Happy Rhodes are a British "rave" band, sort of like New Order, except
with drum machines and synths.  Little Earthquakes is Tori's first
backup band, who split from her early in their career and changed
their name.  I forgot what they changed it to, but they have two
must-have albums for anyone who likes Kate-like music, one called
"Smell the Glove", and another just out this year called "Break Like
The Wind".

I only heard one song by Tori, too, "Smells Like Teen Spirit", but
it was all grungy and I didn't understand any of the words.  Maybe
it was someone doing a cover of her song, I don't know.
