Yr Favourite Local Bands

The Maccabees - Bloc Party/Futureheads new pretenders, bloody brilliant
The Pipettes - Big now, and the best doo-whoppy girly goodness ever
The Indelicates - Julia (formerly of The Pipettes)'s other band, they have a song called 'Waiting For Pete Doherty to Die' and it's absolutely beautiful
My Little Problem - Really Elliott Smith-like, brilliant
Restless List - Instrumental, experimental, so very danceable
Actress Hands - the good bits of britpop and pavement
British Sea Power - generally awesome. Have trees.
Brakes - Even better and made the best disco tune with 'All Night Disco Party' and did spiffing satire with the song 'Cheney', which lasts for about 10 seconds and goes 'Cheney, Cheney, Cheney...stop being such a dick'
Winteria - first band to get lumped with the label 'tweemo'. Plus, they kicked my ex out of their band, which wins them points.
This City - somewhere between Pretty Girls Make Graves, At The Drive In and The Automatic. It makes you forgive the fact that they all have matching emo fringes.
Nick Cave (well, Hove and not Brighton, but it's near enough) - even though he's now more orange than David Dickinson under an orange light bulb
Miss Pain - arty electro scenesterish goodness
The Black Tulips - like the Dresden Dolls with more people and slightly more theatre
The Lodge - dirty indie rock n roll, they just supported Juliette and The Licks on tour and she appears to be in love with them
The Guillotines - retro blues-y rock n roll - they've just blagged a support slot to The Horrors
Dirty Social Disorder - retro stooges-y filthy rock n roll
Deadbeat Descendent - as above but more retro-y
Enid Blitz - a couple of their members used to be in The Dawn Parade who were ace until the singer sacked everyone, so they moved to Brighton and formed an even better band
Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster - more of the town's resident scenesters/drunks than a band, but brilliantly funny live nonetheless
Electric Soft Parade - terminally underrated, so their members have formed other bands as well...
and finally..
Star Scream, who aren't strictly speaking from Brighton but a neighbouring town, but they play insanely loud blitzkrieg glamourous rock with fancy effects and brilliant songs and deserve to be heard by everyone.
So, for future reference, The Kooks are NOT Brighton's only band. And they suck noodles.
I know I'll think of millions more, but these are the best local ones that spring to mind, and they're all ace.

The Kooks suck the big one.
Two more bits of Brighton based aural goodness:
http://www.myspace.com/floorsandwalls - Floors and Walls. Think a white Dizzee Rascal fronting Rage Against the Machine.
http://www.myspace.com/redcortinas - Red Cortinas. A kind of British Sublime-esque type band.
