Fembots are go!
I had such a hard time taking these guys seriously, I wasn't even interested in checking them out, their name was such a turn-off for me. I had this feeling they would be this indie-pop joke band, with tunes that weren't really funny. Boy, was I wrong.
The Fembots are much more serious than that and their music, well, it's something else entirely. You could probably put the alt-country tag to them, but that's like saying the Scud Mountain Boys are alt-country. It just doesn't paint a complete picture. And don't get me wrong, there's a sense of humor in their songs, it's just a bit darker than you might expect.
Check them out, I think you won't be disapointed.
Fembots - 1000000 Dead End Jobs
Fembots - Small Town Murder Scene
More bands should use the saw, don't you think...such an eerie, otherworldly sound.
Visit their site as well, they've got a couple of music videos up there as well as a couple of other tracks (although the links seem to be dead at the moment).

Sounds like the singer from Primal Screen. Then thow in Galaxie 500 and the Pouges (with out the accent) for good messure.
Primal Scream...didn't think of that, but there is a similarity there...
Good to see you back! Missed your comments.
