Name: Noisettes
Genre: Indie
Day: Friday

Wikipedia sez: “Noisettes are an indie rock band from London comprising singer and bassist Shingai Shoniwa, guitarist Dan Smith, and drummer Jamie Morrison. They recorded their debut EP Three Moods of The Noisettes during this time, which was released in April 2005 on London indie label Side Salad Records. This led to signing internationally with Universal Music Group, who released the EP in the US on the Low Altitude imprint. Their next single, “Iwe” was released via the Transgressive label, followed by “Scratch Your Name” on Mercury/Side Salad Records; since then all releases have been on the Vertigo Records label.”

I think I can safely say that Noisettes wouldn’t get the attention they get if it wasn’t for the quirky voice of lead singer Shingai Shoniwa, because if it was a dude singing for ‘em they would be even more forgettable then they are now. Thanks to the blow up of English indie a lot of bands have got attention - some good, some bad, some average, and Noisettes fill the average group out thanks to their bland, inoffensive rock tunes. There are plenty of artists to spend time on at Coachella, so I won’t bother with these three.

Likelyhood of Seeing at Coachella: Nah.
