OZ IS AMAZING EVERYONE SHOULD LOVE OZ. But it really comes down to your threshhold for gratuitous violence, male nudity, and shit like people being crucified or drinking piss. And really desperately unattractive facial hair. And Nazis. I like the idea of microcosm shows, I don't know if it's an acquired taste.
I think there's some Aussie noise band who has a South Asian drummer, but I don't remember the name and they haven't put out even an EP yet afaik, so they might not actually exist. But yeah, if I tried to make a list of Asian musicians in popular genres, I'd be stuck at like "Herman Li, Vienna Teng, That Dude from That Band, Meg & Dia, That Dude From That Other Band, That Guy Who Used To Have Pink Hair From What's It's Face," and it would be thoroughly depressing on all counts and still not include any South Asians.
Chick singers are easier, especially if you go into pop, pop punk, etc., but it's still enough in genres like hardcore that you just don't see it done/the primary mode of expression is "blah blah blah straight white guy from a middle class background wailing about That Girl and how broke up he is about her because she's such a bitch so now he's going to kill things" or something equally stupid. Paramore grates on me, but I did actually buy my tickets for two weekends from now, so I could theoretically see them twice. I think they're mainstage.
...Shit, I used to know these things. Atreyu, chick, video. I had to wrack my brain for this. That's "Her Portrait in Black", maybe? Did it have cheesy clips from the second Underworld? I used to make fun of it for being so pop but it sounds so much better in retrospect now I've heard the new single. It's sad.

I like the Dove ad.
