In MySpace's desperate attempt to pigeon-hole musicians into categories the description of them is often melted down, squished up and mashed into the simplest form of wrong - three words Just/Like/This. In a rare moment of hitting the nail smack on the head, Lady and the Lost Boys have described themselves to be Childrens/Shoegaze/Idol. Annabel has the sparkly ability to sing wizened thoughts as though she's still learning them; thoughts that often swerve into self-confessed teenage logic.
