Name fairly obscure 90s band that had hit or two but are now forgotten

Trixter - Give It To Me Good



I hate to mention Trixter as they still tour with this lineup seen in these videos. Sorry Trixter guys if you are reading this. No dis intended!

 

And this by Trixter - One In A Million

 

Velvet Crush "Hold Me Up"



The full record (Teenage Symphonies to God) is actually really good, as I remember anyway. It has been 20+ years after all.

I think I saw this video on 120 Minutes maybe once or twice. The single got a bit of airplay on college radio (relatively speaking).

 

The Ocean Blue.... I think they were from Boston maybe... sounded like English groups...
I don't remember ever hearing anything by them again at the time...

 

The Cash Brothers

 

Hershey, PA. You're right about the influences, tho'.

Their best work was actually a few records after this one. They're still around, and still great.

Being from deep PA, they were also good friends of the Innocence Mission (themselves back one page in this thread).

 

some Bosstones

 

Artificial Joy Club - Sick and Beautiful

 

Another great single by her is "Do You Sleep?".

I still listen to the Bosstones quite a bit.
I'm a Bostonian though, so maybe I'm in the minority.

 

The presidents of the USA

 

I'd say this makes you a Bosstonian!!! Ha ha ha!!!

Ugh...

 

Awesome guys. "Glee" was an forgotten gem

 

Pop will eat itself was pretty fresh.

 

Italy WC

 

Football theme again.
Collapsed lung - eat my goal.

 

Before Fatboy become slim.

 

ME TOO!!!

I used to talk to cab drivers but now I just don't bother, I'd empty out my pockets when some would ask me for a quarter.

 

I'm in a totally different part of the country, so they dont get much exposure out here... I figured they had a pretty good following where ever they are. Great band.

 

Bran Van 3000, Belly, Beats International, Lisa Loeb obscure? They had tons of airplay.

 

Wocka Wocka Wocka

 

Probably mentioned already, but the great Catherine Wheel (who've enjoyed a resurgence the last decade at least in appreciation)

 

Here's one--the Dave Grohl-produced Verbena. Can't remember if this was late 90's or early 00's though.

 

I'm sure the Eels have been mentioned...but how about lead singer Mark Oliver Everett's solo project A Man Called E:
