I don't know them all, but some of them--Witch Hazel, The Coctails, Honeybunch--were pretty big when I was 18 or so (1994). Aleka's Attic was River Phoenix's band. I haven't ever actually heard them, but that name definitely got thrown around a lot for a few years. Fudge are from my hometown of Richmond VA, so I saw them multiple times and even knew a couple of the guys in that band. And Small Factory were seriously HUGE back then. I thought their reputation would have survived, for sure.<br /><br />But regardless, it's cool that you've heard this stuff now, and if you do track down the other works of these bands, you've got some great listening ahead of you. I recommend starting with Small Factory's "I Do Not Love You" LP and Fudge's "The Ferocious Rhythm Of Precise Laziness," but you really can't go wrong.Andrew TSKShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04102428606697946367noreply@blogger.com
