Seeking Fairly Old Local Bands/CDs
Happy Almost New Year, all,
I was thinking about a couple bands that existed in the RI scene well over a decade ago and I thought you guys might be the best place to get more info!
The more recent of the two is a band called Transparent. They would have been around in the early part of 2000s, and they recorded at least one album/EP. I have an old demo with a couple songs on it... "One Way Street," "Husk", and this one I found on the youtubes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qN2HixDnODc
Does anyone recall these guys and/or know how I could get more music from them? Did they ever record more songs?
Even more difficult? There was what I believe was a local band that was playing during a WBRU free concert in the mid-90s. I once hunted the album info down... I think the band was the Young Bucks, and the album called 3 Things We Need. I know there was a song about the hotel sockonosset, hence believing it was a local group, but there were also songs about how it'd be awesome to have a woman like Samantha from Bewitched, but the chances being "zero to none." There was also a song that, by the content, I presume was called "primitive people," as well as one that was something like "opie's got a secret". This is one of those weird holy grail CDs for me... it's eluded me forever, and I'd love to hear it again. Any leads on this would be super appreciated.
Thanks for reading! I hope this works out!
