(2007)<br /> INFLUENCES: The circus, Nina Simone, old films and Peter Sellers<br /> <br /> IMHO: I hadn't listened to a band with such raw energy in a long time. I actually had a dream last week (Feb 2008) about rocking out to The Noisettes. I am pretty sure I dreamt the song "I WE". Strange. I doubt Freud would have an explanation for that. Shingai has a voice that reminds me of <a href="http://www.skinmusic.net/">Skin</a> (from Skunk Anansie), but Shingai's is more velvety, with more texture. What a little gem. If you like short, fast, punked out songs, this is your thing.<br /> <br /> FAVORITE SONGS: "Scratch Your Name", "Sister Rosetta", "Bridge To Canada", "I WE"...<br /> FAVORITE ALBUM: "What's The Time, Mr. Wolf?"<br /> <br /> WHAT OTHERS SAY: "Their music is a chameleonic mix of anthemlike ballads, high-pitched 1970s glam rock, distorted guitar riffs, and grungy headbanging rhythms, with Shoniwa's jazzy voice leading the march", <i>taken from <a href="http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1285/is_3_37/ai_n18791194">this webpage</a></i>.<br /> <br /> Tue, 05 Feb 2008 20:27:10 -0500 http://twangtone.com/b/index.php?/archives/142-guid.html
