DrW Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 (edited) Way back as a student in Germany in the 1970s (way back before you could check out music on the internet), I would go through the bargain sections of record stores in Hannover to look for something that piqued my interest. Usually, the bargain bins were stuffed with albums by artists you had never heard of (in Germany). On one of these shopping sprees, I saw (and bought) an album by the "Flying Burrito Brothers", mainly because the band name piqued my curiosity. This incident introduced me to...

SinceThe70s Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 11 hours ago, Ralonzo said: I probably went on a jag about this before but the two real principals on that album were vocalist David Wayne and bassist Kurt Vanderhoof. Wayne split/was sacked after the seminal "The Dark" album (or was it the live one), forming bands Reverend and Wayne, before dying from a car crash in 2005. Vanderhoof continued with Metal Church, finding his own version of Arnel Pineda or Ripper Owens but also took on a side-project in Presto Ballet, "playing in the style of American prog rock like Styx and Kansas." Speaking of dead singers, let's throw out another contemporary of theirs here, called Trouble. Migrating a somewhat different path from doom to stoned out psychedelic-metal (who covers the Monkees?), they intersect that metal space in the late 80's. With singer Eric Wagner passing last year, here's one for a couple of real belters, the aptly titled... Thanks for sharing bad-@ass! Trouble had some great albums but I never saw them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrW Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 The highlight of this clip is Barbara Thompson. Her sax solo starts at about 5:30. Sadly, she died earlier this year of Parkinson's disease. She had been married to drummer Jon Hiseman. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrW Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 German band I had never heard of before I came across them on youtube. While the chat between the songs is in German, most songs are in English. Musically, a fascinating mix of punk, rock, folk, and a bit of Rammstein. Most importantly, no guitars; instead, two violins and a cello (plus bass and drums). The lead singer looks like a grown-up version of the lead character Aang in the animated TV series "Avatar: The Last Airbender" (my kids were just at the right age when that series came out; thus, I have seen a lot of it). Enjoy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SinceThe70s Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Merry Christmas music lovers! Here's a HS marching band playing Xmas songs indoors. Back story is marching band season went long cuz the football team made a deep playoff run and then they had to learn Xmas songs for their cross-country trip to Disneyland two weeks ago. Normally after marching season they split into three bands and have time to prepare for the winter concert, this was the compromise. Each of the three bands also played one other song including the honors bands traditional finale with alumni: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrW Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 A very unusual band - Rasputina. Their usual set-up is a trio with two cellos. They have been around now for 30 years, fronted by Melora Creager on vocals and - you might have guessed it - cello. And they have done some beautiful covers...
