Their album Sigh No More has been on constant rotation since I got it and I even made the trek to LA to see them. This is a show not to be missed, and at $8, it will sell out.

Due to the divergent music scene in San Diego I decided to recommend a band which falls into the genre I would call experimental. Xiu Xiu is the band's name and they are from San Jose. The one consistent component to the band is the front man, Jamie Stewart.

Well, I know I'm a slacker, but I finally uploaded the videos from Adam at that show.

Maybe it’s something in their water or the long winters that seem to cultivate such amazing singers. Until a couple of weeks ago I had never heard of Swedish singer Sofia Talvik.

Aside from the usual Brit bands, in the last few months it seems like there've been a higher concentration of bands making their way from Finland, Russia, Sweden, and Norway to name a few.
