Is ILM ready for a noisecore thread?

Scatterbrain
24-7 Spyz

Good lord. I'd start a much-needed thread about wacky funk-metalists if I'd listened to any of these in the last 15 years.

159. Bjørn Eidsvåg
160. Finn Kalvik
161. Lillebjørn Nilsen
162. Lars Klevstrand
163. Inger Lise Rypdal
164. Gro Anita Schønn
165. Anita Skorgan

Bambi Slam
Balaam and the Angel
Calamity Jane
Wonky Alice

I think I could go on all night like some terrible Melody Maker Tourette Syndrome thing... Fun though!

Tone Def Crew

Space Explosion
Fred Hersch
Mode Plagal
Red Stick Ramblers
Monica Salmaso
NUJABES
Minotaur Shock
Banda Ionica
Connee Boswell
Kila
David Binney
Thanasis Papakonstantinou

183. Vladimir Cosma
184. Barry Gray
185. max melvin

186. Gogobot

187. The Young Sinclairs

188. GTR
189. Map of Wyoming

190. Goldie Hill

191. Matt McGinn
192. Sickboy
193. DJ Rainbow Ejaculation

Somebody remembers Fionnuisce!

Colbie Caillat

195. Teflon Fonfara
196. Frank Blandino (Fathoms, Cranktones, Spurs)
197. countless electrolounge/chill/nujazz acts like (Jens Buchert, Thomas Siffling, Brenda Boykin, Fresh Moods etc.pp)

198. The Keef Hartley Band
199. The Firesign Theater

200. The Ziggens

201. Karl Ditters von Dittersdorf

I don't get whether people are trying to post relatively unknown stuff or more well known bands that don't get mentioned. Because there has to be thousands of relatively unknown bands that haven't been mentioned like a bunch of localized stuff that never caught it's stride even if they were good

A post up thread suggested "Connee Boswell," but a thread search fortunately reveals this not to be the case. And of course, a search for the Boswell Sisters reveals even more results, including the probably correct claim that the Boswell Sisters invented rock and roll.

202. King Swamp

203. Cavedogs

204. The Ass Ponies

205. Poopshovel

*note: those are bands I remember solely from pre-grunge 120 Minutes. I honestly don't think they existed anywhere else.

Hence my point that you could just dig up VA compilation and post bands you find on there
I'll test my theory by going through one VA on my computer

Thank You Friends: The Ardent Records Story CD 1
206. The Wallabies
207. The Ole Miss Downbeats
208. Icewater (not to be confused with Icewater Scandal or DJ Icewater)
209. The Honey Jug
210. The Goatdancers
211. The Badgers
212. The 1st Century

Now this thread would be more interesting if you searched for a band like moe. and it was unsearchable (and believe me I would like to discover that there is a band as popular as .moe that hasn't been mentioned yet on ILM)

I just spent 10 minutes searching more popular jam bands and unfortunately they were all searchable
However, I'll add one more band even though it was never popular

213. Mori Stylez (fusion - a distinct adventurous sound, notable use of bassoon/mandolin/clarinet and no piano/keyboards) Seek the album 'Rules For Rotation'. "If you like Henry Threadgill and other Knitting Factory–type jazz, Mori Stylez should be right up your alley"

BTW that Ardent Records compilation sounds really good! I don't think I ever listened to it

The Very Idea of Fucking Hitler

Um... #213 above ^^

214. Chucklehead

215. Tikkanen (went to elementary & high school with 3/4 of them.)

Crazy Cavan and the Rhythm Rockers. Thought with all the Britishes on this board they might have been mentioned in passing, even if derisively. Interesting to me that during the same 70s time-period in America, Sha Na Na were pretty much making a mockery of 50s pop, while these guys were seriously trying to keep alive/update the Sun Records sound. I've been loving this comp recently:

amazingly, this turned out not to be true

Pure Prarie League

214. Chucklehead

In fact, the last time that the word chucklehead was even uttered on ILM. Just discovered that they had a music video.The 90s were certainly an interesting time for funk!

215. Bjørn Eidsvåg

(Actually, like, the bestselling act in Norway for the past 25 years or so, but still pretty sure this will remain his only mention here)

The band name makes them a pain in the hole to search, but Talons' don't seem to get a mention on here. If you're up for some creaking, odd folk music, somewhere between Scott Tuma's haunted back porch and a still-bearable Kozelek, this might be the thing. I can recommend Rustic Bullshit and Song for Boats (both on Spotify) or the After Talons' collection on Bandcamp (pay yer own price). It's all good.

seems like the freewheelers have had not a single mention on ilm.
until now.
picked up the cd years ago, but only added it to the digital archive a couple of days, so decided to check.
not so sure i have ever listened to it, which kind of answers the question i guess.

Katie The Pest

Peatbog Faeries

I'll make an acid ceilidh thread one day yoooou'll see

A bit of Googling suggests that Ilxor has never had anything to say about The Pale, who did "Butterfly". The Pale Saints yes; The Pale no.

Which is odd because they aren't that obscure. I've heard of them and I'm normal. Perhaps they're too obvious for Ilxor. Not obscure enough. But what is there to say about them?

And there was that other band. I can't remember them. They were... 1990s. Lady singer. One album. Trip-hop? One popular single in a movie soundtrack. What was the film? Virtuosity? No, no it wasn't. Dammit. Yesterday I managed to remember the 1986 interactive novel Portal, today I can't remember this one simple thing.

not mentioned on ilx:

Clinic Q - a Danish new wave band I downloaded based on an extremely negative review of them supporting some punk band in the early 80s, as I suspected I really liked it

Brigandage - anarcho-goths, just bought a compilation LP that was unfortunately totally trashed and skips in places, but not on their song which is the reason I bought the LP in the first place https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTB_al7oKw8

And there was that other band. I can't remember them. They were... 1990s. Lady singer. One album. Trip-hop? One popular single in a movie soundtrack.

Mono - Life in Mono?

Appeared on the Great Expectations soundtrack.

One album (Formica Blues)
