Maybe a little bit late to the party on this, but just found a new group that I quite enjoy. From what I can source they're a four piece from London who describe they're style as 'Chop Pop'. Their remix of Marina and the Diamonds has created some great hype around them, but it was the work on the Phenomenal Hand Clap Band's single Baby which first caught my attention. The seem to fuse elements of funk, pop as well as guitars and strings together in quite a coherent manor. It's a touch of folk and in all it's pretty darn good.
You can hear a few of their originals on their MySpace. Definately worth checking out if you're in the mood for a wheat beer.
