Eyes on Obscure Bands and Musical Artists (and missing birth certificate) Week Eight:

[Rye]

Sorry for the delay, broskis, I started up a few other events so I'm a little taxed!

Okay, three new bands? Got it!

This is probably the most unique band I know. They've disbanded in the past few years, but they were awesome when they were still together.

Do Me Bad Things

A nine-person London-based band that combines glam rock, blues and jazz. They're not really known much outside of the UK.

Time for Deliverance
What's Hideous?
The Song Rides

They have such a fun presence, especially on camera, I'm sure they were amazing live. I hope they reform.

sorry it's not indie and all that i am not one of those cool kiddies. I hope that someday I can make up for this heinous crime.

Anyway yeah have some random jazz music imho. Soil and "Pimp" sessions is the band, and they are quite genius imho.

A.I.E - I would recommend starting with this track, pretty much sums up the band quite nicely.

The world is filled by... - starts off pretty ghetto but quickly gets quite epic.

We Want More!!!!!! - this is probably my favourite song by them, can't help but dance like a tit when it comes on.

Summer Goddess - Quite like this one too!

Zambezi - Had to include this one 'cause the piano player goes off on one in the middle and it's quite awesome.

i-rony - and the entire band goes off on one in this track. this is one of their more insane moments, I love it but it might not be for all. Best to throw it out there I thought!

And there you have it. I hope at least someone out there gets some enjoyment from it.

VNV Nation

Okay, they're not the single most obscure band in the world, but I don't expect most to have heard of them. They're trance/electro/industrial from Britain and I quite like them. They do some good stuff, some of it is surprisingly moving.

Beloved is absolutely gorgeous in my opinion. I can't listen to it enough.
Airships is similarly fantastic and very chill.
