It's only when you set up the Myspace page that you realise how many bands either have your name already, or something so similar that you could easily be confused (And Gaia knows, I'm easily confused!). And we thought we were being original! Perhaps if we had known this before the CD was pressed we might have called ourselves GOP, or GPO, or TRIPOG (hey, that's a good name for the next album) or something. Still, there's some interesting stuff out there in the netosphere that shares or has a similar arrangement of written symbols or characters used in the graphemic representation of the word which is the formal appellation representing their unique status. For example, and in no particular order;
POG
Some sort of ambient sound-artist from New York state. I particularly liked the track simply entitled 's' :)
POG
A darkly contemplative singer-songwriter from Pennsylvania, USA, filled with self doubt. POG
A celtic-punk band from Brighton, UK. I should have heard of this lot because I lived in Brighton for 10 years until 12 months ago. D'oh!!! POGS
Described as electro/grindcore in the Myspace genre guide. When you listen to this you get the feeling that things must be really bad in Tempe, AZ, USA.
POGZ
Polish rapping artist/troupe. POGODNO
A nice sounding Polish alternative rock band with a kind of caberet vibe.
POG MO THOIN
This one from French new-wavers made me laugh - and took me straight back to 80s :)
Anyway, we've invited them all to become the 'friends of POG,' which sounds like a sinister secret society – and perhaps it is....
