...piece, have parlayed not only a musical but sartorial fascination with their nation's pop culture into a sound and look that have seen them hailed as one of the most "crush worthy" bands of 2006 by influential music site allmusic.com, and "the most blog worthy band on the planet" by Ken Micallef, music critic at Yahoo! Music. Last year rollingstone.com named them one of the best bands on MySpace - now established as a crucial forum for breaking acts.

He made his name in the 1950s as a pioneer of electronic sound and went on to compose such big, vivid pieces as Light, a 29-hour, seven-part opera that took him 30 years to finish, and Groups, played by three separate orchestral ensembles at once. An influence on musicians from John Lennon to Björk, Stockhausen made news in 2001 for a comment suggesting that...
