If you saw the film The Diving Bell and The Butterfly then you probably have heard at least one song by this great French band. If you haven't then, simply put, they are a French english language band that is doing a very cool Velvet Underground revival thing. They put out their self titled debut LP last year and I don't know how they haven't gotten any coverage in North America...if you need more proof check out the video for "Sing Sing":
