I'm the indie rocker from QE - Ari Vais - not a lurker, but sometimes bored at work at googled myself and found this board. Thanks for name-checking my episode. For some blasted reason it's never been repeated in the States (I have my theories) but it's had a nice run around the world. My band, by the way, doesn't suck the way the editors made it seem, that was actually the best gig we'd ever played. Oh! I have a new song I'm really pleased about, it's called "Wife" and you can hear it here: www.myspace.com/pelicanstheband, or if you are a guitar nerd like me, you can hear the version with the unhinged guitar solo (man!) on www.myspace.com/arivais. I'm in London at the mo', loving this incredible weather and this beautiful town and seeing all my old friends. In any case, if anyone wants to say hello, please just email me - jazzmasterflash at hotmail dot com. That's just simply because I don't quite understand how this site operates. cheers, Ari

Ari, which ep were you on?

Pelicans, not Pelican?

Hello. Pelican is some metal band from Chicago - an instrumental band. We're a little indie noise pop band, more like Weezer and Pixies and Pavement than anything more self serious. As to the other question, we were on episode 134.....second season.

I know who Pelican is. I'm just surprised you'd go with that name considering that there's already a Pelican. But maybe I have a warped idea of how big they are, considering I live in Chicago.

yeah, totally different genre (one), we'd also never heard of them, we also formed before they did.
