Since they ain't pushing an album, I think we might get an even better set then last time.  Which could really be something.

Now, are these the T Rex wannabes, or is that the "supersomethingelse" band?

I think you're confusing me with Rhett, who also thinks every shite band (aka bands he likes) are alt-country.
 
 Actually, it's was someone else who told me they sounded like T Rex so I should give them a listen. I'm dying to go to a show so now scraping the barrel for ANYTHING that might work.

Try the Dandy Warhols. You would need an open mind to like them, but they are pretty good.
 
 Supergrass normally put on a good show too. You must know most of their singles?
 
 there is always the pistols.......

I'm not sure I'm getting the Dandy Warhols love on the boards.  I listened to snippets of earlier songs from their website; they seem pretty quirky.  Obviously I'm missing something?

I don't think I can do it....I really don't. Like an ex-lover, just remember the good times and let it be!

listen to bohemian like you and godless from 13 tales from urban bohemia. Then try the new album, welcome to the monkey house. The new album takes a while to get its hooks into you.

Come on, one last fandango. You will enjoy it at the time, but afterward you will get all bitter and realise why you had stayed away for so long before.

Dandy Warhols are the Duran Duran of the 2000's. Dumb, vapid lyrics, very catchy singles, and lots of fluffy album filler. I don't think the singer is nearly as cute as Simon, but the keyboard player gives Nick a run for the money in terms of femininity quotient.

 I think this is pretty smart:
 
 you've got a great car,
 Yeah, what's wrong with it today?
 I used to have one too,
 Maybe you'll come and have a look.
 I really love your hairdo,yeah,
 I'm glad you like my do,
 See we're looking pretty cool, getcha.
 
 So what do you do?
 Oh yeah i wait tables too.
 No i haven't heard your band,
 Cause you guys are pretty new.
 But if you dig on vegan food,
 Well come over to my work,
 I'll have them cook you something that you'll really love,
 
 Cause i like you,
 Yeah, i like you,
 And i'm feelin so bohemian like you,
 Yeah, i like you,
 Yeah, i like you,
 And i feel wahoo, wooo
 
 Wohoo hoo hoo x4
 
 Wait,
 Who's that guy,
 Just hanging at your pad.
 He's looking kinda blah,
 Yeah, you broke up that's too bad.
 I guess its fair if he always pays the rent,
 And he doesn't get bent about sleeping on the couch when i'm there,
 
 Cause i like you,
 Yeah i like you,
 And i'm feeling so bohemian like you.
 Yeah i like you,
 Yeah i like you,
 And i feel wahoo, woooo
 Wohoo hoo hoo x4
 
 I'm getting wise,
 And i'm feeling so bohemian like you,
 It's you that i want so please,
 Just a causal, casual easy thing.
 It isn't? it is for me.
 And i like you,
 Yeah i like you,
 And i like you, i like you, i like you, i like you, i like you, i like you
 I like you.
 And i feel wahoo, woooo
 Wohoo hoo hoo x4

The Reflex
 
 (words and Music Duran Duran)
 
   
 
 You gone too far this time
 
 But I'm dancing on the valentine
 
 I tell you somebody's fooling around -
 
 With my chances on the dangerline
 
 I'll cross that bridge when I find it
 
 Another day to make my stand, oh..
 
 High time is no time for deciding
 
 If I should find a helping hand, oh..
 
   
 
   
 
 So why don't you use it
 
 Try not to bruse it
 
 Buy time don't lose it
 
   
 
   
 
 (chorus)
 
   
 
 The reflex is an only child, he's waiting in the park
 
 The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark
 
 And watching over lucky clover isn't that bizarre
 
 Every little thing the reflex does leaves you answered with a
 
 question mark
 
   
 
   
 
 I'm on a ride and I want to get off
 
 But they won't slow down the roundabout
 
 I sold the renoir and the TV set
 
 Don't want to be around when this gets out
 
   
 
 (chorus) (chorus)
 
   
 
 The reflex is an only child, he's waiting by the park
 
 The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark
 
 And watching over lucky clover isn't that bizarre
 
 Every little thing the reflex does is an answer with a
 
 question mark
 
   
 
 (chorus) (chorus)
 
   
 
 The reflex is an only child, he's waiting by the park
 
 The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark
 
 And watching over lucky clover isn't that bizarre
 
 Every little thing the reflex does leaves me answered with a
 
 question mark
 
   
 
 Oh, the reflex what a game he's hiding all the cards
 
 The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark
 
 And watching over lucky clover isn't that bizarre
 
 Every little thing the reflex does leaves you answered with a
 
 question mark
