Atrixo
A little divergent of the general theme of this thread, Atrixo is a band that could be considered a slap in the face to the sad music that was coming out in the late 90s. Let by the georgeous Cha Cha Gonzales, Atrixo's music is akin to 80s techno. Her vocals are highly expressive, perfect for an over-all fun album that features many obscured words.
Signed to Hollywood Records, this four-piece disbanded in 2002, but can still be found conversing with die-hards on myspace.
