In the US we always speak about the British Invasion as a important
moment in US music history and consider the current thrown holder to be
Oasis. Well I foresee a new invasion as the neighbors to the north are poised
to
make some serious noise on commercial radio. We're all familiar with angst
driven female rocker Alanis Morissette and she's told us that
"You Oughta Know" what the next big thing is going to be. But you might not
know who will make up the second wave and the front runner has to be
Barenaked Ladies with their fun, creative and catchy tunes ready to
snatchup
post-angst radio listeners longing for something light.
And the final charge might just be lead by the Dahle brothers with their
bands Limblifter and Age of Electric ready to knock off the Gallager brothers and
Oasis all the way back to London. So be prepared, maybe even dig a trench
or two the Barenaked Ladies and the Dahle brothers
might come steamrolling through a radio station near you. Besides you might
even enjoy it, I know I do.
