From my college town
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spooner_(band)
a sort of Cars type 70s and 80s band.
From Finland
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apulanta
everything is metal these days but at lest they sing in English

The front man made it to a Violent Femmes album

Finland 70s

Wigwam might turn up for a reunion gig, YP no. Tolonen, a Clapton level guitarist had too much weed, stabbed his drug dealer girl friend and sings hymns at the piano. He never sang in his rock career.

Always had a weakness for VAST
Don't know if they're not so well known or not
Don't know if they're not so well known or not
Let us think the unthinkable, let us do the undoable, let us prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all.

Re: Your favorite not so well known bands
I'm wild just like a rock, a stone, a tree
And I'm free, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I flow, just like a brook, a stream, the rain
And I fly, just like a bird up in the sky
And I'll surely die, just like a flower plucked
And dragged away and thrown away
And then one day it turns to clay
It blows away, it finds a ray, it finds its way
And there it lays until the rain and sun
Then I breathe, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I grow, just like a baby breastfeeding
And it's beautiful, that's life
And I'm free, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I flow, just like a brook, a stream, the rain
And I fly, just like a bird up in the sky
And I'll surely die, just like a flower plucked
And dragged away and thrown away
And then one day it turns to clay
It blows away, it finds a ray, it finds its way
And there it lays until the rain and sun
Then I breathe, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I grow, just like a baby breastfeeding
And it's beautiful, that's life

Speaking of, Actual Tigers (often compared to Wilco) were a great group.

Undeclinable Ambuscade. A band from Den Bosch, not far from where I was born. I've been to practically every concert they gave for 6-7 years.

Not in my circle of friends. The only other people I know who listen to them are my brother, his wife and a couple of their friends.Bella Fortuna wrote:Wilco's a very well-known band.

Re: Your favorite not so well known bands
Will play the videos.
But I had in mind bubbling under bands that had regional fans, fanatics!, but no national or international fame. Every once in a while John Peel would find a US band nobody heard of.
