IronLung: get their album 'The Three EPs'.. it fucking rules! Or their new one: 'Hot Shots II'.. not as good as 3EPs but still worth a listen.
If you want a specific song get 'Dry The Rain'... one of the best things I've ever heard.

It's not an EP but a compilation of 3 Eps (hence the name.. The Three EPs). so there's 12 songs on it

the Betas are shit hot, try to see them live, fantastic. the Three EPS is a good starting point, but check out King Biscuit Time, its a solo project of the lead singer, more great stuff, the first albums a bit hit and miss, but Hotshots II i think is a great album.
The Beta Band are one of my favourite bands.

I agree, I dont think I would have given it a second listen if I had not heard one song I liked.....
But overall, "The Beta Band" is a pretty shitty cd.

beta band has a few EXTREMELY good songs and then alot of other "so so" stuff that i think is intentionally "so so" just to throw everyone off. they are attempting to be slightly less gratuitous than some bands i believe.
they are honostly a great inspiration to me in ways. even the bad stuff they do is commendable in its experimentalness yet still classicalness. something completely new that only seems completely familiar. if that makes sense.

The 3-ep's is easily their best but Hot Shots II is also very good. They can get a great laid back groove thing going when they want to. IF you ever get the chance to see them live GO! Absolutly amazing.

i saw the beta band open for RADIOHEAD in vancouver.....had never really heard of them except for the song on the 'high fidelity' soundtrack. they were decent.'dry the rain' was the song i most remember liking....thom spoke fondly of them and ya gotta respect what an artist like thom says about ANY band =]

That's their eponymous debut album. I think they stole the picture from somewhere, but made changes to it.
