Some of those aren't very obscure. Bell Witch is good, I'm from Seattle so they've gotten some late Saturday night radio play.
Angel Thomas
I didn't bother combing through it but you are correct, not claiming Do Make Say Think or Primus is obscure
Levi Parker
also Bell Witch is fucking awesome I agree. have you seen them live?

zeitkratzer / Svetlana Spajic / Dragana Tomić / Obrad Milić - Serbian War Songs >Slavic folk with noise and industrial backing it
No, I probably should. Never been to a doom metal show before.

They're very mellow affairs, people generally stand around and respect each other's space and are polite and sit there in introverted bubbles and get lost in the music.
My only warning is that it might be louder than you are accustomed to depending on your experiences
Charles Ward
Oh, I know earplugs are usually a good idea, especially in smaller venues.
