>>Fans of Kate Bush (and I don't suppose there are any in

Check out the song "Beneath The Willow" which sounds very Kate.
Other comparisons for their sound include Sarah Maclachlan, Poi
Dog Pondering, The Pogues, Prefab Sprout, Kirsty MacColl, Jane
Siberry, The Go-Betweens, and Timbuk 3.

>>Five Guys Named Moe are a quartet (no one named Moe of course!)

>>- Meg Lunney:  vocals, piano, organ, keyboards, accordian
