Gothic Americana/ Alt-Country/ Dark Cabaret

stupidheader · 01-20-2010, 01:07 PM

Howdy, I saw this thread, and I just had to join. Loathsomepete, I put you down as the person who referred me here by the way. I am a big fan of gothic country, and basically, evil, dark sounding music all around. Those Poor Bastards are probably my favorite band. Has anybody checked out Antic Clay's solo album yet? Antic Clay was the singer for Myssouri before they broke up. His solo album is called Hilarious Death Blues. Oh, and I would also recommend Hank Ray, check out his album Barbeque of Souls, or Countricide if you want to know more about him. Oh, and I would also recommend Wovenhand(16 Horsepower offshoot), The Denver Gentlemen, Th' Legendary Shack Shakers, Reverend Glasseye and His Wooden Legs, The Handsome Family, Ghoultown, and Damn Laser Vampires. Not all of those are strictly goth country, so, be warned, and also, I would recommend all the other bands that have been posted on here, I tried not to duplicate any. I probably forgot some too....

All splendid choices, and I believe most of them if not all of them are uploaded to my mediafire account. I don't ever recall mentioning Music Banter in any of my blogs so forgive me for feigning ignorance as to your identity. I hope you enjoy your time here on Music Banter.

I have to give to ya Pete.... This thread brought me to Musicbanter as well.

I was looking for dark country through google that sounded like the darker side of Johnny Cash. Some how I found this thread through it. I dont know why i never thought of music forums existing before this, considering I am a member of every other type of forum.

BTW I see no one really commented on your Cabaret Music.... Circuis Contraption is great, really twisted ****. I doubt Ill ever get anybody else I know to listen to them on a normal basis like I have been. But I think playing it at a Halloween party will really be a good mix, until then ill keep enjoying them all on my own.

Sux they pretty much are disbanding, from what I read on their site.

Dude, look up Diablo Swing Orchestra, Stolen Babies, and Sleepy Time Gorilla Museum. You sound like you might like them. Diablo Swing Orchestra especially.

I can't agree more, I have been rocking the fuck out of Sing-Along Songs For the Damned & Delirious and There Be Squabbles Ahead lately.

I looked into all those and out of them I kinda liked Stolen Babies.... the Swing Music reminds me a little to much of grandmother, considering she listens to big bands and swing a lot. I have a hard time with vocals that are drowned out by music.

Now when I looked up devil doll.... I take your talking about the devil Doll is an Italian-Slovenian experimental rock band?

Or are you talking about Devil Doll (rockabilly band), the stage name and band name of Colleen Duffy, an American singer?

I really liked the Rockabilly band, even though I am not sure if that's who you meant... I am going to have to check into them a lot more, I usually don't like female vocalists to much but this one sounded great to me.

I couldn't find a Myspace or anything for the Italian one, but Ill find something soon enough.

Hey, does anyone know where I can find a link for some of Jay Munly's solo albums? All i got is his Lee Lewis album. Also, I would like to find some Slim Cessna's Auto CLub album links, I got the Cipher album, but nothin else.

I can send you Jimmy Carter Syndrome but I have yet to come across anything else by Munly, except for physical copies from a website of his that looks to be pretty dead. As far as Slim Cessna's Auto Club, I think I've got one or two of their albums uploaded that i can send as well.

Sweet, that would be awesome, I would really appreciate that, I haven't been able to find a thing.

I was recently contacted by Jim Strange from the Portland Oregon band Jim Strange with the Proud and the Damned. He's been following my blog for awhile now and likes what I've been doing. He recommended me this Portland band, Ashcan Orchid and I cannot stop listening to them. Their music is just such an eclectic blend of so many different styles. Lyrically it has a lot in common with various Gothic Country bands, however the sound the rest of the band creates is so varied that it's really hard to classify. At times it's very upbeat and swing sounding, then other times it's softer, slower, and more "ballady". I'm not sure if they've released any music for purchase yet, but when they do I will definitely get my hands on it.
