Here are a couple of bands that you guys should check out if you get a chance. These are name you guys probably have not heard of. But good stuff....
Robyn.

From Sweden. She has GREAT stuff. Mostly unheard of here in the US. My favorite album of hers (I have them all), is Don't Stop the Music. More recently she introduced the newest number one single in the UK. Check her out, really.
Camera Obscura.

From Scotland. Really good and fresh. I'm still kicking myself for missing the Los Angeles gig earlier this year.
