What are the bands today that can really play? Does anyone know? |
Bloody hell Henry !! Your normally sane comments are thrown out of the window!!
Let's see...QOTSA, Dirtbombs, Little Fish (new Linda Perry signing with possibly the greatest drummer on the planet), Von Bondies, Raconteurs, Spiritualised, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, the Feeling (yeuch - but they can play , some the best ex-sessioners out there), Coldplay (more yeauch), Amy Winehouses band (okay, turntables), Beck Hanson, MGMT, Dirty Harry (bad songs, great players), Black Pyramid, Rosetta.... there are LOADS of great (i mean really ****ing GREAT live bands) - just dont look to the ruddy charts.
and most of those acts are smalltime sellers - and from many genres (some i hate by the way, but i have to admit they can play!)
