Bands That You've Just Starting Listening To ? (1 Viewer)

[bringbackrattles]

I've mentioned on here before how I'm late in listening to Bob Dylan and how much I now enjoy his music. Well the same could be said also of Deacon Blue a band I've ignored over the years. But after listening to them recently I have to say they are brilliant ! Some of the tracks have an edge to them and as I thought they were a pop band I've been surprised to find they do rock stuff. Also like the Guillemots too who have a chilled out sound and wish I'd listened to them before.
What bands/acts have you just "discovered" ?

James Last. Heino, Germanvolksmusic. Dj otzi. Strange music choices. Different.

not quite just, but bringing back a bit of the Twang and Pigeon Detectives.

Tribute band.

 

[Gazolba]

Not just started listening to, but heard about much later than I should have: The Great Society.
That's the band that Grace Slick was in before she joined Jefferson Airplane.

 

[Gazolba]

The Silver Beatles.

That was one of the early names of the Beatles. Actually it started as Silver Beetles. I have an old cassette tape of them with that name.
In those days, they had Pete Best and Stu Sutcliffe as members.

I knew that but there is a Beatles tribute band called Silver Beatles. I googled it !

Heavy Metal band ?

I think they're referred to as experimental hip hop but their songs are quite heavy.
I gave them a go after hearing some one say that they were the closest thing the States has to Sleaford Mods but I don't really get that comparison myself.

Scott Walker.......

....BBC 6 music have been doing some specials on him over the last week or so.....

I always assumed he was just a baritone voice singing Burt Bacharach numbers.......but he is a fucking total genius & I've just put all his solo albums on my spotify.....

I always fucking hated Deacon Blue. Bland band.

I don't like his later stuff but those early solo albums are great. Track down "Montague Terrace (In Blue)". Amazing song, could make the lyrics into a screenplay.

So did I to be honest. But they're not bland or boring at all. Give them another try !

I think my mum and dad liked them !

Saw Ride at the Benicassim festival a couple of weeks ago and they played a fine set. Vaguely remember them from their heyday some 25 years ago and have started listening to them and their shoe gazing contemporaries such as Slowdive and Swervedriver since I got back. Some good stuff to be had!

Dunno about that BBH, hardly slept a wink due to the heat at night. My excuse anyway!

Surprisingly a bit of Franz Ferdinand for me. I love the Sparks/Franz (FFS) collab so thought I'd give them a listen.

I've heard nothing but good things about FFS but haven't had chance to check them out yet.

You should, it is a great album. I doubt they will do anything else together, so it'll always be a real high.

Find The Twang utterly awful.

Started listening to the Jesus & Mary Chain again. Psycho candy is class.
