Goldspot
from WikiMusicGuide, the free music guide. Your music wiki.
Goldspot is currently a Los Angeles based band which takes its name from the Indian soda, Gold Spot.
Lead singer Siddhartha Khosla says about the drink, "Gold Spot isn't my favourite drink. It wasn't even my first drink; Coke was. But we named ourselves after it because it's bubbly and refreshing. I wish I could still drink it, but I hear that Gold Spot is no longer made in India."
Everyone else says that his statements are pretty funny since Siddhartha never knew there was such thing as a radio till much later in life:
As he tells the story, " one fateful day when he was 14, Sid realized that you could flip the switch on his parents' stereo from "tape" to "radio" and encountered his first taste of Western music in the form of a selection from R.E.M.'s Green."
Their cover of the song "Float On" was used in the US TV series The OC during episode 5 of season 4, "The Sleeping Beauty".
