Where's the Rock 'n Roll?

[newnostalgia]

I'm looking for the rock 'n roll bands that i living in europe havent discovered yet and are playing coachella, anything Folk/Blues/Rock will do. Real folk though..mumford and sons does not count.

For instance so far: I like Black Joe lewis, Felice Brothers, Flogging Molly, Tame Impala and The Black Keys.

thanks.



i figured we can use this thread as a go to place... for fellow rock/folk/blues/country ppl to get their fix.

thanks for the tip, i like the guitarist, dunno bout the rest of the band. i dont really like the vocalist's style, a bit too poppy for me.

Ok bud, here is the scoop: bright eyes

[BayAreaIsBetter]

Also, Check out tallest man on earth

[newnostalgia]

I liked that Bright eyes, sounded very sincere, very depressing though.

Tallest man I've been told to like time and time again, it's just i feel its a very unimaginative take on bob dylan's sound. Not saying the guy doesn't have a good voice, just nothing too original. if you have a video to prove me wrong i'd be glad too see it.

KINGS OF LEONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

[newnostalgia]

yea, The Kills are pretty damn good, love her voice. most definitely will check them out after seeing the Dead Weather last year. that set was epic.

[Mr. Fuzz]

[newnostalgia]

well that was easy, of course they're good, just not really exciting.

[Mr. Fuzz]

Dude, they are the most exciting band on the line-up. Don't be a fool and miss their set. I'm sure they'll be on the mainstage, afterdark, and it will be fucking loud and amazing.

[newnostalgia]

i guess i just haven't listened to them for too long. i've gotta admit my nr 1 excitement goes out to flogging molly.

[newnostalgia]

If I end up going I'll definitely watch the strokes though.

I think I liked The Strokes more when they were called Jet.

No I hear you. I'm just learning about them now.

[liquidsnake28]

Sadly, I think MarkO was serious.

[MarkO]

They sound alike.

[liquidsnake28]

You said, I liked it better when they were Jet. Well the Strokes were around before Jet.

Also, Jet is AC/DC-lite nascar buttrock,the Stokres aren't at all and I know it was a decade ago but Is This It? was an awesome album. Jet has never done anything that could almost maybe be seen as awesome in any way.

[MarkO]

My attempt at humour -->

Your head --->

[BayAreaIsBetter]

Jet sounds like the strokes.

[newnostalgia]

I checked out the henry clay people, and must say i like them...

the beginning reminds me lightly of a primus song for some reason.

[newnostalgia]

i checked out the morning benders. Can't get into the leadsingers voice at all. he's just a little too gay for my liking. no offense. though folkie, too smooth and clean.

If you always listen to rock, then maybe be glad that this fest dosn't have that much of it.

Expand, learn new bands. Some you might love, some you might hate. But you'll leave with new knowledge.

I never would have heard of PJ Harvey or Caifanes before, and now I'm really digging them. Same with the Kills (although I vaguely knew from Dead Weather).

[newnostalgia]

Has anyone ever heard of the cave singers? eventhough they ain't playing i feel obligated to introduce you to this band if you haven't heard of them already.


this is how i like my folk. dirty and gritty
