arggghhh ur just trying to counter point me arent U LOL !!!!!!

bottom line Music is more .... "accessible" these days

No, you said there's no such thing as unknown.

What point are you trying to make here, because i'm confused.

for fans of mr bungle, you might enjoy Tub Ring.



i also wanted to throw a video of a band called Bend Sinister in here, who are in some ways reminiscent of The Mars Volta (just a lot less complex and more articulately melodic) but i couldn't find a link to any of the tracks i'm familiar. needless to say, going to their show in a place that couldn't have packed more than 100 people in it was the best 5 bucks i ever spent in my life.

and whiskey, aside from the subjective nature of the word "unknown," i feel this thread was a good idea. thanks buddy.

i don't have alot and im sure some ppl know them,
Kasmir
Pete & the pirates
Mother, Mother
The thermals

More will come to mind later..
apart from Kashmir and maybe Pete & the pirates i wouldn't recommend any of them, their just good not great.

Hammer No More the Fingers

(As an aside, the boy in the video is my adorable cousin who they handpicked to dance like a dork in their video.)

Freekbass

This man can slap some sick bass.

The Freak Fandango Orchestra

They're pretty killer. I'd say that if you dig Gogol Bordello, you'd probably have some sort of enjoyment for them. That's the most similar artist I can think of. As an aside, this song is the one my bros and I are planning on using in the opening credits of our sketch comedy ****.

These are just three that sprang to mind immediately. I don't wanna go link crazy here, haha.

i thought he danced pretty well. :)
better than me anyway and that song is really good, is it worth checking that band out?

Yeah, they're pretty solid, and they're one of the most fun live bands you're wont to see. I'd put 'em up there with the Bomb! The Music Industry show I saw a few years back. Especially as far as shows you could see in a small to medium-sized music club. They're a blast.

Our Subatomic Earth, Bedroom sludge/post-metal, as good as any of the big names in the genre IMO.
