froggie Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 1927 australian band from the lates 80s/early 90s doing straight rock/pop. back together recently! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PopTodd Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Forgot:Brinsley SchwarzYeah, it's Nick Lowe's (and Ian Gomm's) band from the early to mid 70s. And they did record the original version of a couple of songs that would become famous later on. But most folks don't seem to know the band, itself. And that's too damn bad. They're amazing.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SZ2eT_T0AI Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PopTodd Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Emitt Rhodes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
anthony Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I would be hard-pressed to come up with ten bands, but I caught this band playing in the street in New Orleans last weekend and really liked. Bought the CD and can't stop listening. Kinda gypsy folk with lots of banjo and accordion. Sparrow Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Vacant Horizon Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I know 5 of these.Gib Droll is still around? Jump Little Children too? I saw God Street Wine a few times in the 90s. Their studio albums were horrible, but live, they were great. That live album they put out in 93 with Drive West and Imogen is classic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vacant Horizon Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Here are a few I have discovered over the years...no particular order. Bands: Royal TruxCircuit RidersSwansCatfish JenkinsAugie March3osity (jazz)Hank DogsKula ShakerThe NieldsThe Bevis FrondFor Stars Solo artists: David BehrmanPatty LarkinJonatha BrookeKate RusbyKendra SmithTom CochraneKate WolfMiranda Lee RichardsCassandra Wilson Love Miranda Lee Richards. Her last album was so great. Not much new music blows me away and hers did. She's supposedly got a new one on the horizon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PopTodd Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Peter LaughnerA founding member of Pere Ubu, The Dead Boys, and Rocket From the Tombs. He killed himself before any of those bands could achieve any type of notoriety. A troubled, troubled soul. But also an incredible songwriter and stunning guitar player.

IRememberDBoon Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 anyone ever like the band Vinyl from San Fran?Kermit Ruffins and the BBQ Swingers are allsomeThe Dinosaurs were a fun one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ih8music Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 It's hard for me to come up with "lesser known" bands for this community because this is one of the places I use to learn about new bands and expand my horizons. When I mention what I'm listening to to pretty much any person I know IRL, I get the "who the hell are they?" look 98% of the time. That said, I noticed that nearly all of Glossary's videos on YT have less than 1000 views (and I don't recall seeing them mentioned here), so I guess they count.

PopTodd Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 This is Tom Anselimi, from © -- in his previous band.Another one that is not very well-known that I dig with a VERY BIG shovel! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PopTodd Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Oh, and another one:Blue RuinAustralian band with Phil Calvert -- the drummer from The Birthday Party, in his post-TBP days.To me, they sound like The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, if that band really MEANT it!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_P1QdS2-0LE Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bob_Roberts Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I was thinking of Trout Fishing in America, which I should have remembered as it's taken from the Richard Brautigan book. My bad. Has there ever been a band called Trout Fisting in America? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Yes. That's why I confused the two groups. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

worldrecordplayer Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I have to get out more, and find more time (less work, less tv). I think the only band mentioned so far that I've even heard of is God Street Wine. Other than that I would think this topic is fictional. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I don't know if i can name ten. Hospitality is a band I have liked very much since their first album came out two years ago. It surprises me that none of my friends or acquaintances (who go to exponentially more shows than me, and spend exponentially more time and money on current music than I do) don't know about them. their new record is pretty great. i'm definitely gonna try to catch them when they come by.
