Animals and Bands

Quite a few bands out there these days with animal names. I know every music magazine has done this before but here's my picks for my favorite bands with animal names.


Fleet Foxes

Not only is their name really cool but it seems to fit on some subconscious level with their music.


Andrew Bird – Imitosis

One of the best discoveries of this past year for me.


Neko Case – Maybe Sparrow

Ok, so her name isn't really an animal, but neko (with a short e sound) means "cat" in Japanese. Besides, she sings a lot about animals.


Grizzly Bear – Two Weeks

Oh those grizzly bears.


Wilco – Hummingbird

Ok, yet another exception. But seriously, one of my favorite songs by one of my favorite bands.


The Dodos – Fools

A recent pick up in my vocabulary. Looking forward to seeing them come to Boston.


Doping Panda – Crazy

Having come out with names like Snail Ramp and Analog Fish, those crazy Japanese are at it again.
