HELP finding this band!!! (lyric, indie, rock, cd, member)

Dylan · 07-03-2005, 06:57 PM

Hi guys, this is my first post here, and to be honest it's quite a long shot, but I figure I'll try anyway! I'm trying remember the name of a band a friend introduced me to a few years ago. Basically he gave me a CD by this band and it was great but I can't remember their name and it's really peeing me off!
OK - They are a British "indie" band and the CD was something like a 2000 release, I remember the band name began with the letter "D", but I'm pretty sure it wasn't the Delgados despite initially thinking so. I'm sure it was something like Dekota (not the 60's band The Dakotas!). Was there a band by that name, or something kinda similar in the late 90's/early 2000s? Any ideas?!!!!!

Delays? Sons And Daughters? You got anymore specificer (its a word!) details, songs or anything?

Dylan · 07-04-2005, 08:22 AM

Unfortunately not! Just remember it began with "D". I actually thought it was the Delgados until I went to buy the CD over the weekend and discovered it wasn't. Was there a British band called Dakota banging around in late
90's/early 2000's? I remember one of the songs I really liked had the lyric "I sat on a rock for most of the night" - Not much help I'm sure! It was kinda "soft" melodic indie - ie not as "heavy" as say Oasis. I even remember the band getting quite a bit of attention in NME around 98/99 but I just can't remember their bloody name!

My Googling skills have lead me to believe that they are called Delakota. Sound right?
