Most Obscure Band no ones heard of

Lots of bands are obscure. Most bands are obscure even! I'll name a couple of things both obscure and eccentric.
Nuclear Power Pants are noise rock, and they hailed from White Plains NY. The lead singer consisted of two guys in a huge suit (they were supposed to be a nuclear mutant) while the rest of the band wore big neon green angular dinosaur heads, one guitarist was meant purely to make feedback with his amp.
FCFT (Fur Cups For Teeth) I played with in NYC, they're three girls and a space-filler drummer. The girls are constantly switching off instruments, and play some really great power-pop. Their on-stage 'characters' are intentionally very valley girly. They're also adorable, and every show they play has a theme. The one I've played with them was "blown up on the 4th of July", they'll frequently include normally-non-musical things into their show and use them musically, such as vacuum cleaners.

This is far from 'the most obscure band', because at some point bands are obscure for a reason. But they're pretty obscure, I'd wager that most of you haven't heard them, and if you like Buzzcocks style power pop punk mixed with glam and elvis costello, check out Steve E. Nix and The Cute Lepers.
Never heard it (unless it was played in a club without me knowing who it was), but most certainly have heard of it, I like Darkwave.darkless said:

Hooray for Irish Folk Rock! (that's how I'd define it if I had to anyway)Stringytank said:
"I wrestled a bear once" With smash hits such as "tates like kevin bacon", and "Corey feldman holocaust" wtf is there not to love.
YEAH! I love the fact they don't take themselves too seriously. There's even a song called 'I think I lost my headache' whose sole purpose is to induce headaches!Srsly said:

I spend a lot of time looking through music forums/blogs to find new stuff. about 30% of the stuff in this thread I've heard of. I'm sure a lot of people who like to listen to underground stuff will have heard of the bands I listed.

Am I the only one curious on how you all know about bands that 'nobody' has ever heard of?
I'd think by definition these bands would never be found because the moment they are found them somebody has heard of them.

I'm sure your taking it too literally. Its just a thread about obscure bands who have yet to be discovered by mainstream.theultimateend said:
