Just got back from a show at the Wonder Bar in Asbury Park NJ and I gotta say if you have the chance to see them get to it. The sound of the band is incredible, great guitars, drums and of course the singer is awesome. She has such a great tone and presence the energy coming from the stage is infectious.

I also have to note that I nerded out and got Lielas autograph at the show on a poster. Seriously, I had to she is smoking hot and can sing. That is like kryptonite to me.

    I LOVE THIS BAND!

    I saw them open for REM at the Royal Albert Hall in London and then saw them at Reading Fest. Incredible. Amazing energy on stage.

    Neptune is a brilliant album. Probably one of my top 3 this year.

    I've only heard "The Step and the Walk" on the radio, but I have a copy of the album.

    They're playing here in L.A. at the Roxy on Friday, 12/19. Tickets are only $16.50. Props to who started this thread, I might just have to go check them out now!

    Leila Moss ... certainly has that "she's pretty good lookin', but as a singer, she's HOT" vibe going.

    I liked the second album (Neptune), but stll think their first (Cuts Across the Land) was a bit better.

    They are gret live ... fantastic band, should be getting more pub than they do.

    I wonder if female singers have male groupies......

    They are going to be on Letterman tomorrow night(12/8/08). Should be good, I am assuming they will play Step and the Walk, not my favorite tune of thiers but I still like it.

    And The Roxy show is a headline show instead of an opening set for EoDM. Hope she wears those go-go boots.

    Really good band and Leila's lovely and a tiny thing, too. Last time I saw her she was at Virgin Megastore in Hollywood for EoDM's album release show. Once she came out of her heels she looked about 5'3".

    Just got back from the L.A. show at The Roxy in Hollywood...fantastic! They played for almost exactly an hour, which for most bands would be way too short but since many of their songs are near the 2:30 level it was fine.

    Again, highly recommended!

    I saw them here in SF last week ... not many people in the building when they went on stage, made for an eerie silence in between songs.

    Still, they melted my face off with rock!
