TMA_1 Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Sometimes it is hard to find really amazing music. Many times it requires digging into some really obscure things in order to find the music that really blows you away. I want to find great music from all genres and I am asking for help from all of you guys.what are some obscure music groups that you guys listen to? It doesnt matter what genre it is from, or what time it is from, just hit me with some groups. Thanks guys. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poopshotgun Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Define obscure. Not mainstream?

Jack Leaf Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 The Dresden Dolls.They are probably the strangest goth band I've ever heard. All their songs are played with piano and drums, and sometimes the singer's (a woman) voice is "electrified." Their lyrics are quite pessimistic and even angsty, but somehow they can bring something new even into wrist-slashing.Another band worth a try is Sotahuuto. They're a trash metal band... a Christian trash metal band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 The DudeFrom France, don't think they released an album since 2003, although I think they got some new songs/new album coming out and are with a new record label.Myspace account which they recently started and is updated. I thought the band was dead before seeing that. Not much on them on the internet.You can listen to some of the music at their website.I got a bunch of good songs from a podcast from Zoe Radio who is 15 years old :P. Noticed the radio show on boingboing.net, and it caught my eye as they mentioned the playlist had The New Pornographers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poopshotgun Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Proof that living on the other side of the world changes your idea of mainstream :) Either that or I'm way behind the times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acriku Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 I don't hear much of LTJ Bukem in the main stream, but if you're not afloat then it's hard to tell ;-)Check out LTJ Bukem - Producer 01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 I don't have much time for current obscure music, but I do like some older groups that a lot of people seem to have forgotten. That would count as obscure I suppose, even though in their day they could have been very popular (I haven't actually checked).UltravoxThe StranglersHmm. Only two. Well, I don't have my CD collection with me and my brain keeps muttering 'Dire Straits' for no good reason. Can't remember any others...
