It started as an innocent collaboration with a throwaway name: the Californian KC Underwood, then 26, taught guitar to the 16-year-old Briton Alice Costelloe, a rock singer since she was 13, and they called themselves Big Deal because surely they’d never be one. Three years and an album later (“Lights Out”), the sound they thought wouldn’t make waves outside his London flat — synchronized vocals and two electric guitars — has Britain enthralled (now the States, too: the band is fresh off a splashy debut at South by Southwest). And that moniker? “The joke’s not so funny now that we’re stuck with a bad name,” Underwood says. At least it’s better than their first one: Hard Cheese.
