Bands that were way too short lived
 

I'm talking 2 LPs and an EP maximum.

Rapeman
Rites of Spring/Happy Go Licky

Slint (Reformed)
Codeine
Chavez (Reformed)

Chickasaw Mudd Puppies



White Dirt ep, 1990



8 Track Stomp lp, 1991

Birdmen Of Alkatraz

The Nerves

There's some other band that came out late 90s or so. Not talkin' bout them.

Talking 'bout the band with Peter Case, mid-70s, did orginal version of Hanging on the Telephone. Has two tracks on "DIY: Come Out and Play: American Power Pop I (1975-1978)"

Also, The Fucking Small Boys never seemed to get off the ground. Pity. Bad management? Artistic differences? We'll never know.

what about one last wish?

basquiat's band gray. their only release that i know of was in the movie downtown '81 and it was only one song. i think vincent gallo has all the recordings locked up somewhere.

the frumpies

How come Joy Division has not been mentioned?! Criminal! (well, they had a bunch of singles, but not edamnnough).
A ton of DC post-hardcore and shit... Embrace, for example...

Rites Of Spring (as mentioned)
Saetia
Hot Cross
Free Kitten (reformed)
Cibo Matto
Khanate
Vashti Bunyan (inactive for decades, with exception to the annimal collective collab)
Moss Icon (DC post-hardcore as mentioned, thanks Steve)
Weights and Measures
Notorious B.I.G

Big Star
The Sex Pistols
Teenage Jesus & The Jerks

all the bands that i like who broke up or otherwise dissolved after a short time ended at exactly the right time. cream, the smiths, nirvana, whoever...

Bombs of Death
Breadwinner

The Rolling Stones

... should die or change their setlist:D

yeah, no band was too short lived.

How You Sell Soul to a Soulless People Who Sold Their Soul?

Mclusky

Shipping News

Well, we have "Future Of The Left" now :)

Is it any good?

(a discreet look at the yahoo group)

;)

Oh, I like it quite a lot!
;)
I'll fulfill the hidden request asap (most likely later this afternoon)

p.s. : check pms, it was already out there :D

Hum, Jeff Buckley...

Arab on Radar
Q and not U
Heroin
Swing Kids

The Unicorns

Yeah I know, I've gotta check them out. We've also got Shooting At Unarmed Men from the other half of Mclusky. I haven't heard either yet though.

Future Of The Left sound like a "continuation" of McLusky's path, Shooting an unarmed man is different... 2/3 McLusky vs 1/3 he eh :)

It took me a couple of months to admit it, but future of the left and shooting both suck.

Young Marble Giants?

: praise:

And whoever said The Sex Pistols is an idiot. They could of said no more after Nevermind the Bollocks. They were one of the few bands (along with Nirvana) who stayed and lasted the right amount of time.

Wasn't there Johnny Depp in that band?
THE Johnny Depp.

it was better than the last two butthole surfers albums

The one and only album by "supergroup" P has been re-issued by Caroline Records. The band was formed by Gibby Haynes (Butthole Surfers), Johnny Depp (What's Eating Gilbert Grape, some movie about pirates), Bill Carter and Sal Jenco. The album also features guest appreances from Sex Pistol Steve Jones, RHCP's Flea and the legnedary Chuck E. Weiss.

The band made their debut at the 1993 South by Southwest Music Festival and became the informal house band at the Viper Room, the Los Angeles rock club co-owned by Depp. In 1995, Capitol Records, then home to the Butthole Surfers, released P's self-titled debut album.

The song, "Michael Stipe," gained some alternative rock airplay, and sales were respectable if modest considering the fame of the participants. The group proved to be short-lived, as Depp and Jenco returned to acting, Haynes continued touring and recording with the Butthole Surfers, and Carter released solo albums and collaborated with Howe Gelb of Giant Sand.

I can only think of Clor off the top of my head - 1 LP, good for putting the curtains up or changing your bedding.

Two Foot Flame

The only one I can think of is Void.
Actually maybe Big L too.

Orginal Line up of the Damned
Original line up of Napalm Death

Yes yes yes, the Nerves.

The Mabuses.

The Creation.

Too many Fall line-ups to mention.

from what i read, void was going to go more metal. maybe even butt hair rock metal since the guitar player started a hair metal band after void. they probably broke up at the right time.

i used to listen to big l when i would skate back in high school.

The Stone Roses
