Favourite local band?

[DaveCinzano]

actually, this thread inspired me to dig out 'alive', a compilation cd from the 1996 easton summer festival

there's 3 tracks from the does-what-it-says-on-the-tin 'new ted underhill organ express': 'goldfinger', '2001' and 'hawaii five o'... i think you can guess what they sound like

 

[DaveCinzano]

forgot to say, there's a handy bristol music site with lots of free downloads:

www.maniccompression.com

run by dj madds (who used to run a weird avant-beats night called, um, manic compression iirc), not too many artists featured atm, but still plenty to test out (and the oil experts' sonic inferno 'zombie love' is up there )

 

[DaveCinzano]

and chikinki did some great stuff before they just sort of disappeared (after signing to island?)

 

[Sunspots]

anyone seen Team Brick?

Yes, he was sat next to us in the pub last night.

-I did not see his... Ring Modulator.

another vote for the mighty ging, and the same for the zen hussies (dapper gentlemen all), and rita lynch - i had the pleasure of sitting in on a radio recording she did, and the hairs on the back of the neck were tingling.

i found kid carpet by far the most enjoyable thing i saw at ashton court, and i like actual size too... and bucky are brill live

no one appears to have mentioned madnomad

bill cargill's the raconteurs were superb, gravelly-voiced dole soul; and ruth hammond (also of forster-hammond trio) did a great jazz album a few years back...

then there's oil experts and stoloff & hopkinson - found sounds and foggy beatscapes...

rock-wise i would really rate bikeshed, white trash ambition, cléan, the barbs and, um, loads of others

i am fool. i love madnomad

 

[DaveCinzano]

i am fool. i love madnomad

all of urban loves madnomad, even those who've never heard madnomad

100% of mk1 madnomad, and 2 of um however many there were in the live band are old skool urbanites also and pk loves madnomad...

what's not to love about madnomad?

let's kill the pig

 

[bristol_citizen]

The Moonflowers anyone?

 

[Sunspots]

100% of mk1 madnomad, and 2 of um however many there were in the live band are old skool urbanites also

I believe one-time/some-time poster Drive Like Jehu is now in Thee Go Commando, who I'm hoping to go see this Saturday at Espionage...

 

[RubberBuccaneer]

Talisman

[DaveCinzano]

if you see him, send him our love (in the lantern-jawed purely platonic sense of 'love')
