I don't normally plug local bands as I assume that they are too parochial for you cosmopolitan metrosexual types but I have just seen a band called Venus Bogardus from the Twin Cities area (well, Bristol/Bath) who might be of interest to Sonic Youth fans.
They sound a bit like SY, CSS and someone else I can't put my finger on
