Great bands no-one has heard of (?)

[Mowgli]

In Flames, Swedish band, if you like death metal of course

YouTube - In Flames official video

 

[Mr Banana]

The Dresden Dolls. Please please please check it out - when I found them I was a hip hop kid. I still am, but they destroyed my perceptions.

And Amanda Palmer, their singer, who released one of the best albums of this year.

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

A bit of Swedish disco. Air France. Reminds me of Sebastien Tellier's latest album. This tune is a tad melancholy too. Kooky and wonderful

Have Air France on my Zen.......it's light and insubstantial, but it's very likeable.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Here's one you lot may know already - Koop.

Come to Me from the album Koop Island. Bought it about 18 months ago and played it so much I went off it. But very quirky. this is the most commercial track - but the whole thing has a lot to recommend it.

And something a bit more typical - and lovely, lovely animation - Baby from Waltz for Koop (2002)

[NMH]

Now this is a band that I came across randomly that I love. I hope the likes of Frank W Y, NMH, Herr Tubthumber, Medicine Man, Icy Gull like too.

Tiny Vipers - The Downward


On this side

Sorry Buzzer, desperately awful to my ears, are those emo attempts.

Shameless plug for your mates band

 

[NMH]

Now this is a band that the Merry Prankster and I really really rave about.

Cambodia's premier psychedelic rock band today - Dengue Fever.

Seriously, if you get into one band for 2009, please let it be this one. They ROCK!!

Cool, Lush-like....almost Bollywood, but with grungey guitars.
Suitably odd enough to be unique - and such a mix of international influence they're defining 'World Music' in one band.

 

[Janbha]

This is my fav from a not very well known band! Powderfinger another aussie band

[NMH]

Scandanavia has produced some excellent music....that nobody seems to get to hear.

T.S.O.O.L. (The Soundtrack Of Our Lives)

Just bought tickets for Merry Prankster and me, June next year at La Scala. I'm glad there's something you like from my list!

YouTube - Amanda Palmer Music Video - Dedicated To Sarah Palin

Agreed. "Who killed Amanda Palmer" is a great album. Highlights are Oasis (the one that's dedicated to Sarah Palin. Abortion, eh?) The other is Leeds United. Apparently her record company tried to stop release of the video, not for the shit titlw but because she gets her ample tummy out at the end. Not good for the image apparently. Bizarre

While Nirvana eclipsed the music scene, they also overshadowed this other Seattle band (from which QOTSA emerged), The Screaming Trees;

[Franks Wild Years]

Cor, Dengue Fever. Good shout. Tickets bought !!

 

[Arthur]

Championed them on here before but.......

......ladies and gentlemen I give you Speed Circus

[Buzzer]

There's some really good stuff on here. I love finding out about new bands.

How about Band of Horses with No-one's gonna love you. Bit like Flaming Lips which can't be a bad thing.

[yt]jfX6WTOmt5E[/yt]

Maybe this a Sunday morning song rather than a Saturday. I think it's a bit of a grower.
