U2 fan? Meet Dave Lichens

Hey everyone, I ended up watching a HORRIBLE movie the other night called She's The Man. I'm sure some of you have heard of it, it's fairly new.

Anyway, near the end of the movie, during a scene that takes place in a restaurant there's a song playing in the background and the singer sounds almost EXACTLY like Bono.

So I wanted to know if it was some weird U2 song I hadn't heard or what and when checking the Special Features of the disk I found the actual music video by a guy named Dave Lichens from Portland Oregon. I don't have an .mp3 of the song, but trust me he sounds A LOT like Bono. I can't say if I'm going to like this guy's music yet, but anyone who like's Bono's voice should check him out.

I'll post a link to his website, where you can watch the video to the song featured on the movie's soundtrack. The song's name is "Let Go" you can see the link to play the video on the bottom left hand side of the main page.

Oh and also, at the top of the website, there's another media player, a song called BLUE will start blaring as soon as you load the page, so push stop on it and watch the video first, since that's the one you should all listen to first to hear the vocal similarities.

I saw She's the Man too!
It was on an airplane.
Only I watched it willingly because I've already seen V for Vendetta.

And my Dad was watching it too. But he started the movie like 20 minutes too late and never saw the end. So While the plane was landing I had to explane the end of the movie to him.

My point being, Lando why wern't you paying incredibly close attention to the movie like I was?! Why were you listening to the background music? You fail at movies 101.

I think I pass. Considering I can pick out music and not miss any plot! Take for instance the movie Miami Vice, which I just saw tonight. There are 3 Audioslave songs from their new album in this movie. Not only that, but there's a Moby song called "One of These Mornings" featuring Patti LaBelle. I'd heard this song before as it really stands out, but I couldn't quite remember where I'd heard it. After some research I found out it was played in the TV series "Without A Trace" that I used to watch every so often.
