Mazzy Star

The band Mazzy Star with lead singer Hope Sandoval been dedicated a WWW page with lyrics, pictures, etc and, of course, there should be another Mazzy Star Page. Don't forget to take a look at the Mazzy Star Newsgroup.

Hope Sandoval appeared as guest singer on 'Sometimes Always' by The Jesus & Mary Chain; check the Videoclip (~2.2MB, Quicktime-Movie I guess).

PRAM and other (including former) Too Pure bands

Pram are a group of musicians from England, creating a sort of strange sounding, wonderful music. One will most likely notice Rosie's vocals, the keyboard and sometimes appearing trumpet sounds. Their records are released on the too pure record label (remember P. J. Harvey and Stereolab?) along with other bands including Moonshake [by James S. Javenkoski] (now on an american label), Laika and Long Fin Killie. Not to forget Minxus, Mouse on Mars and other bands there (There might be one or the other I don't like. Take a look at the Pram Homepage by S. J. Kirk. It doesn't contain much material but I still hope that things improve.
