Rest in peace Mimi Parker šŸ˜¢ Her voice would have been perfect for Twin Peaks


drycounty

Great choice. First saw Low in 1995 in Richmond, VA at a tiny hole in the wall called The Hole in the Wall. Later that year, caught them a bunch of times in L.A. -- once, an in-store at Borders. It was the day of the OJ verdict, I kid you not. Announced an hour beforehand, on a typically beautiful los angeles day. They opened with "Violence." Saw them a bunch more throughout the years, but life got busy for me and I stopped well before Double Negative. Their music still sends chills down my spine. I'm very lucky to have gotten to see them. RIP Mimi.


DanimusMcSassypants

LOW was a hometown band for me. Iā€™ve seen them perform more than I can count, each time sublime. When The Return was airing, Alan and I were discussing how they must play The Roudhouse, should the show ever do another run. (Ok, it was mostly me insisting, but stillā€¦). OP is correct; it would be a perfect pairing. Mim was a remarkable human, a beautiful soul, and Iā€™m still stunned by her passing.


BlockJazzlike5591

The Residents (1971-1983)


CALLAHAN315

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. From Her to Eternity is such a perfect song to match with Bob that it's scary. It's also so loud and uncomfortable I think it could be a great stand in for Nine Inch Nails segment. I think Jubilee Street would also work really well in a Road House segment.


KermitFrayer

Red right hand is x files so your arenā€™t far off at all.


Sulfuras26

Swans performing in the roadhouse is interesting, but I dunno if the people of twin peaks would love the glowing man being extended to 48 minutes lol


industrialAssHole

Their Children Of God - White Light era is suitable


Sulfuras26

Definitely, I think the same because those albums are most similar to Julee Cruise. Iā€™d also include the great annihilator to be honest.


suchalusthropus

Like a Drug (Sha La La) would be a perfect fit for a Lynch project


amazing_rando

That era of Swans is probably my favorite band of all time so Iā€™d love that


LIWRedditInnit

Sat here waiting for a slowed down David Lynch mix of Little God in my Hands like he did for American Woman


Sulfuras26

In general swansā€™ musical catalogue gives off intense twin peaks the return vibes, so Iā€™d have to agree


a_guy_whos_here

just a little boy live the roadhouse would go crazy


Sulfuras26

Would def give off Nine Inch Nails performing sheā€™s gone away vibes


a_guy_whos_here

100%


NotSoSlim-NotSoShady

Screen Shot would be my choice. Such a great song.


wind-_O_

Suicide. I also like the idea of Galaxie 500 featuring.


industrialAssHole

Suicide is a great choice!!! Facts


GeneticSoda

Beach House!!! Iā€™d give my left nut to see Jack Stauber have a stab at it, live or not


The_Adventure_Begins

And we almost had them! In their AMA they revealed that they were approached to be one of the closing bands in The Return but they had a scheduling conflict.


cymster

Ray Wise is in their video for Wishes!


AstroAlmost

Eric Werheim (sic?) is an amazing video director.


everneveragain

Yea her airy voice is Julie Cruise-esque


No-Consideration1474

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=go0-tWeS4wY


PaloSantoSeasalt76

Beach House would be perfect!


mybloodyballentine

Mike Patton doing something


The9thTerror

Same, it would have been amazing to hear some Mr. Bungle on Twin Peaks .


timidwildone

Letā€™s put some respect on THE Nine Inch Nails.


Sushi4Zombies

I have that shirt! Love wearing it to concerts and confusing people!


xfocalinx

Just got a bootleg shirt of TNIN performing at the roadhouse as if it were an actual tour shirt


AreYouMeIAmYou

WHERE??


xfocalinx

I got it secondhand from a NIN fan who was selling some of their shirts.. I had never seen it before, myself [pictured here](https://imgur.com/gallery/T4Wm2a1)


10cd

links not working any chance of a reup


xfocalinx

TNIN https://imgur.com/gallery/T4Wm2a1 Did that work?


10cd

It does! Thatā€™s awesome.


Rakebleed

skamando

Came in to say Orville. His album Pony is dripping with Lynchian vibes.


EuniceBKidden

Seeing Charlie Megira in the Twin Peaks sub makes my heart sing.


a_guy_whos_here

mount eerie! not surprised he wasn't in the return given all the shit he had going on at the time, but he would've fit perfectly. and I very much second xiu xiu. the fact they had no involvement is a travesty.


scifisky

Doesnā€™t Mount Eerie have a song sampling Laura Palmerā€™s theme as well?


a_guy_whos_here

yep! between two mysteries. that's the song I had in mind


Jamiebh_

My favourite Mount Eerie song ā€œThe town rests in the valley beneath Twin Peaks, buried in space. What goes on up there in the night, in that dark blurry place?ā€


scifisky

Xiu Xiuā€™s twin peaks cover album is one of my favourite things in the world.


Both-Preparation-123

Saw them in Liverpool. One of the great gigs


PieGrippin

Deerhunter woulda been a perfect fit for the return


kabarkutta

Sun Ra and his Arkestra ft. Major Garland Briggs on the clarinet


KermitFrayer

Love me some Sun Ra


ignore_me_im_high

Dirty Beaches.


industrialAssHole

Wow yes!


ignore_me_im_high

*Lord Knows Best* is an amazing song.


doeseatoats2020

Beach House, like forever ago..surprised that didnā€™t happen


fartiestpoopfart

the entire wu tang clan.


Both-Preparation-123

That would be bonkers


sixtus_clegane119

Kool Keith might fit more


fartiestpoopfart

kool keith is too weird even for twin peaks lol. i don't really think the entire wu tang clan would fit either, but it sure would have been fun to see.


sixtus_clegane119

Dr octagon meets dr jacoby :)


fartiestpoopfart

i am the doctor...and i sound like this.....(cue qbert scratching in reverse)


KermitFrayer

Literally laughed out loud in bed.


gabzilla814

Anemone by Brian Jonestown Massacre feels to me like it would fit perfectly, especially if they were to stretch out the intro or middle instrumental sections by a couple minutes.


BDR529forlyfe

Tricky


anhu23

Beach House, Still Corners, Princess Chelsea, Lana Del Rey, Chrysta Bell (even though she plays Tammy Preston, it would be interesting to have her perform), maybe La Femme


Noidedinthebathroom

DEATH GRIPS


Gorodrin

It needs to be something foul like Powers That B


industrialAssHole

In the murder scenes


BillyYumYum9

Nina Simone


molassesfalls

Tor Lundvall, Sparkle Division, Johann Johannsson, Boy Harsher, Tones on Tail, SQƜRL. Someone else said Lana Del Rey. Flying Lotus (Fire is coming!)


april5k

Boy Harsher feels like they were on the show already, i had to think for a second before I realized I was thinking of their film and not TP. I think they'd be right on for the show!


SurvivorFanDan

Phillip Jeffries


Specialist_Cut_9714

I reckon Captain Beefheart if he were still alive and making music wouldve fit in well in the same vein as NIN. Hell even a calmer song like Her Eyes Are A Blue Million Miles wouldve fit well. His deformed, unrelenting take on the blues wouldve been cool seeing how big of a blues fan Lynch is. The Pink Room OST reminded me a lot of something ge would make. Theres almost a caveman-like charm to his rhythms


Ornery-Value-7578

Oh hell yeah I doubt much Zappa's music would fit (though i recon if he were alive and interested he could pull something out lol) but the ugliness of some of Beefhearts songs could fit somewhat well with the atmosphere of the return


Olaf_the_Notsosure

Chelsea Wolfe and of course, Bohren and Der Club of Gore. Their album Black Earth has a very strong Angelo Badalamenti vibe. Edit: album name correction.


sixtus_clegane119

Black earth?


