The Resume

    (1999- )
    Born in Versailles, France
    Thomas Mars - vocalist
    Chris Mazzalai - guitarist
    Laurent Brancowitz - guitarist
    Deck D'Arcy - bassist
    Recorded the albums 'United (2000),' 'Alphabetical (2004),' 'It's Never Been Like That (2006)' and 'Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix (2009)'
    Recorded the songs 'Too Young,' 'If I Ever Feel Better', 'Everything Is Everything,' 'Run Run Run,' 'Long Distance Call,' 'Consolation Prizes,' '1901,' 'Lisztomania' and 'Lasso'

Why they might be annoying:

    They don't have an official drummer.
    '1901' was used in the new Melrose Place, Cadillac SRX commercials and in the trailer for 'New York, I Love You,' while 'Lisztomania' was used in a trailer for the film 'Valentine's Day.'
    Early in their career, they were doing Hank Williams and Prince covers at bars.
    Lead singer Thomas Mars fathered two children out of wedlock with Sofia Coppola.

Why they might not be annoying:

    '1901' reached number one on Billboard's Alternative Songs chart, making it the fourth song released on an independent label to achieve this feat.
    '1901' also happened to reach the top of that chart 31 weeks after it entered, which is a record for that chart.
    In 2010, they won the Grammy for Best Alternative Album with 'Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix.'
    'Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix' also ranked in many music critics' year-end lists.
    They've all known each other since they were kids, with Laurent Brancowitz, Chris Mazzalai's older brother, eventually joining them as they were starting as a band.
