My aunt’s husband was in this band in the 60s. The Fabulous Flippers.

The Harlem Shuffle

The greatest show band in the land. Saw them many, many times.

They were great. Their version of Harlem Shuffle is my favorite.

Arc Angels

a couple months ago Kevn Kinney hosted a benefit concert at the Fox with Drive By Truckers as headliners and “special guests” announced. Turns out the special guests were 3/4 of REM with Kevn on vocals. It was awesome.

Nice. I saw them about 7-8 years ago and they filled The Tabernacle, then 3-4 years ago for a free concert at one of the parks here. Great show, great crowd with a lot of love for them.

I don't listen to new music as a rule, I listen to 60s and some 70s music primarily. To me Drivin N Cryin and Tom Petty are the "newer" stuff I listen to.

However, because they play a lot of stuff I love on Sirius' Underground Garage, I'll occasionally pick up some of the newer bands I dig off that.

I really enjoy The Dollyrots.

 

[Titus Andronicus]

Doug Clark and the Hot Nuts

Well, roley Poly, tickle my holey, up my slimy slough!

I remember those guys! They were politically incorrect back when that was (sort of) ok

The drummer from Phosphorescent was a good childhood friend of mine. We grew up on the same street.

Great list. As a Deer Tick fan, what are your thoughts on Diamond Rugs?

Good friend used to be the sound engineer for Deer Tick. Great band.

I'll submit Greensky Bluegrass but they are getting a lot of attention these days. Billy Strings is pretty amazing as well.

Hot nuts, hot nuts, get them by the bag.

I actually played with Kevn and Tim in a live radio show in 1993 promoting a concert they were playing later that night. They were cool as hell.

One of my favorite albums to this day is Hometowns by the Rural Alberta Advantage. Probably not everyone's cup of tea but imo it's a criminally underrated album. After that though everything else they made is kind of meh..

They came up on my Spotify "Made for You" list yesterday. Not bad.
