The only one I know is Grand Champeen, a Texas band that puts on a heckuva
live show and even cover the Mats (and Costello). They were a little
twangier in the past, but that part of their sound seems to be fading
away. It's more of a straight-up rock thing now, with some of the raggedy
Mats charm. I would suggest checking them out.
