Bands you had completely forgotten about

[The Clamp]

They Might Be Giants. Read somewhere they now mainly do children's albums.
Cud
Giant Sand. God they are/were good
A House. One really good album then nowt.
Bomb The Bass.
Terrorvision. Had one successful album, one shit single (tequila), buddied up with Chris Evans in the TFI era then disappeared.
London Grammar. Absolutely love this band but they seem to have evaporated.
Plan B. I liked the Strickland Banks album a few years back. Where did he go?

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Pete Wiley's brother, Dave. One their day, smarter, better tunes and better singing than Wah!

[Albion my Albion]

I can't think of the band's name right now but they were really good. So good it can feel like an orgasm.

The Palm Before The Storm?

 

[Albion my Albion]

The Palm Before The Storm?

Nope. Nada. Nil.

This has, bizarrely, reminded me of Nitzer Eb who seemingly always used to support Depeche Mode.

Cud played at David Gedges "Edge of the Sea" mini fest in 2012 and were pretty damned good.

Was their Promoter Dan Silver at VAT (Value Added Talent) - Dan was the Promoter of Depeche Mode up until they initially split when Dave Gahan had his mental years

 

[Pevenseagull]

Some of friends had forgotten about 'Pale Saints'. They remembered Ride, Slowdive and Lush ........ but they had forgotten about ' Pale Saint's

[SK1NT]

Elastica...

 

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

Elastica...

Funny that. One of the records I bought last month at the Brighton Centre record fair was the e.p they did with M.E. Smith.

 

[The Modfather]

This list reminded me of five thirty

Loved their Bed album


Also used to play lots of gigs with these animal men before they went new wave of new wave.

I loved Five Thirty, another one I had completely forgotten about.

 

[Super Steve Earle]

Giant Sand - I saw Howe Gelb at The Dome about 10 years ago touring 'Sno Angel like You with a gospel choir. Great show, although surprised the audience missed his cheeky Lou Reed riff on Walk on the Wild Side. Something of a one-off album, yet still a favourite.

Apologies, I meant to post this on the thread referencing Giant Sand

A trip through youtube from Five Thirty included these beauties

I forgot that band with the three guys and 1 girl and they had guitars and one of them played a keyboard and they had that hit that went der-da der-da der-da.

There name was.......... naah still forgotten them.

That was The Primitives.

 

[redoubtable seagull]

That was The Primitives.

I don't remember the Primitives having a keyboard player.
But the song was Crash with that de de de chorus.
