BPGB have *one* song called "Danielle" that steals the Cocteau's
triplet-feel lots-of-dotted-eighth-and-sixteenth-note acoustic guitar
thang.  Other than that, they sound much more like, oh, Propaganda or
maybe Eurythmics.  With a little David Sylvian tossed in for good
measure (at least lyrically anyway).  And do I detect a little Kate
influence in there as well?  Hmmm...

On a totally unrelated note (except that we have a little Kate
influence too) - my brand new in-yo-face band SMEGABUCKS makes its
live debut at Green Street Station on Sept. 2 - 8 PM.  Be there or
don't.

(the name SMEGABUCKS was thought up by |>oug, so yell at him if you
don't like it.)
