It's OK, casecandy, Regina Spektor is one of my favorite New Wave keyboardists too! :yay:

Suicide was great! Second time this week...

I guess by Microphonies, CV was some New Wave, so Richard H. Kirk?

Christian Lunch:

My favorite xylophone player was in the mommymen:

Hah, was at this show (actually close to this camera too):

Awesome! I really love Regina's stuff, especially the earlier albums, 11:11, Mary Ann Meets The Gravediggers, etc., but she hasn't put out any bad albums. Didn't know she was New Wave though! Back when she first started playing everybody called her anti-folk and lumped her in with My Brightest Diamond and Devendra Banhart, it was weird.

What say you re: Nelly McKay?

Say me: I like her. I've got one of her albums. But, I didn't know she'd done anything in the last decade, or so.

Steve Nieve, or the doot doot guy. Because his hat is cool.

I really like the spoopy keys in The Stranglers stuff. Sometimes it sounds like Zelda music

Good stuff, peeps.

I consider this more synthpop than New Wave, but Vince Clarke is awesome either way:

Nice bump, galvar, does this count?

by **lordgalvar** » Sat Feb 13, 2016 2:21 am

Yes!

Mostly because she scares old ladies! (and my wife has been singing it since we played it haha)...

But only if this does too:

More that I remembered recently (I had been trying to think of Metal Urbain's name for a while, just remembered it tonight when AT mentioned them):

eh, why not:

^ that video is so freaking random...tons of those images ain't even crass, eh?

^ rocking the vl-1

Don't know why I had so much trouble find that...been looking for it since the thread started...but couldn't remember how to spell the second track's name (and forgot the first track was total krig)...anyway haha.

Haha, I forgot about them. We went to a party with one of their cousins (She was a doctor working with my wife during residency). She was like, "What do you do?" (which is the first thing any doctor says to any non-doctor, unless it is "Are you a physician too?")....Plumber wasn't fun to say sometimes at wine and cheese things so I would say "Part time performace artist in a synth punk band." She said, "Oh! my cousin is in the Faint? Do you know them? Are you friends?" Luckily, my wife took over and was like, "Oh, I haven't heard that name in a while...all my friends had crushes on them." haha.

Anyway, more current stuff:
Phantom Limbs (even though they broke up 10 years ago or something and turned into Black Ice and Loto Ball Show):
