King of the Kerb (.mp3)by Echobelly [video - wiki - iTunes]
Britpop wasn't just about the lads. A slew of female-fronted Britpop bands like Elastica, Sleeper, Catatonia, Lush, and Kenickie more than held their own. And then there was Echobelly. Led by the gorgeous pixie, Sonya Aurora Madan, her voice was not commensurate to her stature. This was the first song I ever heard by them, and I was instantly hooked. I'll never forget standing in the front row as they rocked the Roxy in 1996 (I still have one of their guitar picks from that show), and then standing in a muddy field at the Glastonbury Festival in England a year later watching them do it again. Ahhh the memories.
