thats a good shout, Monkeylad
Jessy Greene (The Jayhawks) plays/played with them.

Good one Harry! Love the Rainmkers. Saw them (and Steve, Bob&Rich) several dozn times while in Columbia Mo in the 80s.

Norways "answer to the Stones": Dum Dum Boys. They have been in business the last 20 years here, but they are not known outside the country limits - I believe? Too bad, it is a great rock band!

I would have to agree with you on the Geraldine Fibbers. I put up the Tower set on Dime a few weeks ago matched with another show and even an Ethyl Meatplow show.

Me 2. Lots of Stones influences, esp. in
Grillbaren and Linie 3 and in the live albums.

Hanoi Rocks - unknown in the U.S. Mudhoney, even more unknown now which suckes because their last album is their best one ever.

Actually WAY too many to name, I mostly listened to KXLU in the early 90's when I could still get it and made most of my CD purchases based on what I like. I still think the early 90's are the greatest music period in history. Somewhere along the line I turned into a lazy classic rock listening bastard but few of the shows I have seen in the last 10 years can even come close to the ones I saw 1991-1994.

Yeah a great band. Actually they have just released an EP and they have toured Denmark the first 3 weeks of December. Played in my hometown last Saturday, but I wasn't aware of that before too late and I had made other arrangements by then, so I didn't go.

I saw Trier live in the 80s, Roskilde. Closest I got. Amazing!
But I was a freak, searched for Trier's house etc.

i've heard of both those bands but i couldn't tell you what the first one sounds like - i assumed they were metal.

i saw mudhoney just a few years ago (but wasn't into it) - they were part of the grunge genre out of seattle in the early 90s, right?

More: Onna Taas Band, Rockamöllan - both extinct.
Helt Off!!!, Peps Blodsband.

Unwound -90's Seattle
Geraldine Fibbers is a good selection as well. Except I'm not a fan of what Nels did with the band. Not a good mix for them as it turned out.
Giant Sand- Tucson band with genius Howe Gelb at the lead.

Good call fellow North Carolinians......back in Raleigh in the 1970's there were some great bands, some of which had some regional success called the Fabulous Knobs, Glass Moon, and Arrogance.....then in the Southeast there were The Nighthawks, Catfish Hodge, the db's, and The Dixie Dregs

Signed - BUCKCHERRY

Unsigned - PUS, BLUE VALIUM

Oh....Helter, I've heard of Pus....my friend once played in that band...then one of his band mates got caught up in a Yoko Ono type relationship which ripped the band apart before the world got a chance to hear them.

Well, to throw in some more names, last Saturday I saw Jule Brown, Dexter Romweber, and Southern Culture on the Skids (SCOTS). A great night, my ears are still ringing.
