Instead of nostalgia thought i'd make my 69.69 radio debut by offering an eccectic selection of lesser known gems
Don't think I've mentioned anywhere on ECF that I was actually a full time DJ by trade for 20 years.
These guys sell out arenas in the UK but are still practically unknown stateside:
Current band that evokes the dreampop/alternative 4AD sound of the 80's. Think Cocteau Twins with sharper teeth.
Solo Dub/Blues project from the Producer of U2's Joshua Tree (as well as Peter Gabriel, Neil Young, and Bob Dylan to name a few others)
If you didn't know Buddy Guy as one of Jimi Hendrix's greatest influences, listen to this Chicago Blues pioneer and you'll recognize the connection instantly. Jimi and Buddy actually recorded together not long before the guitar rock god's early demise.
Never heard of "Toytronica"? Well now you have. And yes, much of what you are hearing really was created with children's toy instruments.
