Las Cabriolas

When I first heard of Las Cabriolas, I figured they'd be a Spanish-influenced band of some sort. Turns out they're not, really. They're based in Boone, NC - specifically Appalachian State University.

Unfortunately, the best song I've heard from them isn't available on their site (bastards) - The Heist appears on !Your New Doctor!.

Why do I like these guys? Well, for starters any band that calls it's "About The Band" page "Gestalt" has to get some credit. Plus, since they started in '00 (i.e. after the Third Wave crashed) they're pretty much guaranteed not to be in this gig for the money.

Las Cabriolas - Sit And Wonder

Las Cabriolas - Gotta Make You Want Me

Las Cabriolas - Tell The Truth

If you can't find either of their full-lengths anywhere, Las Cab are also included on the usual boatload of compilation discs. Still Standing is the biggest (where they contribute "Leaving Town". Other comps include "Underground Screams" on Asian Man Records, and "Ska Weekend" - I'm not sure where to find that disc, though.
