never seen them live, but their recorded tracks are pretty mediocre.
Interesting, and somewhat catchy the first couple of times around, but for me it got old FAST.

Agreed! I have not heard the first one either, don't know why, really. I saw them live as an opening concert in last years Roskilde, and despite the poor sound on the sexonst biggest scene (the green?), the concert was great!

the beta band is excellent. I think they just make a point not to try too hard.

in my mind the beta band are some of the finest purveyors of pop in this age... it's a tricky thing to pull of and i'd be hard pressed to think of more than a few pop bands that i like right now... Wilco... Simian is decent... ...?
