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

I find the thread title confusing. Iv'e never heard of them, but i should talk about how I should have?

Ok.

There is this band I've never heard of, in fact, I bet you haven't either, but you should have. They were called the The Kettles of Hell. Jimmy Kettoh started the band in the early sixties, as a push back against the rising cost of living in the post war Skint Britain. With classics like The Breads Too Dear and How Much You ****? And probably their finest work, My Wages Last a Day.

Jimmy attended a weekly event at the Probation Service where he met Eddy "No Ears" Carter, the joke being Eddy had ears like fucking bin lids. Eddy didnt play the guitar conventionally, chords and shit, instead he threw stones at it and went with whatever sound emerged.

They needed a drummer and found one in the sainted Freddy Foxglove. He had just been released from Broadmoor and was available with an empty social diary and access to a bedford van.

Their first album, How the Inflation Rate Fucks You, was described by absolutely no one, as a watershed. As if the lid of an abstract universe was peeled back to reveal an index linked distopia, so inflationary it overwhelmed all who heard it. Which, was absoluteky no one.

Infighting and musical differences emerged and Eddy in particular wanted to explore the ignominious relationship between Fiscal Policy and the Laws of Diminishing Returns. Jimmy was having none of it and went into one of his famous huffs.

The end came quickky when Jimmy stood up in the Cows Arse Bar and Grill and shouted. Thats it, I'm fucking off to Chad. He has never been seen since. But everytime i hear the inflation rate has risen, I think of Jimmy and the Kettles and smile. What a band.

Fair enough.
One page in and the thread is derailed already, so probably needed explaining.

What I was looking for was bands most people in here probably never heard of, but you think they’re good enough to mention.

A clip of one of their tracks as an example, would help.

The Kettles sound decent. I wonder where Jimmy is now.

Me too. Jimmy may have been an imaginary figure,but he meant so much to me. All I hope is he is happy and free from the hell of inadequate distribution wealth syndrome.

Title change just for you.
Hope Jimmy is ok, the poor bastard.

To the rest of you.
Rush and The Beatles are not what I had in mind. Think most of us have heard of them.
