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 ???

Hard to do this without hearing the voice... but in the spirit of the thread

Ah Republica....forgot about them! Good call.

Her voice, quite low...Alison Moyet ish - good for the Portishead vibe...soulful. Guitard is quite high...i'd say he could do the Janes Addiction thing :)

And if you are in the West Country how about Dreckly 90s, or perhaps Maid in the 90s as a band name?

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.

Brilliant song! I had forgotten about that altogether, thanks.

Also, of the same ilk, Goldbug's version of Whole Lotta Love
