Obscure bands


Does anyone know a band called City Boy? (70's/80's)Very obscure and very original. It's beyond Me how such great talent goes so unnoticed! Also please chime in on other obscure talented musicians.

"Love Terry Reid, and actually have an old Shonen Knife record. The Terry stuff I still listen to- haven’t pulled out that Knife record since what- the ’80s?"

Terry Reid is apparently still going strong, judging from his youtube vids. Knock on wood. The Shonen Knife CD to get if you ask me is Let’s Knife. Classic punk or whatever. :-)

Iko-Iko out of Miami. They're well known there, but everywhere else would qualify as obscure. They've been through many incarnations, some better than others, but they keep coming back with new crew and new tunes. 

Two of their CDs I can highly recommend, "Protected by Voodoo" and "Shine", 

Terry Reid was Jimmy Page’s first choice for singer of the new Group he was putting together in ’68. When Terry declined, Jimmy asked another guy ;-).
