Bands you wish everyone else knew about.
Every once in awhile someone somewhere will turn me onto a new band or group I hadnt heard of. Might be something older like Nat King Cole that you woldnt ever think you would like or something from your childhood that you just dont remember like Social Distortion that you have a new found respect for or a new band that you had to go find everything they had ever done.
Mine would be The Drowning Men, they were signed by Borstal Beat records after touring with Flogging Molly (BB is FMs label) the wife and I have seen them numerous times and its always a great show. http://www.thedrowningmen.com/ My personal favorite song is "Rita". Enjoy Im hoping to find some more good groups from this thread! |

I'm damned near 40 and didn't truly appreciate David Bowie until finishing Life On Mars.
He's like a Tom Petty that doesn't pretend to be straight in the 70's...

Live at Hammersmith Odeon is a cool as shit concert, queer or not. When I look at the full-length albums I own, I own more Bowie albums than any other artists save Pink Floyd, Motorhead, Judas Priest, and Black Sabbath. I have 10 of his studio albums. |

The problem with everyone knowing about a band you like is that'll get played out quick!
I read a blurb about Silversun Pickups...6 months later it's played out. Their predecessor Smashing Pumpkins, Gish was great, Siamese Dream was great but got played out. That Goete song? I saw it here first, now that song's a joke. So I'll play coy here and say I have a favorite and I'm going to "Keep It Like A Secret." |

At least Bowie's considered queer so you don't hear him 3-10 times a week if you listen to a radio/jukebox. In highschool my friends gave me shit for liking Bowie and I wear it as a badge of honor. |

Right there with you guys with Walk Off the Earth. I saw them perform at Lollapalooza 2012. Was real close for the concert. They played a lot of their original, non-cover stuff..."Summer Vibe" really stuck out. The chick crowd-surfed and when she got back on stage, she reamed the crowd for groping her private parts when she was trying to have fun with the crowd by crowd surfing. Called them rude and disgusting...it was unfortunate that there were some pervs who were doing that. She made it pretty far out there...my brother and I helped prop one of her legs up as we helped her surf. I did notice that there were some dudes rushing in trying to cop a feel...it was pretty disturbing. Lady Gaga did this the year before at the Semi Precious Weapons set...I was just passing by when they were playing...I imagine she was groped as well.
But yeah, I love those guys. Other than the chick being pissed at a few dudes in the audience (and rightfully so), she was so, so, so down to Earth and personable with the crowd. I was impressed with all of them. |

Some bands I wish more people knew:
Toadies Yeasayer Grizzly Bear Beach House Screaming Trees Rusted Root Fred Neil (my God, listen to "The Dolphins." This guy wrote "Everybody's Talkin." I think Bob Dylan played harmonica for him when Dylan was starting out). First Aid Kit (check out the song, "Emmylou." Best Coast Dry Kill Logic The Dirty Heads Rebelution Iration Slightly Stoopid Pepper Joy Division (although I realize, in Europe, they are VERY well known) Sonic Youth The Vines Prong Mad Season There are a tone more. |

Although, Grizzly Bear's 'Shields' may be one of my favorite albums ever. |
