The Pigeon Detectives

[M17TT C]

There an indie band from Leeds. I first herd about them at Reading Festival 2006 where I seen them purely because they had the most interesting name out of the bands that were on at the time and they were excellent. Not sure how many songs they have released yet but 'I Found Out' was released on the 6th. They got a MySpace with a few other tunes on and are definately one to look out for in the future. You may of herd You Know I Love You on the radio as it seems to be played quite a bit on XFM up here!

Yes, it does matter. Marketing is a key factor

The Beatles wouldn't half been half as succesful of they had got hold of the name Napalm Death first.

The Beatles were The Quarrymen and The Silver Beatles before settling on the name The Beatles and achieving auccess

Vince Fournier wouldn't have changed his name
Marvin Lee Aday wouldn't have changed his name
Harry Webb wouldn't have changed his name if it wasn't important

When I first heard them I thought 'just another 2006 britpop band' but the more I hear the more I like.
Yet another lot to spend money on.
