Sounds Like
The Monkees if they actually played their own instruments and wrote their own songs.
The Cut-Outs are a beat combo disguised as an indiepop supergroup. Featuring members of Airport Girl, The Fat Tulips and (on record) The Lucksmiths, they are the band that Paul & Linda and John & Yoko never had but should've. They play garage rock for pop kids with short, daft guitar solos and an unerring ear for a tune. And with a member of 60s dance troupe The Actionettes on drums, there's always at least one band member on the beat.
hello cut-outs! i just got one of those alden phantasias, it's only a six string but at least it's left-handed. so i won't have to bug you about borrowing yours :)
