Sonos

Sonos takes a creative detour when it comes to a cappella. The L.A.-based indie outfit favors Radiohead, Björk, and Fleet Foxes for its unlikely harmonies. Kurt talks with the group and they perform live in the studio –- unaccompanied, of course.

Hi, loved Sonos and would like to invite you all to the sounds and humor of The Bobs http://www.bobs.com/ (coming to your area soon). The group has been around for over 30 years (2 of the members are "originals"). Listen to them and you will know where Sonos has picked up their drum riffs. Anyone remember Manhatten Trnsfer? They've been around a pretty good stretch too. A Capella - well it's ceratinly older than all of these groups and comes in so many forms... You'll never be bored!

Loved this section and the show this week. I liked your joke: "So we'll take that to a capella court"....but shouldn't that have been "acappellate" court?

I am curious to know why there was no mention of Sweet Honey In The Rock. This group has been around for 30+ years. They came out of the Civil Rights Movement and continue to sing songs of freedom.
