As it says! A little side project for a few local pubs in the South Devon area. We're currently at that storming stage of what tracks we could do. The band set up is a four piece but the female vox is quite handy on the keys too...I'm sure the guitard also does a bit of keys and vocals. I have a looper/sampler ;)

So far we've put in the pot Spin Spin Sugar - Sneaker Pimps, Stupid Girl - Garbage, Glory Box - Portishead, Possibly Unfinished Sympathy - Massive attack, Weak - Skunk Anansie. Despite the female vocals we're thinking some other tracks like Nirvana, Janes Addiction, Chili Pepper, Pearl Jam etc.....any further suggestions - i know i know...there's loads but strictly no Oasis shizzle. I'm pushing for Brown Paper Bag Roni Size but not sure it's justifiable on electric bass haha.

Also thinking of a straightforward band name that says it...er 'Strictly 90's' for example ???

Stick some Sleeper tracks in there. I loved them. 'Sale of the Century' is a great one to play.

Stick a couple of Björk tracks in there too - 'Army of me' has a neat little groove.

Anything by The Cranberries / Alanis Morissette / Cardigans / No Doubt / The Breeders

Brown paper bag is fun to play on the lekky bass. Try it & see if it works.

How about a bit of Morcheeba? Hard to choose one song though.

+1 to Bjork. Army of me has a cracking bassline & if you've got a dirt & filter pedal (with expression), then you can have even more fun.

Or Republica I'd say. Radio overkilled to the max. Boring.

If it has to be 90's stuff then:

Waking Up - Elastica
Shee-la-na-gig or/and 50ft Queenie - PJ Harvey.
