If I'd known before now that Arthur Darvill used to sing in an indie band, I'd have posted this video sooner. WHY SO CUTE, ARTHUR?

*falls over laughing*
There was an indie band from Derby that hardly anyone remembers now called Cable (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cable_%28British_band%29) (and a US band has used the name since, which has caused horrible confusion in the trail) who this band are basically a tribute to. I think it was only ever musicians that liked them, see, and I have seen so many bands since try and be them and not get anywhere because hardly anyone else liked them, but I'm always happy to see anyone pretend to be Cable because Cable were bloody ace. This considerably raises Arthur in my estimation, anyway.

Ahhhaha, Cable have a myspace (http://www.myspace.com/cableinternational)! Have a listen to Song 1 in particular.

Sorry. You're looking for Arthur, not the band he was ripping off with his band. But they were ace.

They are good! Their sound (as well as Edmund's) reminds me very much of several bands who were popular in the Boston area when I was in college: the Cavedogs, O Positive, and even a little Buffalo Tom, though Cable's got a more angular guitar style and a less produced sound than the other bands.
