It sounds like one of those philosophical puzzles. When is a band not a band when it's I’m not a Band who are a band and not well not really a band. Main non band member, classical musician Stephan J is joined by other non band member Kassandra P to create a sound that melds classical, electronic beeps, industrial noise with the cutest vocals you'll find this side of a Care Bears picnic. It sounds like Mozart joining Daft Punk to cover early Kraftwerk and couldn't be more European if it decided to wear lederhosen and a beret and ditch it's currency to join the Euro.
Check out their cover of Joy Division's 'She's Lost Control' which manages to be both reverential and revolutionary in it's treatment. They've managed to make it sound fresh and new yet like the original. A difficult trick to pull off.
They may not be a band but they're definitely my favourite non band around at the moment.
