Another Harmonica player and a great guitarist. If you thought Amanda was good have a listen to Indiara.

Delicious. This bassist and drummer(though much maligned) my favourite combination of the many QOTSA incarnations/combinations. Awesome energy(loved Grohl's stuff as well, btw).




And "From the Basement" record and put out some excellent stuff. Worth checking out(IMO).

Harry Manx and his mohan veena, a cross between a guitar and sitar with its 20 strings.

I've just been listening to this for the first time today:



A few comments:
- Very 80's inspired, with a danceable beat, protruding bass (evoking Japan/Duran Duran) and swirling synths
- There's a jagged rhythm guitar underpinning some of the synths that gives the song a harder edge
- The male-female vocal interplay reminds me of The Human League (albeit not as striking because Phil Oakey was a baritone whereas Carl Newman sounds more like a tenor)
- Catchy but not necessarily anthemic chorus
- The vocal delivery and beats combine to make the song sound a little robotic at points ala Kraftwerk, but Kraftwerk was such a big influence on New Wave that this might just a coincidence

Far from groundbreaking, but rather a pretty good 80's New Wave song updated with modern production techniques.

I'll look into these guys further.

god damn that is a thing of beauty.

also, I’m pretty sure the chick in the brownish dress studied at the Elaine Benes School of Dance.

I saw Boz Scaggs do this at the Myer Music Bowl late 70's. He was terrific and still performing extremely well about 30 years later.
