ITT you post the most obscure band you can think of and see if anyone recognizes it.

[Aesir23]

Armchair Cynics. Not too obscure but the most obscure band that I know of

 

[That_Which_Isnt]

Oh, you want obscure? If you've even heard of this band, you gain a cookie.

Tengwar.


Going to see them live in October.

They're on youtube =/= obscure

 

[Asciotes]

Maximum the Hormone. Epic band.

 

[Clashero]

I'm afraid you're underestimating the capabilities of YouTube. The formula is more like They're on YouTube = They exist

Hell, I'm on youtube playing the guitar, and I'm hardly well known.

Here's another one, to satisfy your awfully narrow definition of obscure: Jabalí María.

As far as I know they're not on youtube, so they're, by your logic, obscure. Unless being on the Internet equals not being obscure, that is.

 

[psychowatcher]

The Jolly Rogers

-gives you digital cookies- You, internet person, have made me a happy wannabe pirate.

To stay with the topic, I add The Corsairs and Great Big Sea (not sure about the second one, but I don't know anyone who has heard of The Corsairs)

Shiver me timbers, laddie--*cough* you know the Jolly Rogers?

Yep. Deadmentellnotales.com used to carry their CDs.

Well, I'll be buggered. Do they not carry them anymore?

Sadly, they don't. They have The Pyrates Royale, The Corsairs, Skip Henderson, and The Bilge Pumps. However, they do sell some things I've never heard of anywhere else, like Jolly Roger Barbecue Sauce...
