop queen aims for the star

2. White Lies
London rockers with dark, deathly anthems

3. Florence & the Machine
A striking, fearless and quirky new singer-songwriter

4. Empire of the Sun
Australian fantasy pop heroes on a spiritual mission

5. La Roux
London synth duo aim to revive the sound of 1984

Some mixed reviews - some raves and some ripping for being derivative (awfully over-used cop-out, isn't it?). Then again, that heinous shit Empire of the Sun is on the list too, sooo....

[coop41]

I just saw some adds: Airborne Toxic Event, Dear & The Headlights, Tim Finn, Longwave, Rival Schools and Kevin Seconds from 7 seconds among the more notables for me!

[Frau_Blucher]

Holy shit. Just added...The Notekillers and The Proclaimers. [:p]

[glokstadt]

Sounds like you two will be seeing and hearing a ton of good bands again this year... Rotator and I will be in Vegas that weekend for a giant scooter weekender... Maybe one year I'll get to SXSW. [:(]
