Help with a band

[Mill]

I used to listen to this band all the time, and I owned their CD. I cannot at all remember their name(drug days) and I can't find a nice archive of active band news during this time period. They were considered alternative, and were played on the local alternative station. They were not a big time act, but they were not minuscule either. I know I couldn't possibly be more vague, but I'm hoping someone knows of some type of archive where I could begin to search. They may have had one "hit" song.

 

[Schadenfreude]

you might be able to find it on amazon? They let you sample songsso you might be able to find out from that . . ..

 

[Don Vito Corleone]

Do you remember any snippets of lyrics or anything? Your description makes it tough to help much.

 

[TerryMathews]

Give us something to work with - names, words, what the singer looked like.

 

[RagingBITCH]

There were plenty of one hit wonders, especially in alternative. It's a needle in a haystack

 

[wkabel23]

Obligatory "use Google" response to get that out of the way

I also would try Amazon, but perhaps you could call some friends or even the station?

 

[bdjohnson]

listen to alternative radio now. they usually stick with material for a long time so you have a good chance of hearing it again.

 

[boomdart]

Orgy?

*shrug* Try to think of some lyrics, put them in quotes in a google search, easy find.

They weren't a one hit wonder, but only one or two of their songs got play. For the damn life of me I cannot remember any lyrics at all. Not even a snippet! I just need to be able to peruse active artists or records relisted in a genre by a specific year. Something like that has to exist, right? I have a basic mind gap during 1999-2000, so I can't really say anything about that time period. I remember this the other day and it keeps coming back to me, but so vaguely that it just drives me nuts.

 

[Mill]

Splender. Or at least that is the band I remember. Maybe there was another too. This was back when Vertical Horizon, Splender, etc got play

Do you know if they were on a big label?

It would be nice if there was a site similar to IMDB for music, but CDDB sucks. My guess is 7Mary3.

The billboard charts for that time period would be a good place to look, I don't think you can access their archives for free though.

 

[Mill]

Ok Nine Days is something I remember as well.

 

[TheBDB]

Try finding a "Top 100 songs of 1999" list or something similar.

 

[Mill]

Nine days isn't it I don't think. I'm starting to remember stars/shooting stars.

 

[mugs]

I'm guessing you're not talking about Lone Star, because that would be country

Although they did play that crap on alternative stations for some reason.

 

[Excelsior]

Eve 6?

Hum?
edit: that was '95

 

[SWScorch]

Hum? They sang a song called "Stars"

 

[Triumph]

Nirvana?

 

[Mill]

In a song they were talking about shooting stars. This was not a big name band, and I don't see them on any charts. I really don't think they EVER made it nationally or if they did it was just with alternative stations.

 

[Mill]

I'm resigned to the fact that I'll never figure it out because of such vague information on my part. I can only hope to somehow grab a clue one day just randomly walking down the street. Fvck me.

 

[Mill]

Ok, I remember the cd had a clayish orange background with blue looking text.

 

[styrafoam]

She thinks she's on the train to mars, she's out back counting stars?

I don't know who sung that but I remember the line.
