L.A. based

Stealer = early 80's metal, Singer Ron Keel went on to be a CW singer.

Black & Blue = early 80's metal , would sell-out 300-500-1500 seats when ever they played. Singer Jamie St. James co-wrote a bunch of Kiss songs w/ P. Stanley. Guitar player is the current "Ace Frehley" named Tommy Thayer

The best of the bunch , in L.A. that never made it out, is a Band called London , they where huge in the early Glam scene. Nicky Sixx's first band, amongest many many more of those dude's who started out in London and went onto other bands. I think London is actually still together in whatever form, playing "retro Glam" nights around town.

Blue Rodeo and The Tragically Hip are both great Canadian Bands who are very popular north of the border.

Download some of their tunes and you will be very pleased.

Try these:

The Tragically Hip
-New Orleans is sinking (from the 80`s Ironic eh)
-Music at work
-Blow at high dough
-Bobcaygeon

Blue Rodeo:
- Try
- Hasn`t hit me yet
- 5 days in May

slayer69 · 04-08-2009, 07:39 AM

One of the Best!

HorseShit · 04-08-2009, 07:43 AM

it's a huge surprise these people didn't make it big

~Ray · 04-08-2009, 08:08 AM

I couldn't find a full clip of the group Tablet , but they got screwed by their record company and never made it big.

I could only find a sampler of their album "Pinned"

1st 2 songs are great..

So funny you mention them - I was just reminiscing about them the other day and listened to a few songs.

Bliz · 04-08-2009, 01:04 PM

Saw this thread and had to post one of my favorite local Baltimore bands... Dog Fashion Disco. They had their last show a few years ago and dissolved for all the reasons bands normally do. Lack of large commercial success was on of them. They had a metal, jazz, hardcore fusion sound with lead singer Todd Smith laying down some uniquely diverse vocal talent. Offen compaired to Mike Patton. Check them out and their new band if you like hardcore with a melodic and sometimes sadistic flair...

The lead singer and guitarist of DFF went on to start a new band called Polkadot Cadaver...

http://www.myspace.com/polkadotcadaver

I just picked up their CD Polkadot Cadaver - Purgarory Dance Party. If you want to hear a hardcore indie album unlike anything you've ever heard pick up a copy. Badass!

GrouchyAdmin · 04-08-2009, 01:08 PM

They used to be local. The Gone Jackals.

Just in our neck of the woods. Head east towards Syracuse and you're likely to find people who've never heard of them.
