Default Non-japanese musical interests

What non-japanese bands/artists do you listen to?

I don't like being the first, but here we go.
Recently I've started to listen to some American swing influenced bands. Some of my favorite are the Squirrel Nut Zippers, The Love Dogs, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, etc. I also listen a lot The Cat Empire (Australia - dying to listen to their new album!). And some fellow Brazilian bands/artists, like Móveis Coloniais de Acaju (ska/jazz/east-european stuff), Canastra (swing/rockabilly/western), Vanguart (folk/rock/bossa), Pathétique Poupée (industrial/visual/rock), Hazy Hamlet (traditional heavy metal/my brother's band)...
(actually I started digging almost anything with trumpet in it! I'm thinking about trying to learn to play it too - someday)
That's it.

Wow. I don't know any of the artists you listed, except for Gal Costa (which I don't like! XD)
And yeah, I heard it's difficult to play, but I think I'll give it a try anyway - when I have the time. ><

Maou: if you like heavy metal, try listening to my brother's band. *shameless advertisement XD* (http://hazyhamlet.com/main.php?idi=en -> MP3, on the left side)

Most of her songs are so-so to me, but there's that very small portion of songs I really love. It's hard.

There used to be this series of podcasts by Avolta Jr and it's all about 60s-70s Brazilian music. There're about 20 episodes about 30min each. It's brilliant. But like most brilliant things, it's gone from the internet now. Let me know if you're interested.

Oh anyway, here's Felicidade by SUBA.
