What a cool band I discovered! They come rarely, this one, Obviously influenced from our own Catherine, I have a feeling that most here will fall for..... Check out "God doesn't take american Express" (the whole thing) It has some qualities within with obvious influence that will take you immediatle I'm sure, but deep within the track it also hold a genius of music that will take you much further. Target market is also nice. Click on the link that takes you beyond the 4 choices after you have tasted the outskirts of this odd band! www.sophelux.com/

I tried it but I have little to no success with myspace. I was able however to get Target Market to play - I'll agree that it's an odd band. There's a whole lotta schtick with this band (which in itself I'm OK with) but I just don't buy into the package. I wonder about their stated influences, and here I quote: Celestial Sophia and other Revolutionaries and freedom fighters everywhere. Miss Billy Holiday, Dr. Martin Luther King, Malcom X, Eleanor Roosevelt, Karl Marx, Gandhi, John Lennon, Kurt Cobain, Rrose Selavey, Emerson, Byron, Sherman Alexie, The EFF, John Trudell, The transcendentalists, Nietzsche, Rilke, Carl Jung, Baudrillard, Rolland Barthes, Foucaut, Lou Salome, Mark Ryden, Marion Peck, Jasper Marks, Todd Haynes,The Dada and Surrealist schools, Breton, and Ernst. Music: Flotation Toy Warning, David Bowie, Thanksgiving, Final Fantasy, Steven, Brian Eno, Kate Bush, Dresden Dolls, Shannon Wright, Tom Waits, Beck, Peter Gabriel, The Cure, Tom Yorke, Tori Amos, Acarde Fire, Roxy Music, Queen, Dylan, Beatles, Radiohead, Quasi, Tracy and The Plastics, Crossover, Bjork, Joni Mitchel, Nirvanna, Neil Young, Talking Heads, The Clash, Sonic Youth, The Jackson 5. Arnold and Blessing Semler, Virginia Rothman, Adam Klugman, Yoki, Buddha, Zuzu, Tanya Smith, Adrian Orange, Howard Wuelfing.At some point (I'll say line #3) it goes beyond "influences" and delves into a stab at panhandling.
