Spudly Posted December 14, 2002 Report Share Posted December 14, 2002 Unknown....? In Canada you mean..... The US has 10 times our population and consequently has 10 times the number of bands that that are at "CanJam" level (sell out bars in their home town).....and 100 times the number of bands that actually tour from coast to coast with a dedicated following.... Cross the border, go to festivals, surf, open your mind, let the border dissolve and let you music tastes not discern political boundaries....you will find that there are COUNTLESS amazing acts that will suit your musical taste... Don't get me wrong, I am a proud Canadian, but when it comes to music, I don't discern....I judge on what makes me smile, laugh, and cut rug.....

Rob Not Bob Posted December 22, 2002 Report Share Posted December 22, 2002 I don't know about whether they are unknown or not, but I don't hear enough about Ulu, a cool sort of Jazz/Funk jamband from the states.

DevO Posted December 23, 2002 Report Share Posted December 23, 2002 Yeah I would have to agree, Granola Funk Express are an awesome band (with a bad name). Another band that comes to mind when reading this thread is Umphree's McGee. I know they are far from unknown these days but still, their name doesn't come up that often in these parts. Thanks to Mark Tonin for turning me on to these guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
