Thread for your LOCAL MUSIC

taking the liberty of being able to start a thread on Menless Monday on the music board.

Inspired by chatter on the thread about ‘music cities’ - this is a rolling thread for posting about bands/artists that are from YOUR neck of the woods. From your city/town/county - and ideally still based there. And maybe more on the theme of artists that you think should be heard more widely across the land(s) rather than those who are already out there doing the biggy tours.

I’ll start with one from Manchester. Please post yours.

Quincey May Brown

Harpist and fascinating song writer - lyrics always merit listening to properly. Almost Richard Dawson-esque in the lyric writing, but obviously the vocal style is very different. And who can argue with harps being just nice to listen to??

Put this out a little while ago. Welsh electronica (mostly Cardiff, but some from further afield).

Excellent all genre electronica compilation - I’m on there under a couple of names, as is @colossalhorse but the whole thing is excellent. Honestly my Sunbane track is probably one of the weaker things on there.

We put out a few of these over a 3-4 year period and the last one was my favourite.

great thread idea. For Edinburgh I’ll throw in the two I saw on Saturday (see gig thread)

Bikini Body - dance-post-punk, but more fun and intense than the genre usually is. Excellent front woman, gets nice and angry live

Buffet Lunch - weirdo seaside pop, full of warped hooks. Playing a few English dates in April so go catch em
