yeah.. this is shameless self promotion - I'm the drummer
Our new album The Sound of Black and White is available on iTunes, amazon and most other major online music retailers

checked a couple youtube videos and they were pretty interesting. any cd to recommend getting first?

i'd recommend their newest cd "the resistance", by far my most favorite, "absolution" and "black holes and revelations" are also some of their best work.

I was into the hippy/jam scene (Moe, Phish, String Cheese Incident, Yonder Mountain String Band) for about 13 years and have recently gone back to alternative rock. I've been digging Spoon, Yeasayer, Hot Chip, MGMT, and Vampire Weekend lately. Also the new Gorillaz album Plastic Beach is damn good as well.

Oh, two thumbs up on Old Crow Medicine Show...they ROCK live, too.

I've been really into The Gourds of late and I've been pretty addicted. I'm also pretty into Scythian right now...weird mix of Celtic and Klezmer and one of the best fiddlers I've ever heard. Their live album is the best.

I need to find some new music. Radio in buffalo generally sucks and plays classic rock that is old in the tooth, top 40 which usually sounds like a bunch of crap to me, and some hard guitar based rock that is a little too loud/aggressive (even though I still like Nine Inch Nails from time to time...) for this middle aged guy.

Likes over the last few years: Grace Potter and Nocturnals, M.O.E., David Byrne/Brian Eno, Derek Trucks, Soulive, Kathleen Edwards, Neil Young (old and new). (so from Jazz to Jam Band, with some older guys that still put out good stuff)

Go see on when in the area: U2, Tragically Hip, Blue Rodeo, 54-40, Springsteen, Hope to catch War again this summer, Pearl Jam, Grace Potter, Derek Trucks, Roger Waters.

So, what new bands might I be interested in?

Maybe try:

James McMurtry - He is a great singer/songwriter. His Dad wrote the novel Lonesome Dove.

Wilco - AM is their best album, I think

Lucero - from Memphis. Southern Rock with a gravelly voice.

Pobert Plant and the Strange Sensation (Mighty Rearranger) and Robert Plant with Allison Krauss (Raising Sand). Must haves!

Joe Bonamassa: a guitar god! Ballard of John Henry is my fave, although I just d/l a brand new one: Black Rock.

Which reminds me: www.emusic.com can be a good way to find (and buy) new music. If you rate stuff you like, they will suggest other stuff for you. Cheaper than buying at itunes too.

thanks for the new bands to try. Luckily the library actually has most of the bands/disks mentioned (they actually deliver to the closest library for a quarter) so I'll be listening to these in a couple days.

I would argue that A Ghost is Born or Yankee Hotel Foxtrot are their best albums (emphasis on Ghost). I mean can you get any better than Spiders (Kidsmoke) and Handshake Drugs???

John Butler Trio - He just had a new CD out last week and I swear he is one of the most technically proficient guitarists playing today.

Mumford and Sons - British and has a somewhat gruff yet easy sound

tbh, I don't have those two... I love AM, and have but do not like Wilco (the album). So I guess I just meant don't get that one!

Had to BUMP this one. WILCO, Lucero, and especially McMurtry are 3 of my all time favs.

I've found that the Son Volt channel on Pandora Radio sprinkle's in a significant amount of these guys along with a ton of Son Volt/Jay Farrar, Steve Earle, Robert Earle Keen, etc.

It's all I brew to.

Also, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot and A Ghost is Born blow both AM and WILCO (The Album) out of the water. The new one, The Whole Love, is their best since Ghost.

have been listening to a little string cheese incident, kind of a bluegrass based jam band. Any artists I should check out?

Hayseed Dixie is cool. They cover a lot of classic rock, but it's all done in bluegrass. They have a few originals too.

 

[dfc]

Gogol Bordello is good as well. They call themselves "Immigrant punk" although they're more like folk music that rocks a little harder.

just notice this thread got revived. Thanks for all the suggestions!
