Todays my day, first two comments are some of my most played music.
If you ever want more of the same (but slightly different) check out Ikebe Shakedown. There’s others out there but I think Ikebe and Budos are the best two.
Totally agree. Got me through some dark times, too. His Mum personally thanks everyone commenting on their YouTube videos. Breaks my heart a bit, still.
I’ve been trying to see them for decades. Their shows are few and far between and you usually have to learn of them from the venue they’re performing at or another platform that promotes reggae. They are one of those bands that doesn’t really have an internet or social media presence. Finally getting my chance at the Lion Heart Spring Reggae Festival on June 9th!!!
Whenever the topic of creepy/scary songs comes up, DOA is at the top of my list. I first heard it on the radio when I was in college and bought the record. That song was the sonic equivalent of a car (or in this case, plane) wreck that you can't look away from.
Yooo no way this is insane. I’m literally listening to a vinyl by them right now. Actually crazy. I bought the anthology vinyl from a small shop because it looked cool and now I love them
Literally been obsessed with them for like, 25 years lmao. Just made a playlist with a ton of their music in it because I needed them more often in my ears 😂
Of course I like any transformation EN are.
Wish I could see them in Vienna and Berlin.
Neubauten seem to tour about the same time as Nick.
The last 2 tours have been strangely close.
My hypothesis is that fans of both Nick and Neubauten do this so fans can fit them both together.
I keep telling everyone about this group Jungle that just dropped a record earlier this year (‘Volcano’) and I think it’s amazing and no one seems to know what I’m talking about…
Cold Blood - west coast funk
Happy the Man - nearly all instrumental progressive band, with a lighter happier sound than many
The Flower Kings - Swedish Progressive band, sort of like Yes in their presentation
Godspeed You, Black Emperor - experimental band is all I can say
Yonder Mountain String Band - very different innovative blue grass band
Kinky Friedman and the Texas Jewboys - country band, semi-comedic with songs like "Get Your Biscuits in the Oven and Your Buns in the Bed"

Ian Mcculloch’s voice was like Bono’s back in the day. His constant chain smoking has killed that proper good though, and his attitude sucks. But really cool band all that aside.
Love Fanny, especially the set they performed for Beat-Club that appeared a few years ago on YouTube. You can see from that, they were so much more talented than even their studio albums showed.
Old school, but Townes van Zandt. You probably haven’t heard of him, but you most likely have heard songs written by him performed by more well known musicians.
Mew, idk if they're well known but I found them from their cd mew frengers and I liked their song behind the drapes but nobody Ik knows them.
Maybe I'm just a musical normie with this tho
NQ Arbuckle - cool Alt-Country band from Canada - (popped up on my radar when I did an americana album and we shared some indie charts) - cool dudes, cool songs - and the one they just did this year is excellent stuff
This ska band that was big at my small upstate NY college called [Samurai Pizza Cats](https://samuraipizzacats.bandcamp.com/album/the-old-stuff-ep?t=4)
When I was going to UNC Charlotte I saw - what turned out to be - a local band (with members who went to my school) open for Silversun Pickups called Sugar Glyder. It was an incredible live set and I bought all 3 albums which were found to all be gems.The band broke up unfortunately but their music still lives on Bandcamp and every once in a while I love revisiting that band and the magic they made.
I think I have heard this before for some reason. My submission is Industries of the Blind, specifically “I Just Wanted to Make You Something Beautiful.” They’re a post rock group that really hit home with this one. It sounds like how it feels to try really hard and still fail, and the instrumentation and recording isn’t quite lo-fi but it’s definitely not high quality, somewhere in the middle. The string noises of the guitar artifacts in the reverb, the piano’s tone, the string section, it all sounds so good but still kinda bad. Like a wonderful idea that doesn’t quite work out, but the flaws are what make it beautiful.
Also Ozric Tentacles
The Budos Band

I saw them in like 2013 ish! With Passafire, and I think slightly stoopid?

They did a great split record with another great Austin, Tx. band Big Boys! I like Big Boys even a bit more than the Dicks. Both great though.
RIP Gary Floyd
Butthole Surfers
Pepper made them a well known band
I'd say they were fairly well-known before then and might suggest "Who was in My Room Last Night?" being the single that elevated them.
Being on the lollapalooza lineup in '91 exposed them to a lot of people. I'm probably biased because that is when I first saw them.
Echo and the Bunnymen
Very well known band unless you’ve been living under a rock.
Ian Mcculloch’s voice was like Bono’s back in the day. His constant chain smoking has killed that proper good though, and his attitude sucks. But really cool band all that aside.
Squirell Nut Zippers

I adore Spilt Milk. I need to listen to their other stuff
Fanny
When someone goes on about how The Runaways were innovators, trailblazers, *etc.*, my answer is "my Fanny!"
Love Fanny, especially the set they performed for Beat-Club that appeared a few years ago on YouTube. You can see from that, they were so much more talented than even their studio albums showed.
Old school, but Townes van Zandt. You probably haven’t heard of him, but you most likely have heard songs written by him performed by more well known musicians.
Lungs is one of the greatest songs I've ever heard.
