94. earl brutus

don't recall them having a drummer ?

and no point in asking them as they were always beyond the state of recollection.

Very few bands that can resist the temptation to throw in more electronics than just the drum machine.

Bis had keyboards too

53. Hot Chip

have they ever recorded anything in this formation?

oochie wally (clean version) (sic), Sunday, 15 March 2015 11:53 (nine years ago) link

I thought that there was an era of Prong where this was the case, but wikipedia has proven me wrong.

Am I mixing up Hot Chip with another dance/rock act? xp

StanM, Sunday, 15 March 2015 12:54 (nine years ago) link

Sisters of Mercy should be #1 tbrr

example (crüt), Sunday, 15 March 2015 15:42 (nine years ago) link

Tho I think a lot of the basslines on their records were played by sequencers? At least on Floodland.

example (crüt), Sunday, 15 March 2015 15:44 (nine years ago) link

i agree they should ..

mark e, Sunday, 15 March 2015 15:55 (nine years ago) link

only a half entry because local bands who "released" 4 songs on a CD-R probably don't count, but,

43.5 RIP my once-favourite local band Elapse-O

I don't know, are you? You've named a band that used to tour with five keyboard players and no other members, and have three live drummers in their current line-ups, though. (Only two at a time; one is for US visa reasons.)
