Bands you wish everyone else knew about.
Every once in awhile someone somewhere will turn me onto a new band or group I hadnt heard of. Might be something older like Nat King Cole that you woldnt ever think you would like or something from your childhood that you just dont remember like Social Distortion that you have a new found respect for or a new band that you had to go find everything they had ever done.
Mine would be The Drowning Men, they were signed by Borstal Beat records after touring with Flogging Molly (BB is FMs label) the wife and I have seen them numerous times and its always a great show. http://www.thedrowningmen.com/ My personal favorite song is "Rita". Enjoy Im hoping to find some more good groups from this thread! |

I saw these guys live in 1985 when White Lies was in heavy rotation on MTV. They're still around, great energy band.

Big fan of Gov't Mule but really love Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac. One of my all time favorites. Green is really underrated, IMO.

Vista Kicks - they are opening for the Rolling Stones in northern CA where they are from. My niece went to school with them.

I saw John Cale the keyboardist/vocalist at a small club in Savannah about 1985. He was promoting the album John Cale Comes Alive. He was really good, if you can, checkout that album. I asked about any t-shirts and they let 3 of us go in his dressing room and we talked about 15 minutes. He was real nice, and we got these t-shirts that said "John Cale Comes Alive" and it had red splotches all over like blood, I thought it looked really cool. I saw Lou Reed about a year later on the Amnesty Int'l Tour. I got JC's autograph, I had him write "Music for a new Society John Cale", he liked that.

I thought we were talking about current bands that are up and coming or have been around but on the small circuit. If we're talking about older bands no longer around, the one of my old time favorites is Uriah Heep. The late great David Byron was one of the best front men of all time, I got to see them in '75 at their peak, fantastic show! They are still around, but only guitarist Mick Box is the original member. David Byron passed away in 1985. Here is a live performance from Don Kirshner's Rock Concert, filmed at Shepperton Studios in London 1974.

I cannot list Uriah Heep without mentioning my other all time favorite, Grand Funk Railroad. I bought their debut album in '69 when I heard TNUC on the local radio, that song title is **** spelled backwards. These guys are still around but have split into two different fractions. Don the drummer and Mel the bassist have two other players to replace Mark and have the legal name to Grand Funk. Mark Farner, the original vocalist and guitarist tours solo and cannot use the name Grand Funk, due to legal reasons. The last time they toured, the original power trio was '97 and '98 and I got see them in '98, and they were fantastic! Here's one of their best live performances that was recorded on Japanese Laser disc, Live at the LA Forum 1974.
