In light of that 3-piece band thread, tell me who is your favorite band/musician/artist that is currently performing/recording. CONDITIONS: 1. Signed or Unsigned 2. No Top 40 3. Any type of music. Post youtube if available, or band website, or music links. Or tell us about them. Please no copyright infringement. I've discovered some of my favorite my music perusing the obscure satellite stations. I hope to discover more in this thread. | ||

+1, what Johnny said. Surfing the way-out satellite stuff is a good start, especially for folks far from top 40 drivel. Tune into WDVX, "East Tennessee's Own Listener Supported Public Radio". All the peeps involved in running the station are great- the radio station actually started in a one-axle camping trailer at a campground in Norris, TN. They've turned me onto more good music than I can tell. (Most of youn's will have to get the webcast on your 'puters, but you'll be glad you did...) Blues: Motor City Josh, his most recent recording is a tribute to Howlin Wolf. Kickass!! Hard to remove from one's CD player once loaded in... Jazz- Esperanza Spalding. This lil cutie pie OWNS the acoustic bass, sings like an uncaged bird, and writes some PHAT jass arrangements. Also addictive. Blues Guitar: Ana Popovic, "Still Making History". Best blues guitar chops this side of Susan Tedeschi, mebbe a little more technically proficient. Fun to look at too, but INCREDIBLE to see her live. From Yugoslavia. Brendon James Wright and the Wrongs. Great music, every single track cooks. Native Tennessean. Chris Knight. Check out "Love and a .45" and "William"- an absolutely phenomenal songwriter. Blue Mother Tupelo. They used my dounbek drum in their newest recording, roots folk, Micol is the next best thing to Janis Joplin. Native Tennesseans also. Ben Prestage, one man band, plays several cigar-box guitars and JAMS. Scott H. Biram, one man band also, multi-talented artist (GREAT posters if you can get 'em). Get on his emailing list, he plugs a bunch more great bands. Danny Barnes and Thee Old Codgers, "Things I Done Wrong". Warped countrygrass, killer lyrics, and the guys on this recording will sandbag you with their chops- many tracks give a hint of classical training and symphonic arrangements. Great CD! Also see The Bad Livers. Bonepony. Nashvillians, roots stomprock/Americana, great guys. Bill Frisell, "Gone, Just Like A Train". Guitar genius, think Mark Knopfler on shrooms. I may think of a few more later... (Message edited by 86129squids on August 27, 2009) | ||

The Pietasters Dirty, gritty, soul-ska-punk at its brutal best. "Willis" is is probably right up there on my top ten favorite albums. http://www.thepietasters.com/ Fu Manchu If Black Sabbath was formed in Southern California and sang about cars, girls, drinking, and getting high, this is exactly what they would sound like. If you like any three or more of the things on that list, you owe it to yourself to take a listen. King of the Road, Eatin' Dust, and California Crossing are my favorites albums of theirs. http://www.fu-manchu.com/default.html | ||

Unknown Hinson. "Live and Undead" is a live recording made at the Grey Eagle in Asheville NC on Halloween- this HAD to have been an off-the-hook show to see! Great CD, youn's should get it. Saw him live at the Shed recently, didn't know what to expect, absolutely BLEW ME AWAY. Serious guitar chops and a twisted sense of humor... Also- Nashville Pu%%y. RAWWKKK!!!! | ||

Fave UNSIGNED so far... Creepsville 666 from Phoenix Az. If you like Rockabilly/Psychobilly/Punk you'll absolutely love these guys. It took one listen and I was hooked. Kinda like The Reverend Horton Heat meets The Misfits. Check 'em out here: http://www.myspace.com/creepsville666 +1 on the Fu Manchu, fo sho! "In Search Of" is the catchiest album Ive ever heard. Definately one of my favorites. Its doob-tastic. (Message edited by torquemonster on August 27, 2009) | ||

I did some video work for these guys a few years back, I have been hooked ever since. Family Force 5 (often abbreviated FF5, formerly known as The Family and The Brothers) FF5 is from and was formed in Atlanta Gerogia. The three leading members of the band, Soul Glow Activatur, Phatty and Crouton, are sons of Jerome Olds, a Christian artist from the late 1980s. FF5 uses elements of rap, post-hardcore, alternative rock, punk rock, and club oriented crunk, electropunk, electronica and nu metal with positive, party lyrics in their music.

None of the youtube videos sound good but they sound very good in person. Here is the myspace link. http://www.myspace.com/cletusgotshot | ||
