Bands probably forgotten, but it's a shame….

Or how about Subway Sect?

I seem to have stepped into a high-snooty crowds topic!

Good call for Death In Vegas.

I’d certainly forgotten about this lot till god knows what reminded me

I always thought Del Amitri were a great band, both live & on vinyl.

Screaming blue massiahs
Georgia satellites
Reef
Ride
Triffids

Just the ones from my younger days 😉

JeZ

We can’t have a thread like this without having The Sound. They should have been bigger than u2′
Mr Woppit, I salute you.

Kerbdog were ace; I could probably still listen to both their albums in a row without skipping any songs.

Reef

Reminds me 😀

Great thread.
Particularly impressed with Gene being the first band mentioned. Saw them several times including their last gig at the (equally late and lamented) Astoria in London.
Also agree with Energy Orchard; superb band (the live album is tremendous) & the Bap Kennedy solo stuff is very good as well.
For me the great lost band/artist is Talk Talk/Mark Hollis. His only solo album was brilliant and since then all he has done is a bit of music for Boss (in a rather “blink and you’ll miss it” sort of a way).
Oh and is Harriet Wheeler from The Sundays the same HW as plays on the Metronomy album The English Riviera?

The Sandmen (not the Danish ones)
Mad Jacks
Asia Fields

I miss them all

And Paris Angels of course

I wouldn’t say Kerbdog count as forgotten? They’ve played sold out gigs here (Ireland) pretty much every year since they ‘broke up’ and last year did a successful UK tour, with sold out dates. Wasn’t there a new album last year too?

It was great to see a Joyrider video linked. Thanks Northwind. Found a load of their old EPs (and a Reservoir Prods tshirts – hah!) whilst clearing out my parent’s house the other week. If only I had something to play them on.

Another one I always loved was Baby Chaos, who I just discovered are supporting the Wildhearts. Jaysus. Seems like all the bands from my teenage years are getting back together lately. Starting to feel old here!

2 bands that ive always followed over the years but never seemed to quite make it…..
….and you will know us by the trail of dead, and six byseven

also good calls on senseless things and wildhearts.

Trail Of Dead are still going strong, Jason’s looking more and more like Old John Travolta though.

The Walkmen

Thought of another I wish would release more stuff: Circlesquare (sorry squares, not 80s or 90s!)
Geezer went off to do some painting or something, but did some singing on a Mugwump album this year, so maybe, just maybe…

Propellerheads
KLF
🙁

The Music

Meh, laziest bong-jockies whose gig I have ever been to!

Saw them in Truro about 12 years ago or something, played about 45 minute set and pushed-off with the whole crowd yelling for more. No encore, no interaction, nothin’.

I admit I was also suffering from having a full grown man land on my head while being thrown forward/crowd surfing. No-one was holding their hands up, and he landed directly on my bonce, ass first. Took a week before i could use my neck!

😆 sounds awesome!

We can laugh about it now.

I admit they SOUNDED pretty good, and they also provided the soundtrack to an interesting experience I had in a field in Exeter when the sky split in two and rays of pure condensed energy filled the heavens.

Then I stuck my face in the grass and became one with gaia.

Anyway, I have trouble forgetting them, myself 😆

used to go and watch the Band of Holy Joy at the Leeds Catholic Club back in the eighties

heard a track by Violette Femmes the other day

another favourite from my youth Les Négresses Vertes

Another +1 for the Music, excellent band especially in the early days.

Queen Adreena.

Jane’s Addiction. The biggest and best band on the planet for about a fortnight in 1990 just before they imploded spectacularly.

Reformed since and still touring, but perhaps best remembered for the old stuff..

I can’t believe (actually, I can) that no-one’s mentioned the mighty, MIGHTY Cardiacs:

And I’m going to give an honourable mention to the mighty Sugar:

Can I add a few……..

Doves
Garbage
Death in vegas
Senseless things
Were Super fury animals out in the 90’s?
EMF
KLF
Rocket from the crypt
Living colour
Queensrhyche

What a great thread.(deacon blue excepted).
pwei,buffalo tom,mega city four,adorable,wildhearts&golden palaminos+100.
I saw Eat a few times,very very good live band .shame about the substance abuse.
One time they supported the stuffies,miles and bass thing had a fight onstage.
That petrol emotion -one of the best gigs I have ever seen @Newcastle riverside .
My nominations, screaming trees,Sabres of paradise,the aloof ,apparat.
And ride and chapter house ……I’ll be up all night thinking of others.:-)

Ride just reformed.
Not sure why I mention that coz I absolutely hated Ride.
The wettest vocals since early Primal Scream.

Sugar (in fact anything that Bob Mould has had a hand in gets a thumbs up from me)

Tilted was a wall of sound

for me, there was no band greater than Fugazi

I went to see ride in May ..brilliant .andy bell wasted soooooo many years with oasis..
I see the vocals as delicate ,like Neil young 🙂
Can I have My bloody valentine as well?

Living Colour! Hell yes!

Vernon Reid was a bloody genius. Cleverly mixing jazz, rock, funk, punk and whatever else he could find. In another world, he’d have been seen as the next George Clinton or Prince, only saner. Much, much saner!

And

also Swervedriver

And while were at it
Mazzy Star …. Hope Sandival <3

for me, there was no band greater than Fugazi

Have you seen ‘Fugazi: Instrument’?

http://www.snagfilms.com/films/title/fugazi_instrument

Some of you lot really can’t be missing these bands too much! Do your research and you’ll find that Swervedriver, Mazzy Star Etc are still going…

To be fair they had broke up at one point or other and have reformed.

Placebo still around?
Rocket from the Crypt.

Hmm, that sounds like a theme for a different thread to me…
