I just thought i'd share a couple of musical gems from lancaster with you all

Jasper
this band were really good (unfortunately they split up when they left uni, boohoo). If you like upbeat folk-rocky kinda stuff, check them out. They also happen to be some of the nicest people I have ever met.

Superkings
these guys are ace. They kinda sound like an interesting combination of Nick Cave and Pulp.

Anyone want to let some local talent out in the world? Mention them here! Mine are a few West Aust bands:

-Eskimo Joe
-Little Birdy
-End Of Fashion
-Snowman
-The Sleepy Jackson

And these are the best!!

I've got the Sleepy Jackson first uk album. I liked it a lot.

Yay! Someone from Perth is liked across the world! Like Wolfmother?

Never heard of them

EDIT: I don't like the name if that's any help

Ah, they aren't what you think. Bah-humbug.

Check out xenakis, they were a really good all instrumental band we played with a couple of times. They come from huddersfield and they are pretty cool guys.

Anyone interested in local bands might be interested in this thread on the subject...

For you punks I run a DIY record label nd band promoting thingy:

shameless self promotion gives me cold shivers down my spine!

Actually two other punk bands we played with were alright actually, U.Y.A and Negative Opinions.
