The Maccabees

I received the following as part of an unsolicited e-mail from something called the Notting Hill Arts Club:

Headline Band

10:30 - 11:30 The Maccabees

South London boys drawn by romantic intuition to hone their talents on the coast, their post punk styling with elements of drum and bass are bought bang up to date by the dirty driving bass and drums of Rupert Jarvis and Robert Dylan Thomas, the razor sharp twisting sibling guitar presence of Hugo and Felix White and the twitching, jerking, eyes to the ceiling feet to the dance floor vocals of Orlando Weeks.

I think the name is one chosen at random as far as I can tell. Still, interesting that Jewish imagery is deemed acceptable for this sort of thing - progress of sorts.
