always nice to see SOMEONE mention band of susans.

why didn't anyone mention pere ubu?

*edit: once again, another weird thing where i respond to the first page of the thread without reading the second page and someone DID mention ubu just above this reply. oh well.*

deathbombarc · 09.29.2007, 07:56 PM

older stuff:
the first Rollerskate Skinny album rules, but a little hard to find.
anything by Rrope. (check out an mp3 here: http://www.sillybirdrecords.com/mp3.html )

more recent stuff:
Coughs
Child Pornography
Aa
Warbler

honestly i could make a list so big that it would become useless even though all the bands would rule.

Empty Bottles, Broken Hearts by The Murder City Devils...'90s stuff but nice relaxing organ music.

I'd like to listen to anything that is very rocking while still being arty with a bit of pop sensibility.

Polvo, WIRE, and Mission of Burma seem to be all right on the mark in that regard IMO.

polvo guitar bears a striking similarity to some captain beefheart like trout mask replica

I disagree, as someone who counts Beefheart and Polvo as two of his all time favorite bands, I don't think their guitar lines are similiar at all; they both use pretty weird riffs, but Polvo are whammy bar abusers, whereas the Beefheart guitarists mainly just slide everything to death. And Spectral was asking for art punk kinda stuff, not just bands with weird riffs.

But.. since you decided to bring up Beefheart.. I've been meaning to do this for a while..

1. Ice Cream for Crow
2. Lick My Decals Off, Baby
3. Doc at the Radar Station
4. Trout Mask Replica
5. Shiny Beast
6. Safe as Milk
7. Clear Spot
8. Strictly Personal
9. Unconditionally Guranteed
10. Bluejeans and Moonbeams

That's what I think.

I recently acquired "The Magic Band - Back to the Front", which is former Magic Band members doing instrumental and Beefheart-impressions of their old songs. Okay stuff. The better thing I found was O SOLO DRUMMO, John French doing Beefheart songs on just drums, right? Well, it's a 65 minute drum solo disc. Its amazing. Look for it.

Everyneurotic · 10.01.2007, 06:29 PM

try the band tttttttttttttttttttt (yeah, that's their name); they have a 3" out on brise cul; instrumental dirty weird out of tune riffage that refers to jesus lizard, polvo, unwound, etc.

also, check out anything on amphetamine reptile.

atsonicpark · 10.01.2007, 06:58 PM

amphetamine reptile or skin graft are my <3

HaydenAsche · 10.01.2007, 07:14 PM

SKIN GRAFT.

Arab on radar.

atsonicpark · 10.01.2007, 07:39 PM

well

arab on radar are okay and probably are the best reccomendation for what he wants (besides us maple) but when i think of skin graft, i think of yowie, space streakings, shakuhachi surprise, mount shasta, melt banana, did scissor girls release something on there? then scissor girls, point line plane, dazzling killmen, collossamite, all my favorite bands.

they are super neat, though.

k-krack · 10.01.2007, 08:02 PM

U.S. Maple sayer, you've been repped. One of the best bands ever.

Black Eyes, anything on Skin Graft, I guess getting more punk/hardcore... anything on Three.One.G...

etcetcetc... I'm sure lots ahs already been said... did I already post here?

Yeh really! You forgot like, the two best bands on the band! - like! DEFINITELY THE BEST ONES.

atsonicpark · 10.01.2007, 08:17 PM

hmm i guess i forgot ruins cuz my favorite album by them is on ipecac! but yeah, no excuse for missing flying luttenbachers.

for the record, my favorite skin graft band is either dazzling killmen ("face of collapse" is a future classic album) or mount shasta.

dharmabumTX · 10.02.2007, 05:26 PM

Saw Scotland's Twilight Sad (www.myspace.com/thetwilightsad) at SXSW earlier this year. Most intense band I've seen in a long while, walls of white noise.

Another couple I came across from the same area that I reckon are worth a listen are Broken Records (www.myspace.com/brokenrecordsedinburgh) & Frightened Rabbit (www.myspace.com/frightenedrabbit)

.

well all i have is trout mask so thats what im talking about and when i saw polvo for celebrate the new dark age he used the shit out of the slide.

and also of course cb has the two guitarists with two very different styles so i dont know if thats creating disagreement as well.

and striking similarity is certainly a relative term but still one day a couple years ago i was finally really getting into trout mask and i was all whoa what a sec wtf i never saw that one coming in a million years.

atsonicpark · 10.03.2007, 02:30 AM

Yeah, it's no biggy, and it's good that someone loves beefheart and polvo; nice to meet you! Haha.

I was just saying.. I don't think Beefheart was really the kind of stuff was looking for.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead · 10.03.2007, 12:58 PM

A few of the bands mentioned I'm already familiar with -don cab, hella, go4, chrome, pere ubu, the flying luttenbachers, captain beefheart, PIL, Can, and the Fall. There are a few others you mentioned that I know of but I'm not very familiar with.

I enjoy all of them, although I thought the luttenbachers were a little pretentious when I saw them live. What's with the drummer looking like a bug? Seriously! It is a dumb gimmick.

I'm checking out some of the suggestions right now. Everything is good so far.
