A word of warning first, the description of their music on the myspace page the link takes you to is definitely NSFW...
With that said, when I was back home for Harley-Davidson's 105th anniversary I met up with a classic Buell riding buddy and we hit my favorite (non-biker) bar in Milwaukee. Formerly known at The Sanctuary, now it's called Club Anything. Just look for the big ? and you've found it. Anyways, there was this AWESOME band called Trick Pretty performing at Club Anything. The description on their myspace page is spot on, and they sound even better live with the music being MUCH LOUDER. I keep hoping that they will release a CD, and that one of my friends back home will hook me up... Until then the only place I can find anything on them is their myspace page.
It may not be everyone's cup of tea but I totally dig it! 1313
I'm big on Blondie. And guess what, I'm drawn to bands that sound like them too...

Anyone got any New Legends? With the bassist from Tuatara? I've lost a compilation 2CD called "The Best of Cookin'". Best track on the set, and there are many. Great find, lemme know if you find mine.
The Golden Palominos The October Project Animal Logic Crowded House (My favorite pop band,saw them live in 1985 on their first tour. Hate that Paul Hester killed himself. Also saw the first show after he left the band. Dude was a great drummer and accompanist, sang great harmony, irreplaceable. (Sheryl Crow opened for them at 328 performance hall in Nashville- her drummer graciously, and intrepidly, played all night, their set too, and did Paul's job best he could.)
Level 42.
Cyrus Chestnut. Check out his remake of a Peanuts Christmas. My favorite holiday music.
