A new band for everyone, especially Lenny & Sootie
"Dry the River"
I learned of this band (from England as you probably well know) just a few days ago. Their video was on youtube as they were being signed by Sony. The suits at Sony were worrying themselves about "the over-grown beards", "the guy with his arm in a cast, and a "not very attractive lot". During this time their video "a stripped-down version of
Bible Belt" went viral!

I find their music very fresh and utterly brilliant!
I also especially like "New Ceremony" where the line "dancing to the shipping forecast" appears. Now if I understand correctly, your news broadcasts always includes the "shipping (weather) forecast". This must be unique to your country. Many of my friends ask what this means. They don't understand the wonderful humor of the lyric!
This group will go far (at least here in the U.S.)
