    Default Unknown singers/bands that you would recommend

    I thought that since there are so many unsigned artists out there, this would be a great way to find some new music to listen to. Since we at CP come here from all over the world, what a better place to find some great new tunes. So, who do you have hiding up your sleeve?

    What got me started on this is that I stumbled upon this woman singing on Youtube. All I can say is, WOW. Really good for someone who is self taught and that has no formal vocal training. Just some great raw talent.Enjoy.

    For any of you surf guitar/atomic age sci-fi fans (I know you're out there), check out Man or Astro-man?
    Think Dick Dale meets the Jetsons and you should have a pretty clear picture. My absolute favorite band during my high school and college years.
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    Take a look / listen to 'Playing for Change'. I listen to NPR alot and get some great reviews and suggestions on new to me music. The other week I listened as they talked about the Playing for Change colaboration.

    Playing for Change is a DVD / CD of different street musicians from around the world. They have colaborated on different songs while NOT being brought all together. It begins with a single street musician playing a song. He wears NO headphones. As other musicians join in you'll notice most wear headphones to hear the first musician and their singing/playing is added to the song. From a single singer/guitar player it goes to an added singer to another, to another guitar added, to a drummer, to a violinist, to a chello player, then a band of indians join in with tribal drums, then another group of singers and so on and on and on. Of course since this is a colaboration of musicians from around the world and the proceeds go to a good cause Bono / U2 makes a cameo on the tracks here and there.

    The work is engineered rather well and the songs are familiar. I'll add a link to a sample but the videos doesn't do justice to the produced work you'll find on the DVD / CD. Keep in mind all these musicians are just street performers and no studio work was done on this other than the mastering and engineering for production.

    Here are 2 of me favorite selections.

    Oh also have a listen to the soundtrack to the movie 'The Incredibles'. If you like James Bond soundtrack type music this guy did a great job of copying this type of genre.

    I am a big fan of David (pronounced dahveed) Garza (www.davidgarza.com). I think he is not that well known outside of TX or CA. This link is to a 3 part 'film' about David: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mi4Y1...eature=channel His music is an amalgamation of rock and bluesy folk, with lots of odd influences. Give it a listen; he does some groovy things with a guitar.

    The DVD has good audio quality as well. And seeing the songs put together is a neat trick too.
