Recommend 5 bands from your town

Past or present, famous, infamous or unknown.

Thought it could be an interesting thread.

NOTTINGHAM, UK

1)The Tindersticks
Off-kilter lo-fi soul pop of a sort, with wobbly baritone vocals. Pretty depressing but nice and delicate.

2)Bob Tilton
Proto-emo from the mid 90's, signed to Southern. Emo pioneers - so much to answer for!

3)Spin Spin The Dogs
Dada-ist doo-wop, deranged singer, something of the Beefheart about them.

4)Lords
A rollicking mix of ZZ Top, Thin Lizzy and all things RAWK.

5)Gareth Hardwick
Dronetastic!


What rocks where you live?

He went to bed about a decade ago, or whenever he sold his soul to the bankers and the elites.

Well, I did say past or present, famous or unknown, so you could just go for five famous bands from the past.

Would be pretty demoralising though...

5). Test Icicles.

Ok - I kid. But I dare anyone to come up with a list of 5 decent bands from London who are operating at present.

Europe's most important metropolitan city = Worst city on the face of the Earth for music. How does that work.

And I'll finally have the pleasure of checking out Gareth's work when I see him supporting Daniel Higgs in November.


1)Part Chimp
2)Hey Colossus
3)LUdO
4)Gonzo Four
5) Um... i am become? Bogus Gasman? ha. You pick one then.


Lewisham/ish-

1)Flux Of Pink Indians
2)Conflict
3)Kate Bush
4)Billy Jenkins/Ginger Baker
5)Spike Milligan (yeah, I'll have his songs)
Credo!
