The Sounds
Does anyone else like this cool Swedish band? I read a small article about them in Rolling Stone and decided to purchase their CD.....it's really good.

I almost bought the album last wee, but I hesitated. I want to hear what some other people have to say about them.
I saw them on Letterman a couple of weeks ago and thought they sounded really good, but when they were on Carson they sounded like crap. That didn't influence my decision though, I was just going to wait on a purchase.

They have a strong early 1980s "new wave" sound....a little like Blondie. The lead singer's vocals remind me of a husky voiced Wendy James from the British band Transvision Vamp.
I also picked up Elastica's BBC Radio One Sessions CD and X's Los Angeles CD.

Today my wife said the same thing about the Wendy James/Trans Vamp sound of her voice.
Just saw the Letterman performance and liked it.
They were in town with the Ravonettes a few weeks back so I decided to get the cd and was going to the show until at the last minute I couldn't make it.
I really like the cd and recommend it.

Oops! I thought they are British but they are actually Swedish. I edited my original post.
I saw them on Letterman as well. I would love to see them live.

...thread bump...
Has anyone seen these guys live this past summer? I am going to see Rooney this Friday and I found out that they were opening up for them (along w/ Palo Alto). I bought the album a couple of months ago and I do enjoy it, I was just curious if anyone saw them live and what their impressions were.
Thanks...

I have to say that The Sounds are the shit. For forty-five minutes they put on one hell of an energetic show. My brother and his friend have never heard them before and they loved them. I couldn't believe how good they sounded. Their lead singer rules - one has hella sex appeal when they can rock out like that. If they are coming through town near you, I recommend them whole-heartedly. She did a fine job of getting the crowd into the show. Damn, that was awesome. My wife loved them, too.
Rooney was damn good, too. They put on a fine set. My brother's friend saw them open up at Lollapalooza and he thought they sounded much better in the club we were at last night than in a damn ampitheater. They also had great energy and did a good job of getting the crowd into it.
