I Have Never Heard of That
sjbrot:
From the ashes of Mclusky... Shooting at Unarmed Men. I was pretty shocked when I stumbled on this.
Oh, and Blood Meridian are from Vancouver and Ladyhawk are from Kelowna, which apparently has an industry solely made up of beer and boat sales.

--- Quote from: est ---That said, of all the bands mentioned in this thread I've only heard edIT. Everything else is totally new. I agree with Spinless, by the way. Since people started explaining these obscure bands a bit better the thread has become a lot more useful to me.

Since you've heard of edIT I shall explain for others.
edIt is a female glitchcore artist signed to Planet Mu records. She tends to use a lot more instruments than traditional breaks/glitchcore.
How about OOO?
notgoodnight:
not really as obscure as it is that I've noticed that no one has ever really heard of them...
Jump, Little Children.
My favorite band EVER, from the sounds of it, they are a lot different than the bands being described here. They are a very ecclectic mix of rock, irish folk, and white boy rapper who plays the accordian. They're better live than they are recorded. Their multi-instrumentialist plays the accordian, irish tin whistle, harmonica, traditional/hot pink electric mandolin, and is the aforementioned white boy rapper. Their bass player rocks the standup bass harder than I've ever seen it rocked. I guess many who know them would put them in the category of "mellowed out hippie music," although I wouldn't put them in that category.
I've always had a hard time trying to describe their sound. They're a mostly regional band, which explains why many people haven't really heard of them. Unfortunately, they've broken up, but they did just release a new live album.
I know way too much about them. I hope at least one person here likes them :-/

Well, I figure I may as well describe Strawberry Path, since I am kind of bored.
I found them poking around Indietorrents, and when I saw "Japanese Prog Rock" I figured I could use them as some kind of elitism leverage over my circle of prog nerd friends, when I was first getting into the genre, and felt really out of place in any of their conversations about music.
But yeah, they are Japanese Prog Rock, that reminds me of a lot of different bands at points. Kinda Kansas, kind of Pink Floyd, and oddly enough, a bit of Motorhead influence (Man, I am not looking for that fancy O with the dots right now) There are also some pretty Hendrix-esque guitar solos at points.
It is pretty awesome.
Fortnight:
It's funny you mention Jump, Little Children as I JUST heard about them!
Just yesterday I was talking to my friend who, gigantic Leonard Cohen fan that he is, upped and decided that day to try and go find every cover of "Hallehlujah" he could. And he told me that he hit jackpot, totalled to about 50 or so. Well, he sent me some of the best, and one of them was by Jump, Little Children, a band we both never heard about but whose name we were very much amused by.
THAT'S THE END OF MY STORY, YAY
So anway, I've been meaning to find out more about them. You'll have to tell me where to start!
And adding on my own contribution:
The Elastik Band only ever put out one song, called "Spazz".
And it's a shame, because it's a great fucking song, whenenver I play it at work people are always asking who it is.
The only place it exists now is in a boxset called "Nuggets" which collects songs from the first wave of pyschedlic garage bands, and it was my reason for getting it. The whole thing is fantastic though.
Gah, sorry if some of this is wonky, sleeping pill jsut kicked in hard as I was writting it so I can't tell. Makes it hard edit
