Cover art for $$$$ lyrics by Desaparecidos

"I could be wrong, but wasn't that the point of Conor creating Bright Eyes, so he didn't have to play with a set band?"

I don't think so, because Bright Eyes has been around since '95 but Desaparecidos didn't form until recently (Read Music Speak Spanish was released in '01, so they probably weren't around much before then)
