Why are these bands obscure?? I happened to be listening to Modest Mouse when I came across this thread. These guys flat out rock, please do yourself a favor and listen to a few of their mp3s if you aren't familiar with them. A few suggestions are:
Teeth Like God's Shoeshine
Doin' the Cockroach
Cowboy Dan
Trailer Trash
3rd Planet
The Stars are Projectors
Lives
Tundra-Desert
Also, for any of you folks that liked Agaetis Byrjun, I suggest you give their debut album Von a listen. You can find all this stuff on my ftp.
