British Sea Power, Secondhand Serenade, The Deadly Syndrome October 21, 2007

British Sea Power mines '80s new-wave influences like Echo & the Bunnymen and Joy Division. Onstage gimmicks range from wearing matching clothes to having unusual props. But the band more than makes up for their eccentricities with their music, which includes their debut, 'The Decline of British Sea Power.'

Drawing influences from art-pop makers like Belle and Sebastian and the Magnetic Fields, Oh No! Oh My! delivers an assortment of catchy pop melodies with a wholesome - and somewhat quirky - charm. The trio (touring five-piece) is made of Austinites - Greg Barkley, Daniel Hoxmeier and Joel Calvin.
