Prickly Pete Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 As hard as I try, I still can't think of the best band I've never heard of. I'm starting to believe it's because I've never heard of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Poojer Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 here's a local philly area band that has been getting some airplay. the vocals are a bit 'sqeeze-like', the band has a bit of an e-street band vibe. I dig this song alot, and let them know via twitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poojer Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Tal Wilkenfeld - she's the bassist for Jeff Beck's band, a "prodigy", I knew she was incredible, just based on reputation, unbeknownst to me, she was the opener for The Who last night(and on the entire tour), she is amazing...oh and she's very cute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Poojer Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 here's a band that's been making noise for a couple/few years, they have a very cool retro rock sound, in fact they just did a kickass version of Steely Dan's "Peg" on one of the late night talk shows.

Captain Caveman Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Anybody that likes new rock and roll should give Pile a listen. Start with Magic isn't real. Most of the stuff on their label (Exploding in Sound) makes me happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Poojer Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Check out this cat, sounds like an old 1920's wax recording from a Delta Bluesman, but its a young Australian dude! http://thekey.xpn.org/2016/05/02/c-w-stoneking-2/#more-195143 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Poojer Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 (edited) saw a whole slew of bands this weekend that fly under the radar but shouldn't, among my favorites of the 30+ that were at my festiva l(http://xpnfest.org/lineup/) Ryan Adams, probably not unknown, but certainly not as known as he should be Femi Kudi - legendary Afro-bear performer Fela Kudi(seriously, check them out) David Wax Museum OJR(Oliver John-Roberts), the Acid Cowboy The Districts Edited July 25, 2016 by The Poojer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Best Player Available Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Rory Gallagher Iron City Houserockers Rory left this planet way too early. Once when Jimi Hendrix was asked " what's it like to be the besst guitarist in the world?" His reply was " I wouldn't know you would have to ask Rory Gallagher". Rory was a true bluesman and his often introduced "interpretations" of blues standards were sometimes better than the original recordings.

Chef Jim Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 (edited) This is the best musician not band. Jaco Pastorius. I knew of him many years go when I was a big fusion fan and loved Weather Report. I had forgotten about him until recently. I've been on a Netflix music documentary kick recently and I came across his. I had no idea he played on many Joni Mitchell songs until I re-listened to them. His sound is so unique it's hard to miss. I also didn't know he was murdered. Sad way to go but at least it freed him, and his family, from his demons. I suggest, if you're a music fan, you watch it. It's just called Jaco. Here's Birdland by WR. I have that song memorized and wore out the needle on my record player listening to it. I wasn't even thinking that if it weren't for his bass playing this song wouldn't exist. Joni was writing this song and no one could get the bass line she wanted. She heard him once and said "get him!"
