The Grifters. I thought Crappin' You Negative and Ain't My Lookout were brilliant, and then ... they just went away.

And what ever became of Basehead? That guy made three great records an vanished. Where did he go off to, anyway?

the swans!

Dis-

Aix Em Klemm (not really a band, I guess)

Ganger

Bailter Space

Wuhling

-Jeremy

haven't heard of half of these effin bands.

i second REX.

to whomever posted TARENTEL, i'm sure by now you realize they never disappeared. they're still constantly recording and releasing albums: full-lengths for TRL every couple years, and countless self-released albums that are wonderful. they did a series for THE MUSIC FELLOWSHIP and a bunch of other EPs or limited CDRs. also, jefre has his ROOT STRATA label that releases tarentel records as well as some wonderful bands, like ZELIENOPLE, MY CAT IS AN ALIEN, and GROUPER.

for "arty" guys they are hilariously funny.

I miss catching live (Láctea) ...

Older local St. Louis bands:

Phut

Man Igno

Spookhouse

Bands I wish didn't disappear:

Cherubs

Six Finger Satellite

Hammerhead (early)

Laddio Bolocko

...and a gazillion others.

Butthole Surfers - that is if we can also allow a slightly wider interpretation of "disappeared" as "they may as well be dead to me now..."

And another one where I don't know exactly if "disappeared" applies, but in hindsight I do really wish that I could have actually attended a Servotron gig.

Saw 'em at Cicero's in St. Louis quite some time ago. They were great. In your face!
