ANOTHER NINETIES NOSTALGIA MOMENT

After Echobelly, the band whose videos I've most wanted to catch up on (thanks, YouTube!) is Sleeper. The 90s group, fronted by the outspoken Louise Wener, put out at least three albums from '95 to '97--Smart, The It Girl, and Pleased to Meet You, all worth picking up. Having now seen vids from all three, I'm convinced that one of the reasons they only lasted a few years and never won more fans here in the States was that this band never had great videos--even though they had a striking lead singer. Wener not only knew her way around a guitar, she also figured out along the way how to keep the cameras pointed at her.
