new thread: BEST KEPT SECRET IN A CAPPELLA?
Hug0731
newsgroup, we hear lots of talk about some of the really amazing & well-known
groups in a cappella today, such as the house jacks, m-pact, etc...But how
about the really incredible groups out there that maybe not so many people know
about? I'm talking about the groups that aren't quite in the "public eye"
churning out album after album -- yet can still hang with the best of
them...From any genre, style, whatever...
This is your chance to share with the a cappella community a new group they may
be unfamiliar with, as well as maybe generate some talk and new fans for that
group!...

I think that one of the best kept secrets is that there is great a
cappella all over the world, not just around the corner, and that it's
worth to check out what's going on out there.
It's cheesy to promote one's own band(+) , so allow me to promote a
few German groups that *I* think deserve a few international
sales... These are purely personal opininions, partly biased because I
mention friends of mine. Their albums rocked me.

I hope that those German groups I didn't mention here won't start
hating me now... Sorry guys.

Possibly the first a cappella group to do Kashmir, while in the same set
they did the Underdog Theme Song, Hall of the Mountain King, and I Am A
Truck Stop Waitress. Hysterical! Definitely my vote for best kept
secret of a cappella. If I could bring back any of the disbanded
groups, I'd pick them. Well, maybe after the Baltimores! and Acme Vocals
of course, and Quintessence, well, nobody can pick just one!

Debbie, Scott, Moondog and Smelley Kelley! A bleeding riot! I had them
on a double bill w/the EDLOS several times. Totally wack! My fave song
is still "Who Keeps Feedin' Them Pigeons (Nasty Little Rats with Wings)?
followed by the totally stupid "Jaded," in which Scott rhymed that word
with everything from "hated" and "faded" to "Doris Day did!" I still
have my copy of the four (five?)-song cassette and drag it out for a
laugh or two, now and then. Their "Kashmir" was more of a joke than
anything else. The staging was silly, at least the six or seven times
I caught them live. Funny people!

They were truly twisted! Thanks for the blast from the past, Lisa!
I wish I heard them do Kashmir a cappella - I only recall hearing it once, when
we shared a bill with them back in the early 90's. They performed it with Tuba
and one other instrument - was it kazoo? Anyone?

It's that way on the cassette.

Must've been Debbie on kazoo. :-D
(Scott was the horn player, as I recall)

tremendous a cappella talent. There are eight groups there, all at least
worth listening to. Some are exceptional, like the Night Owls (who boast
being the oldest contunuously-operating women's a capella group in the
world).

I saw Vocaleros last summer when they stopped in Trier. There were a
lot of fun. Their main strength, in my opinion, was their song
writing. Granted the purist might be a little disappointed when they
pull out a guitar or two, but it is still good music. Their singing
was made even better because a lot of it where originals (I still
recall a piece of text that struck home: "...this heart is sinking and
the captain is still on board." good song! Unfortunately I didn't see
it on any of their CDs).

It's *way* out of print, and I believe that both MAC and PAC will
list just the groups that have CD's but *might* offer cassettes as
an alternative.

Back in the day, I was known as Junglebook (not MoonDog, Ken!) of The Genuine Diamelles.
What a fun band to be in!
