Q: Voulez-vous ecouter Suki Brownies avant les dudes de Pitchfork?
A: They're not on Pitchfork, All Music, or Amazon yet, but Suki Brownies are worth a listen.
The Brownies formed in 2004 in Lyon, France, when guitarists/childhood pals Romu and Joe met Suki, a punky Brit chanteuse. Like the Coneheads, they come from France but talk English.
Check out "Papa," a bouncy, three-minute pop ode to childhood rebellion and messy bedrooms.

Très catchy -- and as with a lot of great pop songs, it's somehow familiar but new-sounding at the same time. I swear it could have been a big alt-rock radio hit in 1996, except it came out in 2006 (or possibly 2007 -- I can't locate a release date for the band's S/T debut, although it's available for purchase right now directly from the band). Can't you Clevelanders imagine hearing this on WENZ 107.9, back in the day?
For more on the band, visit their official site, or read the poorly translated biography on their MySpace. Their homepage says they're "currently in search of distributors, record companies, labels as well as gigs in order to promote the release of their first album." So if you happen to be any of those things, keep them in mind.
please comment. it makes me look popular.
