JIBE if you can find any cds with Joe Grah at his hottest.

Greg Gardner and the Voo Doo Cowboys, I just love the shister out of them. The first song on the album is called, "I Gotta Get Outta Here"..and just love to here it. Some days its my theme song..ha
I met them through one of my friends, pretty cool bunch of folks.

And this band........ummm. Roger is the brother of one of my good friends. We have wore out his Cd pitching horseshoes.....lol. Good Music, kinda makes me think of Pat Green.

I went through a phase where I liked a little known band called the Afghan Wigs (or Whigs, can't remember).

Now I don't know. I seem to have been on a long music fast as I am not as into hearing new music and checking out odd bands as I used to be.

Oh, but I will always love a very little known band by the name of Hoover's G-String.

I love:
1) Anouk (A Dutch band, absolutely amazing, raw emotional music...ooh, dive in and listen to it, you'll love it)
2) K's choice (They did a song called Addict which is an excellent gritty song)

My best lil band would be Hellklug. It a small gothic-metal band that usually plays at local clubs

- Juno
- Candy Butchers

Does the Dismemberment Plan count as a little known band? If so, yeah, them. And if they count, then I guess June of 44 counts, too, so add them on.

Ummmm well before they disbanded Heckler. They were utterly amazing - i grew up with the lead singer - and had been signed by EMI. Unfortunately Hayley (the singer) and Adam (her brother who played guitar) split the band in half so now there're two not-so-good bands - but still good!!

Ummm none of my friends have ever heard of Blessed Union of Souls, who i love... but i only know them cos my sister's flatmates r two American girls from Loyola so they may well be very well known across the pond!

Also Little Egypt - who were supporting Status Quo at the first proper live concert i ever went to.

I think pretty much all of the bands I like are little known. That either makes me a freak or really cool.
The Wrens
Les Savvy Fav
The Rosebuds
My Dad is Dead
The Arcade Fire...

The Big Pill. They play 'aggresive lounge' as they call it. Everybody kicks ass in that band.

They were the highlight of my 2003 warped tour and they singlehandedly saved 2004's edition.

hehe, NONE of those are little known!

I'm loving the Arcade Fire. And Tom Vek, this new guy from London, is very cool. Also Clor are sounding good.

I like a ska band Streetlight Manifesto
I saw them in concert sunday, they were (for lack of a better word) very good.

Ah yes, I also like Streelight Manifesto.

hmm
ok well Afghan Whigs and Green Day are NOT little known bands! if you really like those bands, then give them some credit for making it across america, europe and who knows what other continents their fame has reached!
my all time favourite little known band is Puressence. the whole world ought to be talking about them, but, alas, they haven't conquered the music scene yet.

Porcupine Tree, Perpetual Groove, Government Mule, Welbilt(only cause the guitarist went to my school), Martin Sexton

Mindless Self Indulgence (slowly growing very popular)
Wakefeild
DJ Shadow
Triple Red
Black Tape for a Blue Girl

Man..I remember first hearing All American Rejects on a local radio station. They had won the OKC Battle of the Bands. I remember thinking to myself, "wow! these guys are good!" Now look at 'em! My best friend was really close to a few of the members.

The Fabulas Thunderbirds
