Introduce your favourite obscure band or artist

I had them on Spotify a while ago. Great memories. Saw them live a couple of times. Once in either Pontardawe or Penyrheol. Bezerk is a great shoutalong album.

They definitely played Penyrheol. I think I preferred the first album with Steevi Jaime, less slick than Beezerk. They’re still going.

Can’t imagine that’s pretty.

MAN is another band that I would struggle to see as obscure. Incidentally my Uncle Roger was in MAN although you may have known him by the name Deke.

My friend Ron Sanchez produced one of their late 70’s / early 80’s albums.

Dailew clearly wins the competition for the longest list of the most obscure artists.

I could go on and on but I’d bore the pants off you (I already do anyway).

This thread certainly has a strange notion of the word 'obscure'.

Man? Neu?

If you were alive in the 70s and had even the smallest interest in alternative music then you *would* have known both of these.

Man were considered the Patti Pavilion house band, they played there so many times.

If you like Man and Neu though then you might like

or maybe

If you mentioned Neu! to a lot of people they wouldn’t know them unless you are a music nerd. Certainly not mainstream either.

One of the most critically acclaimed bands ever and one I’m proud to have worked with and become friends with

Seen them a few times, used to support SFA on tours I think and played Glastonbury 2004 I think.
