Bands that were way too short lived
 

I'm talking 2 LPs and an EP maximum.

Rapeman
Rites of Spring/Happy Go Licky

Slint (Reformed)
Codeine
Chavez (Reformed)

Chickasaw Mudd Puppies



White Dirt ep, 1990



8 Track Stomp lp, 1991

Birdmen Of Alkatraz

The Nerves

There's some other band that came out late 90s or so. Not talkin' bout them.

Talking 'bout the band with Peter Case, mid-70s, did orginal version of Hanging on the Telephone. Has two tracks on "DIY: Come Out and Play: American Power Pop I (1975-1978)"

Also, The Fucking Small Boys never seemed to get off the ground. Pity. Bad management? Artistic differences? We'll never know.

what about one last wish?

basquiat's band gray. their only release that i know of was in the movie downtown '81 and it was only one song. i think vincent gallo has all the recordings locked up somewhere.