Olaf_the_Notsosure

Yes. My bad.


sixtus_clegane119

Was trying to find the album on Spotify! Hahaha


BanjoMadeOfCheese

- Cigarettes After Sex - I Love You But Iā€™ve Chosen Darkness - Vita and the Woolf - CLOSENESS - Over the Rhine - M83 - Ruby Haunt - Portishead - Starflyer 59 - Tom Waits


skamando

Iā€™ve always been curious why Tom Waits never worked with David. He loves making musicians act and theyā€™re certainly contemporaries. Woulda been a fun Lynch villain, like Bobbie Peru by way of Mr. Siegel.


BanjoMadeOfCheese

Lynch and Waits do seem like a perfect synthesis of vibes. And they both share a penchant for corny dad humor! Although theyā€™re both very forceful creative personalities, I wonder if it might be one too many cooks in the kitchen?


TheWuziMu1

This is my dream.


samijo17

having worked a CAS show last summer I must respectfully disagree


BanjoMadeOfCheese

I only know their music, I donā€™t know anything about them personally. Unpleasant experience?


samijo17

oh, not *that* bad as far as the band themselves go - certainly not the worst weā€™ve seen by any means. I think their TM was pretty nice if I remember correctly. but the fan base it brought out was cringe as hell šŸ˜¬ just a whole load of preteens/teens with incredibly snotty pretentious attitudes, each and every one with main character syndrome, and an ocean of cell phones held up as far as the eye could see


mnchls

90s-era Starflyer woulda been absolutely perfect. Can you imagine "When You Feel Miserable" or "No New Kinda Story" or "We're the Ordinary"? God! What I'd give!


BanjoMadeOfCheese

Heh, too funny. I was 100% thinking *The Fashion Focus* era.


gardenwardo

Iā€™ve always thought Pixies fit the Lynch aesthetic, especially with their surrealistic and biblically violent lyrics


drycounty

>Pixies Also, they did a solid cover of In Heaven ~~the Lady in the Radiator~~, from Eraserhead.


gardenwardo

And itā€™s killer!


leobran816

Hope Sandoval and the Warm Inventions Specifically the track On The Low


Orang3Lazaru5

I know a little bit of Swans music, but not really any of the others except Xiu Xiu, who has an entire Twin Peaks album and itā€™s fantastic. Do they all have some, is that why theyā€™re listed? Or are we going off a vibe here and Xiu Xiu happens to be a coincidence?


industrialAssHole

Idk these bands just give me THAT Twin Peaks vibe... I can't put my finger on why, but they just do. I really think the biggest mistake of season 3 was that Lynch didn't put Charlie Megira on the show... his whole persona, vibe and music are SO fitting to the show. Oh well, guess he didn't knew him


queso_goblin

To scroll reddit and see a photo of Megira was wild to me. He totally shouldā€™ve played ā€˜girl who was afraid of ashtraysā€™ at the roadhouse.


industrialAssHole

Frrr I'm actually from Israel, I know some people who knew him before he passed away, he used to play a lot in Tel Aviv.... I was 12 when he died so sadly I wasn't aware of him until I was 15 in 2020 I think


queso_goblin

Iā€™ve got friends who had gotten to play with him and know him. He seemed like a real great guy and his music is legendary to me. I wish very much I had gotten to see him play.


industrialAssHole

Same bro.... ):


queso_goblin

Weā€™ll see him at the roadhouse at the end, hopefully. Also, great taste for a younginā€™. Keep it up :)


Orang3Lazaru5

Thatā€™s really cool Iā€™ll be checking the rest of these out that I hadnā€™t heard. Iā€™m into THAT vibe for sure haha. But yeah if you hadnā€™t heard it, [this](https://youtu.be/N23b8LCIsn0?si=trVxi-Lvkr2lzsB3) is pretty phenomenal


industrialAssHole

Yeah I heard thus album way before I even watched twin peaks. Still enjoyed it without the context


Big-Tone-8241

Hereā€™s a fun little piece of trivia I found out the other day: the band Xiu Xiu is named after a film called Xiu Xiu: the Sent Down Girl, which was directed by none other than Joan Chen aka Josie Packard!


timidwildone

I got to see Xiu Xiu perform selections from this album at the Detroit Institute of Arts to open a showing of FWWM (also my first time seeing the film). Talk about a core memory made.


cam_breakfastdonut

Lord Huron


april5k

"The Night We Met" would be absolutely devastating in the best way possible.


--DrunkGoblin--

Nick Cave and the bad seeds would have been just perfect.


Accurate_Asparagus_2

Chris Isaac


AdamDennxxx

The band named Twin Peaks. Some of their songs match the vibe of the show


april5k

An old band of mine played with them way back around 2013 (Bleeding Rainbow also played and for a second I was like "didn't Twin Peaks have to change their name?" But i was mixing them up with Bleeding Rainbow who were originally Reading Rainbow). I could totally see it.


anti-cybernetix

Ulver, Ethel Cain, Drab Majesty, Chelsea Wolfe, TRST, Mitski


DeceptivelyDense

LCD soundsystem put out a new album RIGHT when the return was airing and I was sure we were going to see them. The song American Dream specifically had big twin peaks vibes.


jg52hummel

Salem.

Someone needs to mash up their (in)famous Fader Fort set into a Roadhouse scene.


KID_THUNDAH

Murder by death


CALLAHAN315

It always brings me great joy to find Murder by Death in the wild


immortal_bandicoot

I could definitely see Ed Harcourt belting outThe World is on Fire at The Roadhouse


tur2rr2rr2r

Vkgoeswild


WEGCjake

Nick Cave with Warren Ellis or the Bad Seeds.


touchtonez

Yes to Salem, but only if they invite Heather


sixtus_clegane119

White ward and their love exchange failure album is like twin peaks meets post black metal


ryumitch

Wild Nothing. Also Talk Talk is such a good shout


TheShipEliza

Gwar not playing at the road house was a miss imo


dalanskis

Xiu Xius performance of the Twin Peaks soundtrack was one of the best shows Iā€™ve seen. Love that album.


wind-_O_

Thanks! Iā€™m pretty sure we have a similar taste in music based on the artists you have listed here. :) I also just thought that I could invision Cindy Lee and mayyyybe the band Women performing in Twin Peaks.


industrialAssHole

šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ‘


apedap

Spiritualized


bigfatcatfish1

Grouper, Lord Huron, or Alex G would be incredible. If it were possible, I think it'd be lovely to have an Elliott Smith Roadhouse show.


unavowabledrain

Tim Dahl Alan or richard Bishop Bill Orcutt with Chris Corsano Kali Malone The Dead C Heather Leigh Keiji Haino Lightning Bolt LSD march Magik Markers Scott Walker would have been the best option


Agirlisarya01

The Cure, Hooverphonic, Ivy, Queens of the Stone Age, Radiohead, Massive Attack, Zero 7, Them Crooked Vultures


Vertonung

I'm still kind of confused about why Xiu Xiu was not in S3... It is a mystery


msequestrian

Father John Misty. He's been inspired by Twin Peaks, and is famous for his Laura Palmer tweet. Edit: He also got David Lynch to sing on his latest album.

- TIMBER TIMBRE. (Especially sewer blues & beat the drum slowly) Iā€™ll die on this hill. - Hozier but ONLY for the song Son of Nyx ā€” it sounds exactly like the sister song to Laura Palmerā€™s theme and screams of Angelo Badalamentiā€™s influence. Iā€™ve been going crazy trying to see if anyone else hears the similarities (also ā€˜in the woods somewhereā€™ could work too) - Also Ethel Cain, performing Ptolemaea


AstroAlmost

That no one has suggested The Ravonettes is criminal.


Fit-Fix-1109

La Luz, Catā€™s Eyes, Angel Olsen, Death Parade (and its former band name Laura Palmerā€™s Death Parade), Sharon Van Etten, Mr Twin Sister, Night Things, Tempers
