Any interesting new music you've discovered lately?

[bif]

I've got a music blog and I'm always looking for good new music. Please post the name of a group you've discovered and a brief description. I'd really appreciate it.
BTW my blog is: http://marksmusicmemo.blogspot.com/

1. Here's a new band I just heard in Richmond that you might like

They describe themselves as being influenced by the Killers and Sonic Youth among others.

2. Cool. Thanks.

I'll check them out.

3. I've discovered tons.

But after looking at your page I'm not sure you'd like much of it, if any. Not that your taste is bad, just different. :)

Let's see if I can step out of my normal musical treats and find you some pleasant and/or interesting sounds...

I noticed the Bjork stuff you had, and if you like her check out Lamb.

That's all I got off the top of my head, unless you want to check out some black metal/punk/stoner/doom/crust type of stuff. :evilgrin:

4. I'm familiar with all the groups except Firewater.

And I like them all. Thanks.

5. You're welcome.

Always glad to spread some music around. And I'm surprised anyone else has heard of Transglobal Underground. They're a hidden gem.

10. Ditto on Lamb

That's some damn good stuff. Trans Fatty Acid is my personal favorite from them, but all their stuff is great. I need to play that disc again.

11. Have you ever heard Lambchop?

[derby378]

15. I'm afraid I haven't

Tell me more... :)

16. His studio albums are better.

But here's a live recording. It's pretty down-tempo stuff.

19. Lambchop is super cool.

A little odd if people aren't used to oddness, but always interesting.

[Jean Louise Finch]

21. Another +1 for Lamb

Their song "Gabriel" is just amazingly beautiful. My now husband introduced me to Lamb on their album "What Sound" and it's been my favorite ever since.

9. I love Senor Coconut

He really is a nut. Goofy and fun music. I'll look into the others. Thanks.

12. RH + was

featured about a week ago on Latino USA, in case you have a problem finding them.

13. We went to Puerto Rico over Easter

And I really got into salsa. Just discovered Andy Montenez and a couple of other groups.

[tigereye]

14. Esperanza Spaulding - great young jazz bassist and singer

lovely voice. Someone here told me about her.

[EastTennesseeDem]

17. I just had MTV-U on, and I saw this video

And I bought the album immediately afterward.

Stunning.

I should add that they're already split up.

[bif]

18. Excellent. Thanks.
