I've had The Czars on all day. They made 3 GREAT CDs:

Before...But Longer

The Ugly People vs The Beautiful People

Goodbye

From 2000 - 2004. One of the most criminally overlooked groups ever! Vocals, musicianship, arrangements, production to die for! Kind of a cross between The Left Banke, Procol Harum and The Flaming Lips. Baroque flavored, keyboard-based ballad-pop w gnarly guitars thrown on to great effect, as well as trumpet, cello, flute...sometimes acoustic, sometimes hugely processed, sometimes both combined for a very heady brew! Truly great stuff!
