Bands worth knowing. You know but most in here would never have heard of.

And, while I’m at it, have a helping of Jimbo & The Soup Bones - they’re a bit off the beaten track so I’m guessing most on here won’t have heard them.

 

[WestGorton]

The Danse Society

 

[OccupiedPalestineBlues]

Now I’m supposing the popularity of Public Image Ltd and the Mekons will mean that a lot of folk know of Lu Edmunds (lead guitarist in PIL and vocalist & saz player in the Mekons) but maybe not be familiar with this other band that he plays in.

They’re called Les Trioboliques (the three testicles) and they are Lu Edmunds, Justin Adams & Ben Mandelson.
I’ve included 2 tracks because their catalogue is quite diverse.







I’ll be back in a couple of days with some absolutely rocking Mongolian Throat Singing (honest)

The Danse Society

Saw them at least twice in the 80s, really good band that never sold the records they should have.

Yorkshire goth stuff

Raging Slab were an American band very much like The Black Crowes only better (imo). The album ‘Dynamite Monster Boogie Concert’ is well worth a listen.
