    Yet I’ve just found out they are English, and Brian Molko is Scottish.

    What have you found out that is completely at odds with what you thought?

    Until I saw them at leeds festival I never noticed how gorgeous the girl who plays the violin is. Fiona Brice is the name that she is called and she’s lovely. Not to mention bloody talented as well.

    I thought this was a great way of just saying “her name’s Fiona Brice”.

    A Belgian & a (swedish) Luxemburger 🙂

    Brian is a mongrel like many Brussels folk (typing this from Brussels) 😉

    Nice guys too.

    My mistake, he’s Scottish/American born in Belgium. Of course.

    Are you going to start a rival thread:

    “I always thought Brian Molko was from Sheffield”?

    The Thompson Twins were in fact completely unrelated by blood.

    Similarly, the Proclaimers proclaim that they are Twin Brothers, when in fact, the one on the left has slightly different glasses.

    Blimey, they still going? I’d have given them 5 years max back in the day.

    Edit… blimey they’ve been going almost 20 years. That makes me feel quite old 😕

    MrSparkle – you might be thinking of Moloko, who are indeed from Sheffield.

    I always thought that the vocalist from McAlmont and Butler was female until I saw them on the telly.

    Even now, on hearing them, I find it very difficult to believe that David McAlmont is male.

    At 45, I think i’m past the point of being ‘turned’ – but if anyone could, Brian Molko could.

    He’s goygeous.

    On the contrary, apparently bi tendencies can become stronger as you get older

    I also thought Lost Prophets were American

    That’s because they were a (bad) Faith No More tribute band. And FnM are American.

    Placebo aren’t actually from anywhere. The idea that they are from somewhere is entirely psychosomatic, a figment of your imagination. In my mind they are Swiss.

    Lemmy from Motorhead lived on Anglesey for a while. The home of rock n roll. Not!
