Recommendations...yes, another thread...

Adam

I know there's a lot of these knockin around, but I guess everyone has their own tastes!

For me, this time round i'm looking for recommendations based on instrumentation, a factor I find important when suggestion bands to people. So what i'm looking for is any piano/drums combinations anybody knows of? Preferably alternative style, not a fan of pop.

A few of you may know the Dresden Dolls, which would be a prime example of what i'm talking about. So lets hear em people!

you might like some stuff by dEUS
try the song "Suds & Soda"

ya-what-now?

Going on the piano moreso than the drums...


Rufus Wainwright?? I'm a huge fan myself!

He has four albums released, Rufus Wainwright, Poses, Want One and Want Two....the want series are excellent, however my favourite album would definitely be Poses.

Maybe try a few tracks and see if ya like...

Foolish Love & Beauty Mark off Rufus Wainwright

Poses off well you guessed it, Poses, if any track get that one first
Grey Gardens off Poses is also worth a listen

Oh What a World
Beautiful Child
Movies of Myself...all off Want One

The Art Teacher
Memphis Skyline (song about Jeff Buckley)
Little Sister (mozartian style piano)...all off Want Two


Enjoy!

Never been released but if you ever see a Nick Cave solo show being billed, go. It's him on piano, a drummer, bass player and violin. I can't think of any more piano/drum combinations like the Dolls though.
