* - Not a TP artist, but one of the best examples of Shoegaze I have ever come across, a band that was sadly short-lived in the mid-90's.
I am really fascinated by potluck lists/sets, it's such a rush to listen to so many disparate (seemingly, to some) genres and song structures in a single night. My usual potlucks come from all over the world; one list might include Swedish funk, Bulgarian State Women's Choir, Philippines Reggae and Egyptian bellydance, buttressed by 30-40 percent of TP songs as well.
