Unfortunately, they have a commonality with many current bands by being over produced and over styled. Despite these criticisms, Tobi O&#8217;Kandi&#8217;s voice is gorgeous, much richer and fuller than Ian Curtis (if you will permit me the comparison). I also have a special fondness for Tobi O&#8217;Kandi because he was previously in a band called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=7BPTL60abEM\">Bono Must Die<\/a>. The band was eventually compelled to change their name by the forces behind the letter U and the number 2.<\/p>\n<p><object width=\"560\" height=\"340\" data=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/i5E4QUUFG9Y&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/i5E4QUUFG9Y&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" \/><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" \/><\/object><br \/>\n<strong>Kap Bambino &#8211; Dead Lazers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Wow, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/kapbambino\">Kap Bambino<\/a> sure changed their look from a few years ago when I first came across them through the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/puyopuyo\">French electro post-happy hardcore music scene<\/a> and they were all dayglo and shiny.
