Thought I'd do a quick plug as I'm really enjoying these:
www.myspace.com/viennaditto
Found out about them as their lead singer, Hatty, is the girlfriend of A Genuine Freakshow's frontman Tim and will be appearing doing a duet on AGF's new album.
Freakshow connections aside, I think they are really jolly spiffing indeed. They do a mix of This Gift-era Sons And Daughters-style blues rock, and Portishead-style electronica. Sometimes in the same song, sometimes in separate songs. Quote on their Myspace page from Huw Stephens has them described as, "Portishead doing a Tarantino soundtrack", and that's pretty accurate.
Anyhoo, if anyone has the inclination to give them a listen (I'd recommend starting with Long Way Down on the Myspace, cracking tune) then do share your thoughts here, as they don't currently even have a PRR-sized fanbase for me to natter with!
