Bands that have never been mentioned on TB

[knumbskull]

I wonder if they ever did gigs with…

(you’ll have to look it up)

My friend saw them live, the singer poured a pint of beer over his (my friends’) head at one point.

 

[Bunk McNulty]

Redwing. from Sacramento CA. Tim Schmidt was bassist for a while. He went to Poco, and Redwing was on the road to nowhere. "Country funk" in 1971? No Commercial Potential.

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

yeah i had one of their albums, Jurassic Shift. It was good!

their old flute player now runs the sound desk in a south London venue, so i catch up with him whenever we play there.

 

[Michedelic]

Your friend was lucky it was just beer.

 

[Indexed]

Bubble Puppy.

 

[Pdaddy1978]

Dred Zeppelin has been mentioned a number of times, Mary’s Danish as well.

Yeah... Now that I think about it...
Probably by me.

 

[The Mogpipe]

I picked up this Sopwith Camel LP in a thrift store.
There’s some really cool stuff on here, so I did a search and saw nothing mentioned about them.
Here’s one cut.
Edit: I guess it goes to the whole album. The 7th track has some nice walking bass.


The Good Rats!

Oddly enough, I’ve been friends with their bassist for ages. He’s a damn fine player.

Heard their music on a downhill mountain biking video, it took forever finally found a promo copy that’s the only thing I’ve ever seen of the band and nobody I know knows of them

DH MTB videos were great for finding bands. I love Rise Against and Clutch, mostly because they were in great videos.

I picked up this Sopwith Camel LP in a thrift store.

"Hello Hello" was their big hit. Their drummer played on "Spirit In The Sky" and was in Blue Cheer for awhile.

 

[Smooth_bass88]

Freakwagon. They're not good. At all.

 

[brianrost]

Boston bands from the 80s

People In Stores

Death In The Shopping Malls



Salem 66





The Dark (the "Judy" in this song was Judy Grunwald of Salem 66)



Quivvver

"Hello Hello" was their big hit. Their drummer played on "Spirit In The Sky" and was in Blue Cheer for awhile.

A few songs on their other album have a kind of Randy Newman thing going on.

 

[PaulS]

Jeffrey Gaines. Singer songwriter but he always gets good players. The bass fills on this tune really nice

 

[MichelD]

The Collectors

 

[BassFishingInAmerica]

Redwing. from Sacramento CA. Tim Schmidt was bassist for a while. He went to Poco, and Redwing was on the road to nowhere. "Country funk" in 1971? No Commercial Potential.

I’d be surprised if they weren’t buddies with The James Gang.

 

[brianrost]

Another Aussie band. I used to cover this (badly) in a band in the late 80s.

 

[bass12]

Eek-a-Mouse

It’s not unusual to see Eek-A-Mouse mentioned in reggae threads on TB.
