There are an awful lot of bands listed here that are still going, so they're not history yet!!

What does the question really mean? "History has
erased them?" Are you all just naming bands you
don't like? Cause we all have our cherished bands
that no one else knows about.

― squirl plise, Wednesday, 7 May 2003 00:45 (twenty-one years ago) link

it means 'who do you think might as well have never existed given the current musical climate seems to negate whatever influence (if any) they may have had at the time they were around'

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 01:24 (twenty-one years ago) link

I liked all the bands I named. Except Shakatak. Not sure I like Shakatak.

scattered order

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 02:17 (twenty-one years ago) link

They were a sort of underground, arty/weird New Order from Down Under, international folks. Then there was Boxcar, who were sort of an overground New Order from Down Under.

The Hummingbirds.

Graham Coxon.

― CharlieNo4 (Charlie), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 02:33 (twenty-one years ago) link

otm about the h'birds.

Boxcar had two really fantastic singles (fantastic mainly because they were shameless New Order facsimiles) and it was all a bit downhill from there.

the Australian label Volition seems to have been wiped from history in almost its entirety.

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 02:48 (twenty-one years ago) link

Yup, just you, me and Jim. Severed Heads were on that label too.

Does anyone remember Calla? They were a revelation at the time, haven't heard anything from them for a while.

― it's the distortion, stupid! (alex in mainhattan), Thursday, 1 September 2016 18:59 (seven years ago) link

the 3rd martha and the muffins album ('this is the ice age') is worth a listen
This is an understatement.

Good lord, yes. One of my all-time fave art rock records. I'm sure they're doing quite well with Echo Beach residuals but this is the work that should've defined Martha/Muffins/M+M.

i absoutely love the 'televise' album ..
they really were on the verge of crossing over for a short time, but things fell apart both re band and record label.
seem to recall they tried to get things going again a few years ago (myspace era !), but their time was over.
such a shame.
