Bands that have never been mentioned on TB

[Pauly 4001]

The Peddlers?
Perhaps too obscure but their "current" claim to fame might be that the drummer set up a studio in remote Spain where Bjork recorded her masterful Homogenic.

I don’t think I’ve seen anything about Death from Above 1979 or Lightning Bolt around here, which is strange because neither band has a guitar player, and the bass players in both bands are seriously cool.

I am a member of a band but it actually has been mentioned on here before, so that doesn't count ;-)

I did just join another band though, surprisingly enough, and they have not been mentioned on here I'm sure.

So that's one band, I guess. But I have a funny feeling that this isn't what the OP meant. ;-)

hahaha

The Weeks is just a feel good band with a great bassist and singer/songwriter. They released a song called “Slips” that has a Jameson-esque bass line (especially around the 3:30 mark). “Gold Don’t Rust” is a great one, as well. They live here in Nashville so I’ve gotten to see them a few times. They always put on a great live performance, and you can tell they live for music.



Love that Scottish singers voice in Camera Obscura. I’m assuming she has a Scottish accent, but you can only hear hints of it when sung. Really cool. I’ll have to check more of their stuff out. Unfortunately, I can’t hear the bass on my phone.

I was lucky enough to see them a few years ago, maybe 2016? Some little town outside Pittsburgh called Millvale. Their last record is, to me, about as perfect a record you can find: 'Desire Lines'.

'My Maudlin Career' is as good. All of their records are easily worth the effort.
They do a great copy of 10cc's song 'I'm Not In Love' in studio at KCRU. I just can't resist a great pop hook

Nope. Been on everyday for a few years now, and never seen any mention of any of them. Except by me.

Justin Meldal-Johnson, bass player on most of Beck's recordings and bassist in his live band, is mentioned often. He has a signature bass from Fender that is highly regarded and has his own (possibly now defunct) AMA forum on TB.

TwentyOne Pilots. The lead singer is a great songwriter and bassist. The drummer is beast.

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.

Even my band Canyon Oaks has been mentioned on here....mostly by me...but still.

This band changed my musical direction. I am grateful for that. New York based jazz funk rock. Schleigho.

Buster Poindexter?
Buster Rhymes?

 

[emblymouse]

The Atomic Bums! Indiana band. I had a demo cassette I cherished which disappeared.

Also worthy mention Royal Crescent Mob out of Ohio. They funked so hard the floor collapsed at Okayz Corral.

 

[BassFishingInAmerica]

I’m curious to see if anyone knows this band. Neil Alday and Further South. He was the former lead singer for Socialburn. The drummer from my old band is in this video.

There have been mentions of DFA79 going all the way back to 2011.
