    Such an amazing & inspiring band...... I'm a huge fan of John Stanier thanks to Helmet & Tomahawk (another of my favorite bands that no one has heard of)

    I only saw Battles once, at a small club a while back, they blew my mind.

    I can't wait to see them again.

    Dredg - Any time I get into this type of conversation with a friend this is the band I bring up. In 2003 I went to see Perfect Circle and I read someone's complaint about Danny Carey's side project Pygmy Love Circus opening th shows. They were disappointed Dredg was not opening the shows as they felt they were a good fit with APC's fan base. This was enough for me to go out and buy Dredg's current album at the time - El Cielo. I absolutely love it, top 5 favourite album of all time. It will likely take 3-4 good listens to get into it, but if you give it time you will grow to love it. (Side note - Pygmy Love Circus sucked when I saw them open, and Dredg's other albums don't compare to El Cielo, it's an absolute gem)

    I know that they were big in the UK but Kula Shaker is pretty obscure.

    Great band.

    Chris Smither is another one. Rediscovering Dead End Angels at the moment too, good stuff. I saw them live in Gruene, TX back in 2003 and haven't heard about them since.

    Hemming

    She opened for Chris Cornell last year (or maybe it was 2015). She was insanely good. Bought her record any quite enjoyed it. No one else seems to know about here. Hope she gets another album out.

    Alejandro Escovedo, Jesse Malin, Willie Nile

    Alejandro Escovedo is another good one. I'm seeing him next month with Peter Buck of R.E.M. playing guitar.

    YES!!!
    :blush:

    Sorry. I've been a rabid Church fan since... 1983, I think? True story: bored out of my mind in the flatlands, I read an article about the Church in Creem magazine (yes, I am old) -- an article that said, hey, this might be the greatest band in the world, if there were any justice these guys would be as big as the Beatles. So I had to check them out of course (I had a protracted Beatles phase when I was very young). First song I ever heard was "Shadow Cabinet," and it sounded as if someone had climbed inside my head and turned the chaos into music.

    I spent most of the '80s saying, no, NOT "Lords of the New Church," "The Church." Then "Under the Milky Way" hit and everyone thought they were one-hit wonders.

    I actually made a trip to Australia (this was before iTunes, YouTube, etc.) to hunt down rare Church B-sides.

    They're still killing it live -- amazing post-punk prog rock.
    All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.
