As someone pointed out in the comments, Noisettes from the UK were added to the 2007 Siren Festival lineup (which for those who don't know, is a free outdoor concert in Coney Island, Brooklyn, NYC on July 21, 2007).

I didn't love the Noisettes when I saw them at Mercury Lounge in March 2006, but I'm willing to give them another chance. As Sasha Frere-Jones points out, their song "Don't Give Up" is pretty rockin'....

Actually, Sasha really recommends the whole 'What's The Time, Mr. Wolf?' album - even more than Feist, but not as much as Arcade Fire & LCD Soundsystem. It came out on April 17th. You can get it for only $9.99 at Insound.

The Noisettes' June 6th show at Knitting Factory in NYC is sold out, but their Bowery Presents June 7th show in Asbury Park with Bloc Party is not. All tour dates below...
