Yesterday, [livejournal.com profile] commonpeople mentioned awful post-Brit pop band Bennett (I seem to remember that I vaguely knew their manager) and I thought of other late 90s bands that were just floating around there without really fitting into a 'scene', or indeed being remembered at all. Instead of singing about Iceland, Bawl wrote about Safeways. I love the twangy chords and the violins.


Scouse folk-hippies Ooberman wrote this dreamy, fey shanty.


Does anyone else remember either of these bands? I asked this of Facebook, but it was during the dead hour of between 5 and 6.

Oh, they had their moments! ;-)

I never heard Hollywood! Do you have anything by them still?

I think I have the Romo compilation on tape somewhere. Give me some time to find it! They sounded a bit like this:

Oh dear... I can just imagine it.

It's a crime that YouTube doesn't have the video for Sexus' Edenites.
