(The recent David Grissom thread conjured up all kinds of Storyville memories, as well as of the Austin live music scene of years past... spinoff time!)
For this thread, I was hoping to focus on lesser-known artists or groups. I'm picturing outfits which only lasted for an album or two, rather than pining for twenty additional Rush studio albums or something.
So, who had a killer sound in your world, that you wish had gone huge? Post clips if you're able.
Probably my #1: Arc Angels
I remember watching those Letterman gigs, absolutely jazzed that my fave local group was destined for super-stardom. Then it all fell apart as described above. Sadface.
Man, they were powerful. I know they didn't get along for anything, but damn were they ever solid together.

Probably my #1: Arc Angels
Their 1992 debut album, Arc Angels, met with critical approval and reached No.127 on the Billboard chart. Arc Angels made their network television debut on the NBC show Late Night with David Letterman on June 9, 1992, performing "Living In A Dream". They performed on the show again on January 6, 1993, this time playing "Too Many Ways to Fall".
Bramhall's heroin addiction and internal friction caused the breakup of the band in 1993. The Arc Angels broke up in October of that year, concluding their run with a series of farewell concerts at Austin's Backyard outdoor venue.
