going to gigs, sitting around going 'oooooh' whilst hearing new bands for the first time, drinking tea.
...anybody who has an imaginative taste in music and likes to listen to something 'a bit different'. We like bands who don't imitate others, who stick by their own guns, whose main musical influences are the tunes they really love (rather than what's 'a bit groovy' at the time), where you can hear their own musical and social backgrounds... oh, and we like it when they ride bicycles and look good in hats, too.
Too many to list in full... here's a few though - Beatles, Beach Boys, Beachwood Sparks, Mystic Chords Of Memory, Frausdots, The Velvet Underground, Jellyfish, Clientele, Monkees, Byrds, Arcade Fire, Jason Faulkner, Circulus, Brian jonestown Massacre, Stone Roses, Rolling Stones, Paris Motel, Hal, Sufjan Stevens, Midlake, Ben Lee, Happy People, The Tyde, Dr. Dog, The Clash, Super Furry Animals, Bob Dylan, Jesus & Mary Chain, Led Zeppelin, My Morning Jacket, Phoenix, Mellow Drunk, Ramones, Kinks, John Holt, Public Enemy, Supergrass, Talking Heads, Bruce Springsteen, The Flaming Lips, The Doors, The lovin' Spoonful, The Strokes, The Maytals, Peoples Revolutionary Choir, Robert Johnson, Love, Sean Lennon, blah blah blah...
