The Submarines are an indie pop group from LA. You will probably recognize their song "You, Me and the Bourgeoisie" from an Apple commercial and they were in a Grey's Anatomy episode last season. Isn't that every bands induction in to coolness these days? (Though Grey's Anatomy is not cool. Sorry)
They have a really cute story. Their names are Blake and John and they were performing solo in Boston when they met. They started dating and performing together. They were together for 4 years and broke up in 2004. They remained friends and continued with their solo careers. Blake recorded her songs in John's home studio and they both found out that all their sad songs that were each writing were about each other and their emotions about the breakup. They ended up getting back together and getting married. A friend of theirs mixed their first album for them as a wedding gift. Now they are on their second album and it is much more upbeat and happy then their first CD, which was all about the breakup. I love band formations with fun stories.
Anyway here's the video for You, Me and the Bourgeoisie:
