Vive St. Ettienne
Saw them in Hammersmith about 12 years ago, loved them. Bought a t-shirt (white with 'St. Ettienne' in raised black velvet lettering, with black piping on the arms), and wore it when we went island hopping in Greece.

Went to buy tickets for the ferry in Peraus (sp?), and stared at a massive poster of some ferry while the wife talked to the guy. About 2 minutes later she elbowed me out my mong-state (hey, I like ships, waddyagonnadoaboutit?) and I realised the ticket guy had been repeatedly asking me the same question. I looked at him and he said, in the greasiest greek accent ever, "Do you liiiiiike St. Ettienne?". I started going on about Sarah Cracknell's voice and the cool retro sound of "So Tough", then realised he was asking me about the football team.

I got me coat....
