Most Obscure Band no ones heard of

[Buzzo]

Mr. Bungle, most... screwed up music I've ever heard

oops forgot mute math, they're aren't obscure but are relatively unheard of

False. I Really enjoy Mr. Bungle and so does about everyone I know.
They are surprisingly famous.

As for my input, uhh.
Bosch's with you.
Genetial Holograms.
Fight a Scary Dog.
Speak Daggers.
Brian!.
Swell Maps.
Chrome Hoof.
The shining.

[Erja_Perttu]

Amanda Palmer (one of the most incredible live acts I've ever seen)

The Dresden Dolls (Amanda Palmer being a former member of this band)

Prima Donna (the most fantabulous punky mix of a million old rock songs)

Sonata Arctica

Hooray! Someone else who knows them!

Strawhorse

Goddamn I miss those guys - saw them perform once, and only got hold of two of their .mp3 files. Can't find their album anywhere (Brillianteen).

Well, that sure is a coincidence. I just had a tuba quartet come to my school and play a Mr.Bungle song. No idea what it was called, but very very strange.
OT: I honestly have no answer. My friends tell me everything I listen to is unheard of. Probably the Dead Milkmen or Anamanaguchi.

 

[Master Kuja]

Tellison, anyone?

Quite an interesting little "indie" (God I hate that term) band from London.

 

[zen5887]

Pandema.

No one has heard of these guys because thats the band I am in. See how silly this thread is?

 

[whycantibelinus]

The Sess.

A local San Diego, CA, USA band that has since broken up. They fused modern indie rock with late sixties rock and roll and it was freaking awesome stuff. If you feel so inclinded to look them up on Myspace then I would highly encourage you to do so.

 

[Simriel]

Escape Key.

 

[Snork Maiden]

I always struggle to find other Art Brut fans. This might be because they aren't very good, but I do have a soft spot for them (especially live).

 

[mezmerizer02]

Lucky Boys Confusion.

They aren't totally obscure but I've NEVER met anyone who knows this band.

I live near chicago, I know them, and when the plain white t's when by their other name, they something something pennyloafers or some jazz like that. or maybe it was lbc who went by that... anyway, yeah I've heard of them. i dig them

don't forget about maps and atlases

*edit: damnit, just saw on the second page someone typeds maps and atlases. oh well. n ot so obscure i guess.

 

[Buzzo]

I can't believe I never posted on this before.

OK, the most well known band on my piePod is Big Black, and who here has heard of them? No? I thought not, says a lot about my music taste.

If you haven't heard them before, heres a vid, they're very good.


I'm not even going to bother with the most obscure stuff, there is no chance anyone is going to get it.

Songs about fucking is better.

Also, forgot World Inferno Friendship Society
Diablo swing orchestra (def. not unheard of but great!)
The Locst (not unheard of but awesome)
Mahavishnu Orchestra
Melt (popular, but weird)
Naked City (VERY ODD)
OceLoT
Praxis (not unheard of)
PsyOpus
Rip, Ripg & Panic
Steel Pole Bathub
Psyclon Nine (idk how well known they are)
Solomon Jabby
Sparta
The Strange Boys
Delorean
Tera melos
Kayo Dot
Terry Scott Taylor
Throbbng gristle
Tweak Bird
Black Tusk (just plain awesome)
Unpersons
Unsane
Unexpect
Bassnectar

 

[secretshadow90]

Well... I know very few people who have heard of these
-Iced Earth (it's fairly common now, but a few years ago I was the only one in my group who'd heard of them)
-Sonata Arctica
-Blind Guardian
-The Black Mages ( I am such a nerd)

That's about it. Not nearly as obscure as some of the previous posts.

 

[w-Jinksy]

i was bequething my love of wolf parade and sabre pulse to my freinds only to learn they had never ever heard of them, not even once.

 

[Caligulove]

Hyland.
theyre not that good, though.

though im sure someone would like them simply because theyre obscure

 

[Thisbedutch]

Amanda Palmer (one of the most incredible live acts I've ever seen)

The Dresden Dolls (Amanda Palmer being a former member of this band)

The Dolls and Amanda Palmer are two of my favourite acts ^ - ^

(And sorry if I'm mistaken, but I was under the impression she's still a member of The Dresden Dolls, they're merely on hiatus?)

I don't have that many obscure bands in my collection, which makes me feel a bit dirty...erm...Tegan & Sara? None of my friends know who they are, so they're kind of obscure for where I live.

 

[Arkhangelsk]

I give a cookie to anyone who's heard of Red Square Black.
