Royal Crown Review!

They were the band in the file "The Mask". Saw them at Reading Festival a few years back and they were superb.

I've yet to see any mention on ILM of...

The Honkies
Sir Menelik
Flatt & Scruggs
Bill Monroe

Still lodged in my brain from a brief period of intense interest in obscure synthpop:

- Data (80s group masterminded by George Kajanus)

- Cosmicity (recommended to OMD fans)
- Color Theory (recommended to fans of ... um ... fluffy kittens?)
- B!Machine
and a bunch of other, admittedly less consistent, new artists on the A Different Drum label or sold through its website (www.adifferentdrum.com)

On the EBM/Industrial side of things, Daniel Myers' various bands (Haujobb, Clean, ...); fans of glitchy, minimalist techno along the lines of Farben will find A LOT to like in Haujobb's ninetynine

Does that make ten?

I'm pretty sure that at some point I called the Honkies the best live band I've ever seen.

― Girolamo Savonarola, Tuesday, 28 January 2003 08:04 (twenty-one years ago) link

almost all nz music beyond FN, and Ive never seen that Aussie band "You am I" mentioned amongat many but thats the "biggest" band I could think of. Singer songwriter types dont seem to be mentioned but I dont read here much so maybe they do...Sean Penn, Blue Mountain, Fiona Apple,Ed Harcourt, Lucinda Williams,Chris Issak, Elliot Smith, Josh Rouse,Micheal Petak, Tom Mc Rae, Victoria Williams,Kathryn Williams,Ron Sexsmith, T Bone Burnett ..

― Kiwi, Tuesday, 28 January 2003 09:43 (twenty-one years ago) link

I haven't used the search so I could be wrong about the following, but picking up on Martine's constraint game, how about the following big big stars:
Slim Smith/ Uniques
the Tennors
Prince Far-I
Johnny Clarke
The Melodians
Freddie McGregor
Toyan
Wailing Souls
Jacob Miller / Inner Circle
Jah Stitch
Clint Eastwood & General Saint

― Tim (Tim), Tuesday, 28 January 2003 10:10 (twenty-one years ago) link

i'm pretty sure Elliot Smith has got some decent coverage here, but I have to agree that the rest of Kiwi's list shows some significant oversights..

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Tuesday, 28 January 2003 10:29 (twenty-one years ago) link
