storm and stress, battles - ian williams from don cab is involved with these
hella - duo, fast drums, fast guitar, get 'Hold Your Horse Is', most of everything else by them is pants
crime in choir - sometimes has zach from hella on drums, i wish he'd play beats like this more often, songs are fairly weak tho
volta do mar - 2 basses, drums and guitar, gets a bit samey, don't like the start/stop thing too much, but at least they develop ideas and have some movement in their songs
U.I - some hip music journo's band? 2 basses and drums and splashes of other stuff, i love these guys, makes great party music too
dilute - did a split with hella, mostly instrumental, beautiful guitar work, expertly crafted songs, 'grape olive spinach blueprint' (or something) is the one to get.
all these new jammy bands, sunburned hand of the man, vibracathedral orchestra etc etc
oxes - glorious instrumental rock music, two guitars and drums, very 'cool', well-picked riffs, not over the top
those are some of my most listened to.
btw, did anyone see hella in london the other night? anyone else disapointed with it? are they usually good live? i mean they're amazing, but everything just ended up sounding the same. i don't find this with them on cd.

Really? I thought that was a very interesting listen as you could hear the bones of the song and pick things apart. After hearing those demos, I gained even more respect for the tunes.
Trans Am has completely fell off of the cool band chart, but there are some good tracks on their records. (I haven't heard the last two.)

Especially the second half, where it becomes *really fucking beautiful* as well as impressive. May try Volta do Mar (lol their name, it's like a band called Gigante del Gentile)

Awe man, for some reason that post reminded me of an album that I haven't heard in a long time, but is totally great:
The Danny Gatton live album "Redneck Jazz Explosion" with Buddy Emmons.
Amazing stuff. Look up some clips of Gatton playing, pretty fascinating.
― grandavis, Thursday, 5 August 2010 16:44 (fifteen years ago)
Maserati... can't believe I've only just heard them last week. Seconding the Grails recommendation upthread. I haven't yet heard a dud album from them.
― WARS OF ARMAGEDDON (Karaoke Version) (Sparkle Motion), Thursday, 5 August 2010 16:57 (fifteen years ago)
Redneck Jazz Explosion seconded! incredible album.. there's a 2 cd reissue that came out a few years back that contains both shows in their entirety, iirc.
― hobbes, Thursday, 5 August 2010 18:17 (fifteen years ago)
Maybe this is an old guy thing. I'll second Maserati and Grails. Also, I keep going back to various live Mermen sets on the Internet Archive.

i have a soft spot for some Harvey Mandel.. Cristo Redentor, Baby Batter, The Snake are all full of smokin hot grooves.

― hobbes, Thursday, 5 August 2010 18:26 (fifteen years ago)
Awesome! I haven't owned this record in years, but I am on a guitar-solo AND pedal steel kick somewhat, so this is just the ticket. Hard to explain what this band was going for that wouldn't put people off, but they sure nailed it. Super-virtuosic, shredding, and tasteful somewhat all at once.
Someone mentioned "Sleepwalking" above, which will forever be a winning answer to this kind of question. I just saw a posted YouTube of Danny Gatton playing a solo rendition, which, while I haven't watched it yet, I can only imagine is jaw-dropping, cause kinda all of his playing is. I'm gonna check it out when I am not at work!
― grandavis, Thursday, 5 August 2010 18:41 (fifteen years ago)

Gatton plays "Sleepwalking".
― grandavis, Thursday, 5 August 2010 18:43 (fifteen years ago)
Gatton was indeed a jawdropper. Pedant alert, "Sleepwalk" not "-ing." And I don't think there's much love for Brian Setzer around here, but I think this is great:

― WARS OF ARMAGEDDON (Karaoke Version) (Sparkle Motion), Thursday, 5 August 2010 19:10 (fifteen years ago)
Ah right, "Sleepwalk". Not sure how the -ing got into my brain, but pedantry earned. It is a classic song that should not be sullied by me.
Gonna watch that other vid later for sure. B. Setzer is alright by me.

Vernon Reid's 2006 album Masque is a total, total pleasure in my opinion. attn 80s new wave geeks it has a cover of "enjoy the silence" w/o vox. you'll hate it but I love it, so nyah.

That’s a neat take... the title track is in the same space as “albatross” or the last track on super session, smokey moody bliss

I've probably mentioned this on another thread, but Harvey Mandel's "Wade in the Water" was one of the first 45s I owned as a kid, back when you could buy a bag of 5 cutout singles for the price of one new one. Divided into Part 1 on the A side, Part 2 on the flip. I wore that sucker out.
