Off the top of my head, hmm...

The Walking Hellos

Renminbi (same drummer as W.H.)
http://www.myspace.com/renminbi
unfortunately I'm missing a gig of theirs right now...

need something noisier? all hail the mighty Boredoms...

I have seen them three times in the past 15 years, each show radically different.

Oneida really impressed me, saw them a couple times last year:

I am so happy that Mission of Burma got back together:

and finally I'll plug my own band, Giggle the Ozone:

the last song is probably closest to what we do since I joined, this stuff is freaking hard for me.

and hey, I remember Killdozer too! "Hey! You! You call this a hamburger? Well, I don't call this a hamburger..."

I'm surprised that I forgot these guys. I saw them at MPMF in 2005 and thought they were great!

Groove Addiction (now The Addiction)

A couple more, although these guys may have passed into the mainstream.

Shiny Toy Guns
"Le Disko"

"You Are The One"

Man - no kidding! Cool punk/newwave-inspired sound. I like the stuff you guys have up, especially The Zenith Imperitave.

Thanks for turning me onto Renminbi too.

Maps and Atlases

A couple of my favorites were "Every Place is a House" and "Big Bopper Anthems". It kind of reminds me of what it might sound like if They Might Be Giants put out an album with Discipline-era King Crimson - or something.

Sparks is avant garde, right?

And I love them:
