They're a British trio whose dark folk music recalls melancholy Brits like June Tabor and Nick Drake. Lovely stuff, with some rather unsettling lyrics.

Re: Hankdogs?
This is now or soon out on Rykodisc but if my memory serves me right this is not an American Alt country band but a slightly more rootsy version onf the Cranberries hailing from somewhere inside Great Britain. I was listening to it last night and it was very enjoyable. I've still got to listen to it a few more times before I make any really rash judgements. It is, however, worth listening too.

RE: Hankdogs?
Yep, I was tricked by the name as well, plus one of the guys on the cover is wearing a cowboy hat, really surprising me when I heard the first track. Thought this CD was produced by Joe Boyd (sounds like it) but I think he just signed them to Hannibal. -Original Message- From: Don Yates [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 11, 1999 11:46 AM To: passenger side Subject: Re: Hankdogs?

I have thought that if I had a horrible ND/Alt-country ripp-off band, I would call it The Sunsetriders. --Matt Cook Matt Benz wrote: Why don't you start one an "alt-country band name generator..." Lonesome Dog Whiskey Blue Rebel etc...

Gee, I just had this very same conversation with a very prominent West Coast music critic recently g. Inded, quite cliched and downright ridiculous, INHO. However, the most fun conversation we had was: What band/musician would you eradicate from ever existing on the face of the Earth? That is, they neve recorded a thing. Keep this in mind however..if you delete them, you also delete any prior bands, etc For example, we all agreed on Stingbut had to balk since one would then lose the Police. Remember, no AAA or current HNC acts can be considered. I believe we all achieved consensus with Meat Loaf. I fought hard saving Asia, Jethro Tull. Someone else barely saved Eddie Money.

Re: Prissteens? (was re: Hankdogs)
Well. Mr. Tom Kreuger turned me onto them. Kind of a pop group with a punk edge. Remind me of a more melodic Joan Jett the Blackhearts. 3 women and one manall of them sing. So, the harmonies insue. I like 'em...even better than the afore-mentioned Muffs.

Re: Prissteens? (was re: Hankdogs)
Jerry's right-on when he speaks of the Pristeens as a "more melodic Joan Jett" comparison. The Pristeens are an especially fun band. Nothing groundbreaking, but a great album to put on on a Friday night when you're drinking all those Bud Lights. A true rock band they are. See some of you in Nashville tomorrow! np. Slanted and Enchanted.

Re: Prissteens? (was re: Hankdogs)
Go see them...I saw them twice last yr. and thoroughly enjoyed both shows...however, I think I was the only P2er to place Scandal, Controversy Romance in Top 10.

Matt sez: Why don't you start one an "alt-country band name generator..." So I sez: http://rrnet.com/~wbeecher/random/randomframe.html does this for rock bands. http://thejam.com/interactive/country_generator.html does this for country bands. http://www.mandolincafe.com/bandnames/bandname.html does this for bluegrass bands. So there.
