One of my favorite pop bands ever, that's who!!!
They are an English dance-pop trio who specialize in kitsch, I guess you could
say.
Their music is sort of ironic pop, some of it remniscient of the girl groups
of the 60s, some of it more euro-cheese disco.  Have you heard of Dubstar?
Peach (Union)? Mono? Even the Cardigans?  To some extent they all took ideas
from St Et, with lesser results (save the Cards), IMHO.  If you like Pizzicato
Five, that's another fair comparison. 
The vocalist of Saint Etienne is the adorable feather-boa'd Sarah Cracknell, a
true DOLL with the voice of an angel. 
Saint Et's most recent offerings don't quite live up to their earlier stuff,
but the album "So Tough" or their compilation "Too Young To Die" is a good
starting point.
If you want I could even throw together mix tape for you...
Anyway i'm sure there are tons of people who just hate the Et, but that's my
two cents.

viva las vegas!!
