Bands that have never been mentioned on TB

[DirtDog]

Captain Beefheart.

Oh, wait. They came up in the “bass player called for being out of tune” thread.

 

[Richland123]

City Boy

I have posted City Boy in the past. I even have a few of their albums.

I should have known.

And I also own at least one City Boy vinyl LP. We're old.

They frequently get mentioned here in any thread where someone talks about Zappa.

City Boy guitarist Mike Slamer went on to play with other bands such as Streets and has done much studio work including guitar solos on the first two Warrant albums.

Did not know that. I do believe that was a collection of some very talented cats who could and should have gone on to other things.

PJ Harvey and John Parish. This is a track for real PJ fans btw.

 

[tbz]

Yeah. They have a drummer, and a guitarist. They also have a guy dressed like a mummy in a trench coat, doing the robot, drinking a 40, puffing on a blunt, and holding signs...the entire show.

Right.

Why would anyone ever mention them on a bass guitar forum then lol.


We also rarely mention The Sugar Hill Gang, RunDMC or the Fat Boys.

 

[Volker Kirstein]

Babe Ruth

But...

There was a 3 reply thread in 2017, and I mentioned them in a similar context last week.

 

[JeezyMcNuggles]

Bro, fat boys got bass

But if I mention Jules and the Polar Bears here, that mean's they've been mentioned on TB and therefore should not be posted here. Uh oh, I'm caught in a loop.

 

[Moon Fetus]

I think it may be more a "peer-guided focus of aspiration" rather than age.

I imagine there aren't any mentions of Slovenian Polka either, but it's heritage is measured in centuries...

Makes sense! I'll springboard off that into some European stuff, anyone here into neofolk? An offshoot of post-industrial, kind of stylistic pastiche of traditional European folk music, psychedelic folk, and industrial aesthetics. Lots of tasty use of the bass guitar, Allerseelen in particular has some good bass riffs and gnarly tone.

PJ Harvey and John Parish. This is a track for real PJ fans btw.

I don’t think she will.
She was slightly out of key on the barking part.

 

[Michedelic]

I actually asked Sklar about how he felt regarding that sample. His response indicated that he was not pleased with Massive Attack.

Yeah, I think sampling is lame and artistically bankrupt.

The high point of the track!

They’ve been mentioned by others

 

[Flatwound]

City Boy

In a band I was in in the early ’80’s, we had a drummer who would buy every City Boy album as soon as it came out.

 

[Yogi Bear]

Some of the bands I'm seeing as not mentioned, have been mentioned. I know I've mentioned many of them. Including...

Cracker
Van Morrison
Descendents/ALL
Radiohead
The Offspring
Kaipa

Does anyone ever mention the utterly awesome Ozric Tentacles? Some killer bass groove on this one:
