Fun Stuff > BAND
talk about a band you wish more people have heard of here.
mattkills:
this is a thread to get people introduced to music they may not have heard of. no "indie cred," no pretensions, just good fucking tunes.
my choice of the evening: efterklang.
a dutch 10 piece of glitchy indie-chamber music. sounds a lot like the bjork vespertine album meets someone like rachel's or godspeed. very very very good. i suggest downloading this cause buying the album will run you a bit ($32 with postage straight from leaf) oh, the album is called tripper. it's really really good. every person i have played it for has loved it. check it out.
maxusy3k:
Will look it up soon as I get back from college...
My choice to add is Rob Dougan... a weird blend of classical and hip-hop style beats with some beautiful lyrics, albeit sung in a voice that sounds somewhat like Lou Reed with throat cancer. Either way, it comes off a lot better than it sounds, and more people need to look this guy up.
nothingwitty:
THE AFGHAN WHIGS

MilkmanDan:
65 Days of Static, dammit.
YOU KNOW I'M RIGHT!

muffy:
Ooooh! I like 65DaysofStatic! They played down here very recently ( possibly last night) but I couldn't go, as I never have thursday nights free :(
Band I want people to talk about:
The Dawn Parade.
They're from Cambridge (well, Bury St Edmunds, to be exact), and John Peel used to love them, even if their fans tried to rig the Festive Fifty results in their favour. It very melodic, Smiths-y and brilliant in general. They played SXSW this year, too...
