so I listened to their disc yesterday after seeing them in the Coachella line-up. I got the disc for free from a friend at RCA records a few months ago, so figured I'd give it a spin.
it made me laugh (and not in a good way). it is an amalgamation of B-52s (lead vocals and backup chick vocals), The Smiths/Morrissey (lyrics) and later Cure (guitar, some vocals).
before listening to it, I would have been hard pressed to name a way that a band so obviously influenced by the above bands could truly suck, but now I know it is possible. so no, I won't be rushing to make sure I hear every note at Coachella.
