Yup it is true - it is not just your halloween hangover, this band is really called "We Have Band."
At first we hated the name. Now we love it for its "non-sensical sensicality" - a revolt against the aweful nature of band names today, a simple yet grammatically-astute mockery of the system. It's as brilliant as their music is fun.

Meanwhile, live, We Have Band is a simple three-some, including this girl above.

This guy on the drums.

And this guy as bass player - who is really the first girl's husband.
You still with me? Good.
We Have band has a shimmering yet punchy dirty-disco vibe, with a new wave synth-filled edge. The Guardian said they are kind of like "Depeche Mode after Vince Clarke left" - except I'd have to inject that it's more like Depeche Mode listened to a lot of Bloc Party and disco - any only synths and a bass as musical accompaniments.
Take a nibble below:
Dig it? Here is an engrossing stop-motion and mirror video.
Happy Monday!
