Robert Kearns. He has stayed busy touring with Nashville artists. Last I heard he and Audley were both on the Sheryl Crow tour.

Cool! Thanks for the info and pics! Might just have to see if Sheryl is going to be around my neck of the woods. Thanks again!

Ours. Way underrated. "Distorted Lullabies" is a great record

The Good Rats

Ahh Pepe and his brothers absolutely agree. My friends and I followed them around from the early times back in 1976 we started to sneak into clubs to see them back in the day Lenny on bass was killer later replaced by Bruce Kulick and then of course Schuyler "Shady" Deale. I played in a place back in the mid 2000 that The Good Rats were playing at little time later we lost Pepe. They did get to play some big areas though but never became a household name. RIP Pepe Rubber rats and Baseball bats

Porcupine Tree (my personal favorite)

Riverside

Ozric Tentacles

The Pineapple Thief

I always thought RIOT would have been bigger. Just being a band that was around for over 30yrs is remarkable in itself.
Great music although a lot of personnel changes.

Crack the Sky.

What he said!

I know this. the bands I listed, and many others too? I'm not sure they are in it to be wildly successful. They aren't doing music that is going to have mass appeal and I think they know it. They are happy apparently doing what they wish to do and having their little cult followings.

I had a cassette by them (Fire Down Under, I believe). I thought they were a cool band. Loved Swords and Tequila!

GREAT album! My favorite one.

Mother's Finest! Good one! That band KILLED live.

Baby Love is a funk rock JAYUM!

Mother's Finest did pretty well. Had a couple of commercially successful tunes. Still out there touring, if I'm not mistaken.

I saw a concert back in the day that was opened by a group called "Kindred." Blew away the headliners. Later I tried to buy some of their music and found it didn't exist. Very good, live group.

Also, Better than Ezra.

 

[Dave Siff]

Descendents/ALL
Big Drill Car
Lagwagon

 

[looper]

The Replacements






Walt Mink

 

[THUNDERGODX]

Ursa Major- Big name guitarist with other projects. (Dick Wagner-He was in Alice Cooper's Band, toured with him in this band.)
Max Webster-Canadian band-Collaborated with Rush-Check out "Battle Scar" if you like bass.
( I Know You Do)
Bullet Boys should have been bigger. Singer Marc Torien(?) screamed rings around David Lee.

I was gonna say that about Little Feat. “Waiting for Columbus” was hugely popular. And still is. At least down hear anyway.

Love me some F-E-A-T. We call them Little Feat! AAMOF, the 2nd disc from "Waiting on Columbus" is in the deck in my car right now. And yes, I AM OLD!
