Cicada, the Band

Filed under: Pop Culture — Dan @ 7:17 pm

There’s a new band from England named Cicada. I discovered them this week while reading music critic “Top 10″ lists for 2006. I guess the easiest way to describe them is “disco” — good music for dancing and working out, I suppose. Go to their MySpace page and check them out for yourself.
