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:

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 GeirBot (Geir Hongro), Wednesday, 27 November 2019 12:26 (six years ago)

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.

one year passes...

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.

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.

Ashley Pomeroy, Thursday, 28 July 2022 19:23 (three years ago)

two years pass...

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

Mono - Life in Mono?

Appeared on the Great Expectations soundtrack.

One album (Formica Blues)

Hans Holbein (Chinchilla Volapük), Saturday, 28 September 2024 06:29 (one year ago)

Never mentioned on ILX until now: Cora Vaucaire, responsible for one of the best recordings of the old French song Aux Marches du Palais

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLHYhr8jgIU

Hans Holbein (Chinchilla Volapük), Saturday, 28 September 2024 06:33 (one year ago)

Also never mentioned: Le Poeme Harmonique, also responsible for one of the best recordings of the same song

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wri9_GRT_r4

Hans Holbein (Chinchilla Volapük), Saturday, 28 September 2024 06:46 (one year ago)

Assumed DJ Rainbow Ejaculation was made up, but no is real.

Dan Worsley, Saturday, 28 September 2024 08:00 (one year ago)

Two obscure UK bands from the 80s, never mentioned here before:

Birds With Ears
Shopping Trolley

Halfway there but for you, Saturday, 28 September 2024 14:39 (one year ago)

Eva Everything

Halfway there but for you, Saturday, 28 September 2024 17:24 (one year ago)

CP that Brigandage tune is very cool!

In a similar spirit, this is a band off a comp called Sounds From The Southern Scene. Theyre called Cursory Glances and their contact address is literally just up the street from where im sitting now. Would love to know more about them but they mightve moved since 1985...
