Did you ever play that game where you make up your dream band with 
people who are living or dead, then imagine what kind of awesome songs 
theyd produce? My dream band consists of Tom Verlaine on lead guitar, 
David Byrne on vocals, Dave Grohl on drums and Dee Dee Ramone on bass. 
Their songs would be a really good mixture of complicated melodies and 
the hardest hitting rhythm section ever. And theyd be called Eagle Face.

Apparently, someone else was playing this game, except they had the 
power to make it happen (and their choices didnt involve resurrection). 
If you put Blurs Damon Albarn on keyboards and vocals, the Clashs Paul 
Simonon on Bass, the Verves Simon Tong on guitar, Afrobeat pioneer Tony 
Allen on drums and you threw in some percussion and synth lines from 
Danger Mouse, theyd be a pretty rockin band. And theyd be called the 
Good, the Bad & the Queen.

Sounding a bit like the Gorillaz, but really more like Public Image Ltd 
if theyd aged gracefully into a mellower band instead of John Lydons 
disappointing cartoon version of himself, this is a great album to put 
on at a party that you dont want to get out of control. Apparently, 
these guys will be at Coachella, so if you like the album you can find 
out how well they transfer to a live setting.
