night boat to mega therion (NickB), Tuesday, 11 February 2014 10:31 (twelve years ago)

Kind of disappointed to find that Les Incompétents has been taken as a band name.

doglato dozzy (dog latin), Tuesday, 11 February 2014 11:52 (twelve years ago)

Rav Me Away are super-good, though. Playing Brighton on the 15th (I am playing in London, sadly).

night boat to mega therion (NickB), Tuesday, 11 February 2014 12:04 (twelve years ago)

That Ravioli Me Away/Dog Chocolate album artwork isn't gonna win over any bandname haters either.

However, RMA are indeed pretty fucking awesome as asserted.

Couldn't help but notice that the Raveonettes thread is active on sna. Really glad this one was here too.

There's this band fairly local to me called Childhood who are getting traction ATM and I can't bear to even check them out based on that name.
