BPGB have *one* song called "Danielle" that steals the Cocteau's triplet-feel lots-of-dotted-eighth-and-sixteenth-note acoustic guitar thang. Other than that, they sound much more like, oh, Propaganda or maybe Eurythmics. With a little David Sylvian tossed in for good measure (at least lyrically anyway). And do I detect a little Kate influence in there as well? Hmmm... On a totally unrelated note (except that we have a little Kate influence too) - my brand new in-yo-face band SMEGABUCKS makes its live debut at Green Street Station on Sept. 2 - 8 PM. Be there or don't. (the name SMEGABUCKS was thought up by |>oug, so yell at him if you don't like it.) +---------------------- Is there any ESCAPE from NOISE? ---------------------+ | | |\ | jsd@gaffa.mit.edu | ZIK ZAK - We make everything you need, | | \|on |/rukman | -Fight The Power- | and you need everything we make. | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
