Weekly new discoveries/ check this out

In an effort to keep all these two post threads (scraps?) in higher prominence, I announce the new discoveries thread.
THis is for that newer band you don't see posted here, but should be.
NO BAND BASHING. Take that to a new thread please, as this will be a continuing multi band thread.
Try to keep your personal poste to one per week (with a new one)
We should be busy catching live music, right?

 

My first suggestion is a moderately-known band:
New Monsoon. www.newmonsoon.com
also a Tribe
Jammy rock with tabla and a banjo. Good, rooted rock sensibilities with a willingness to stretch out and explore. The drums and percussion are tight.
Check Etree and archive.org for live.
Look for a newer song "For Marie" (that's what it was the night I heard it on breakout at Cervantes', possibly renamed?)

 

www.kannal.org
tribal trance with sexy, powerful women spinning fire. these guys captured Burning Man a couple years ago and started a lot of chatter on the west coast.
I was at the Colorado ren faire yesterday and had people (old companeros) ask about them. Seems the Northwest loves 'em too.
bonus: the bus is veggie D (dual tank)

 

I hear great things about them.^^
they are on my go see list

 

oldies but goodies: Flying Other Brothers
Supporting Melvin and JGB right now.
Barry Sless and Pete Sears and several other talented folks.
Def worth checking out.

 

Love Scene Clear

and to hear

for Mid july:
Dub Conscious. They just did dreamtime and the Fox Boulder.
Athens folk.
strong, positive stuff for a weak negative world.
Keep your ears open. these reggae-based boys (one Woman) will be heard from!

as someone who got burned out on pseudo reggae, they were a breath of fresh air, new things to say and polyrhythms in the music.

 

Links???

hey, sad news. Josh Lewandowski of Love Scene Clear died from a car wreck a month a go. His brother Christian is recovering, slowly, physically, I don't know about emotionally. He was very close with Josh. THe band is obviously at least on hiatus, if not over.

 

LOL, I guess I don't consider Kimock "new" but yeah, check out my brother Steve and whatever cast he's with now (Zero-ish for festies for summer-fall)

Check out the art on the cover of Live in Colorado CD and the DVD. That's our studio.

 

Banyan
took me a bit to "get" Willy, (SoCal energy is overwhelming to a mountain girl).
Waldman is an amazing presence and not half bad on a horn.
Played with Snoop Dogg and Tupac and came out of the punk scene. That's intense!

and wisdom fairly rocks, too (the live painter)
