Add Adema to that list... they've been around forever. I think they're on their fifth album now or something, but they've got a new one coming out this summer. I saw 'em last night in Hollywood and they were AMAZING-- best live show I've been to in a long time!!! Their best album, I think is Adema... but they played a lot from the new one (Kill the Headlights) last night and it was AWESOME!
