MP3: Sahara Hotnights - Quite a feeling
Hard to believe this came out 10 years ago already. Sahara Hotnights have come a long way as a band, but they'll never recapture the vibe that made their debut so special. There's a freshness and an energy to it that's impossible to fake, impossible to resurrect. In many ways they're a better band nowadays - better musicians, better pop craftsmen and so on -- but here, at their rawest, more premature stage, you knew they had something and that's why they blew up almost immediately. Of course, being a band of attractive females didn't hurt either though I'd argue it was hardly crucial to their success. They're a great band; always have been and still are.
