Thanks Mike.

This will be a great addition to my bar music.

I think I'll call it

"The Intercontinental Biker Bar"

And sell used killer robot parts in the parking lot. 🏍 🏍 🏍

I'll set up friendly competition across the road, The Anti-Transatlantiscism Walkers Bar. Red pill shooters always at Happy Hour prices.

Another interesting collection. The “Shallow Waters” vid was fun. I assume this was a reunion of sorts with all past members. The “ Sounds of Silence” was a bit disconcerting at first. I went through it twice. Jeremy Loops was just infectious energy. I imagine that was a blast to make. The yellow trains kept showing up in various videos. “Heroin Mary” stole the show for me. That was a helluva project. Deity Muse channeled old memories of Nirvana right down to the shirt the guitar player was wearing. As always I enjoy you pointing to bands I wouldn’t see otherwise. Thanks.

Ard Matthews is the singer of Just Jinjer which was massive in the early Nineties with that song. A couple of celebs joined him, the biggest being Arno Carstens (defunct Springbok Nude Girls) and Karen Zoid. here's another song from the original album - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ld5oQnOYarM

I found that this version of 'Sounds of Silence' better matched the lyrics. Like Marilyn Manson doing "Sweet Dreams'.

Glad you dug Lark. They should have been as big as Massive Attack - here's an even better song https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=sb1Xu6mQRMI

Deity's Muse is the only rock band I know that has kept going consistently. They don't do it as a job but rather have their jobs support their passion.

Thanks for listening!

Thanks for the links. I enjoyed reading the comments under each song. Each of these groups may not have attracted world wide acclaim, but they had local hard core fans. Each song sparked remembrances of a life experience. To my mind that’s one of the greatest powers of the musical experience.

It sure is, and an argument for protecting culture.
