I have no clue. But I really doubt that he thinks that "The" Beatles are obscure, so I'm guessing that he's referring to another band.

Gosh I'm a little sleep and at work but didn't the Secret Chiefs play with John Zorn? I think that's where I know them from and I think I missed a new Au Revoir Simone album.

So sleepy...

They might have played with Zorn, but I don't think you can really classify that band as well known. I mean really... lol

Au Revoir Simone just recently released a new album called Still Night, Still Light, GET IT. Amazing album, definitely their best.

dhyce

Well no I wouldn't think of classifying them as well known despite their associaton with John Zorn as I'm sure there's actually a lot of people who haven't even heard of John Zorn. Thinking of noisy folks, I wonder if Death Sentence: Panda! has ever played with him? Ah well...but yes! I really enjoyed the last Au Revoir Simone album and I noticed you listening to a new one at the other board one day I do believe and I was hoping that it was fairly stellar. Glad to hear it's got your seal of approval.

Don't know who they are, but if they're signed to Roadrunner, they're a relatively big band.

Cannabis corpse, Gorerotted, Regurgitated, Torso****.

dracula_16

Torso**** is horrible. The others are strange in their own right but I would never be caught dead listening to Torso's horrible-ness. :P

Kent

The BeatlesFilm-Guy

Joke?

Anyway I'll go with Lantlos.

One of my favorite album covers as well. Martriden and Nebukadnezar are other pretty obscure bands.

Hmm...I don't know. Manic Street Preachers? They have a fairly large 'cult' following, but they're somewhat underground, especially in America (or at least my area). If people know of them, it's usually because they've heard about their guitarist who disappeared.
