Talk:Pagoda (band)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
this was copy/paste from the band's webpage bio wasn't it? and does anyone knows something about accusations of plagiarism or "extreme similarities" with nirvana? i mean, pitt dresses like and even uses cobain's hair and beard, singing voice and lyrics/song style, but worse.
- I don't know about that, is it? I found it at the Talk:Pagoda page, and took it from there.
- On the extreme similarities with Nirvana subject, I don't really know. It's not that similar, and I hear more Sonic Youth than Nirvana in the music. As of Pitt being similar, he did play Cobain in Last Days, so I guess he had to look like that for a period. He seems to wear his hair differently now, though, at least.

About Michael looking like Kurt, If you watch the extra stuff on the DVD "Last Days", you'll see that Michael has changed his hair to brown, and it's shorter. Also, Donowho is no longer a part of the band. Oh, and The Happy Song does sound alot like something Nirvana would do, but the rest sounds alot more sonic youth. BTW did anyone like the "Venus In Furs" song by The Velvet Underground?
[edit] Pagoda on MySpace
I went ahead and added Pagoda's MySpace page to the external links section.

On a side note, a press release from Motown Records cites Thurston Moore (guitarist/vocalist of Sonic Youth, and the founder of Pagoda's label, Ecstatic Peace) as discovering Pagoda while Michael Pitt was shooting the 2001 film, Bully. A complete version of this press release can be found at Anarchy Music.
It contains a healthy chunk of information on the subject of Pagoda's signing, and would be a good reference to draw from.

[edit] Self Titles Debut
Well the self titles debut is out today. Does this deserve its own seperate page? Also does anyone actually own the album yet to write about it? Debaser23 11:27, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
