    Clouseau - Close Encounters
    This is a group that has been HUGE in Flanders for years with Dutch (well, "Vlaams" actually) songs.
    They tried to conquer England by changing some songs to English and i'm really surprised this did'nt score...
    Chosen because ?
    - I think it has a bit of the mood that WOWY also creates
    - The singer looks a bit like early Bono imo

    Not really a Clouseau lover, but I do appreciate The Black Box Revelation, Das Pop, Admiral Freebee and Deus
    To add some more bands to the Belgians list:

    Freaky Age : Young band, but I like them, I think they are on a good way
    *Where do we go now*


    The Hickey Underworld *Future Words*


    Customs *Justine*


    An older group:
    Hooverphonic (oke, maybe they are also known in other countries, not sure about that )
    *mad about you*, I just love this song the singer has a beautiful voice, unfortunately she left the band. Also give a listen to Eden and Jackie Cane.

    that sounds good!







  2. NOTE: Jakil aren't really famous outside Edinburgh but are great. Definitely a hot prospect for the future. I've already seen them twice.

    There are other bands from Scotland but I really can't remember most of them.
  3. Sean Connery is from Scotland. You don't need much more than that.
  4. Lots of cool stuff but I am really into the belgic and scotish scene! some nice stuff (and a lot of stuff too) and I am sre holland has good things hey r just hidden under minstream like here in BR!


  5. that´s what we do! we help each other spread out what´s great here and hide what sucks
  6. Great posts there
    I had no idea Franz Ferdinand and Fratellis were Scottish actually
    Gotta love Chelsea Dagger

    Will certainly check out the Brazilian stuff later

    @ Kaurie : i'm not a fan of Clouseau either but that song really reminded me of U2 actually
    And yep wanted to post Customs too, but already had so many
    Or "Absynthe Minded"

    I think it was Gerard who posted a bootleg of theirs on this site, and I downloaded it for the hell of it- had nothing better to do...got me relatively hooked, and I got some of their studio music. They reminded me of Radiohead, and I really hold nothing against interpretations of that style of music.
