Those are mostly bands from outside of newportOriginally Posted by life on mars
I used to go to tjs all the time , saw some great bands there , sick of it all , stuck mojo
Would love to have seen big black , love albinis work , shellac were a great band
One of my favourite bands ever.
Ted McKenna on drums , later joined micheal schenker group
He was a great drummer , schenker was a great guitarist but msg were crap
Zal Cleminson was a great front man good guitarist.
Were they a scottish band ?
pedantic I know but the twang are not from Manchester.
Nor are the inspiral carpets , they are an oldham band
Are they from Barry?
And Verve are from Wigan.
Young Marble Giants
Budgie
The Oppressed
Super Furry Animals and Catatonia formed in Cardiff?
Under The Driftwood Tree
Tigertailz
Future Of The Left
Seconded by San Francisco. Some the 60s bands that came from there are mind blowing: Big Brother and the Holding Company, Blue Cheer, The Charlatans (the original band, not the indie band from the 90s), Flamin' Groovies, The Great Society, Hot Tuna, t's A Beautiful Day, Jefferson Airplane/Starship, Moby Grape, New Riders of the Purple Sage, Santana, Sly and the Family Stone, Sons of Champlin, Steve Miller Band, Quicksilver Messenger Service, and my least favourite of this phenomenal bunch being The Grateful Dead
Grace Slick was beautiful
Most of these bands were totally off their heads on drugs
As bill hicks said the best music ? All made when high
I can see how Oldham and Wigan may get put under a 'Manchester' umbrella. The Twang are from Birmingham!!
Hold on a second, the Manics are many things but they certainly aren't uninteresting!
Not sure, any mention I've seen of where they're from is Cardiff
Nobody has even mentioned Detroit being probably the most important city when it comes to techno and house music.
Underground Resistance
Jeff Mills
Juan Atkins
Kevin Saunderson
Octave One
Omar S
Moodymann
Theo Parrish
Carl Craig
And loads loads more...
Liverpool/Merseyside - The Beatles, Echo and the Bunnymen, Gerry and the Pacemakers, Cilla Black, The Coral, The La's, Circa Waves, The Wombats, The Boo Radleys, OMD, Half Man Half Biscuit
If you want an underwhelming music scene then look no further than Nottingham, Bruce Dickinson and someone from Depeche Mode are from Notts and that's pretty much it
I posted it as it said music cities , thinking that Newport was a great music city and opromoted so many first time visits to our shores for bands like Big Black to showcase themselves , didn't realise it was bands from cities oops.
Cardiff never really embraced that scene or opportunity. Cheap Sweaty Fun and TJ?'s did
Big man city fans, used to have young guvnors etched into their vinyl.
Actually from Ashton, not Oldham
They are, my train of thought had stalled at the station on that one
Always been good for gigs though. Some decent smaller venues.
Jesus, Stoke are 3-0 up already!
Oops. Wrong thread.
