Music New music discoveries - Page 2

**Nzoner** · 04-23-2006, 09:27 AM

I've recently been going all out to find new music and thought we could use a thread giving each other a head's up on new music we may not have heard of.By new I mean to you,since we have such a variance of ages here I'm sure that some of us may be aware of the artists mentioned but nonetheless I'd like to get an idea of other stuff out there.

If you'd like to add a link or copy and paste an article that'd be great.

I'm going to start with Earl Slick and I can't say enough good about his project Zig Zag.10 songs in all the project includes a few instrumentals as well as some special guest singers including David Bowie whom Earl has played with.My personal favs are the songs 1735 and Zig Zag.

Here's a little more about him.

Earl Slick: Six String Outlaw

The image of the journeyman guitarist is one of modern day rock and roll folklore. The idea of the lone gunslinger, a six string outlaw that brings their magic to all the world's stages before riding off into the sunset leaving us to wonder when they will return.

Earl Slick has been an in demand guitarist for the better part of 30 years having played on the most pivotal of albums by none other than David Bowie (David Live, Station To Station), John Lennon (Double Fantasy, Milk And Honey) and Ian Hunter (Overnight Angels). However, after years of constant touring and recording, Earl was exhausted spiritually and creatively and headed off for a much-needed break in the early 90s.

Disappearing for a few years, Earl was on the road once again with David Bowie in the summer of 2000 and has remained with the band touring numerous times and appearing on Bowie's "Live At The BBC Theatre" and "Reality" albums.

Having his creativity sparked by this recent activity, Earl began writing in earnest, the results of which produced his sterling new album "Zig Zag". Eager to talk about his first solo album in 12 years, Earl Slick graciously spoke to MusicTAP recently before finishing the first US leg of Bowie's "Reality Tour"

They're definitely good, but they're such an over the top homage to 70s rock that it almost moves into the realm of parody.

As for "new" stuff I've been listening to:
M.I.A. Arular. English female rapper from Sri Lanka who mixes heavily political lyrics with groovy beats that sometimes sound like they were made on a $25 keyboard salvaged from a dumpster (which they probably were).

Edited my post to add something to the thread. I like Wolfmother by the way. I'm not bashing them in the least.

Yup. The Black Metal thing probably comes from people comparing them to Black Sabbath, which also isn't Black Metal. They're like a 70s throwback to the darker psychedelic rock and roll.

Yeah thats what I thought, although there is a hint of Black Sabbath to them.

saw these guys in oxford about a year ago.. very, VERY good.. duo from ohio.

set you free - good jam

NewChief · 04-27-2006, 10:13 AM

Oh, another one that lots of people already know but which I just started listening to alot:

The Fiery Furnaces

You can hear their music on the music link of the site. White Stripes comparisons are inevitable, as they're a bro/sis duo. That being said, they're way weirder and more complex than the Stripes, whose whole point was to be simple and deconstructed.

If anyone is into Grateful Dead type jam bands, this band out of San Fran is pretty good, they have more pshychedelic guitar and a more modern sound to them than other jam bands
