henry norton Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 I 'discovered' The Lovely Eggs and Anna Calvi over the weekend and thought they were both brilliant! This got me thinking about all the bands I never really got into in the past because they 'didn't have a bass player'. Blurt and Jon Spencer Blues Explosion come to mind but there must be loads more bands who simply don't do low frequencies. Quote

She was quiet as a mouse and wouldn't really engage in any conversation. Her drummer was a really nice guy though had a decent chat with him. Quote

It would be nice if she stayed that way and didn't become some car-crash tabloid darling. I could add bands like, The Doors and The Dandy Warhols but they all used Moogs and stuff for bass lines so they don't really count. Quote
casapete Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Saw Jimmie Vaughan and Steve Winwood live,who both had no bass players as such but used bass pedals on a Hammond. (Actually worked fine for both.) Quote
