(The Management - Got a little confusing, so they changed their name)

As the story goes, there were two bands around the same time who decided to call themselves The Management. The upstate New York one and the UK one. The New York one decided to shorten their name to MGMT and are doing rather well for themselves on the pop charts. The UK Management, the one I'm posting tonight, kept the name for a while but then decided they too would undergo a name change and they have since called themselves The Neon Sound. They are the indie one, the sort of techno one, the one who are not on the pop charts. This track, Coffee Shop Girls comes from their first album, released in 2002 "Seventeen Minutes In The Cheap Seats". At present they are still going the indie route and you can find out more about them through their MySpace and Last.FM pages. The album is available on CD as well as download and it's worth checking out - imho.
