 Topic: wierd names
Posted: April 05 2004 at 08:23 |
a recent bit of humourus byplay between Peter Rideout and myself had me thinking("AN HISTORIC MOMENT" I HEAR YOU ALL SAY)...What are some of the wierdest band names you can think of?...It deos not have to be ProgRock it can be any genre.For instance does anyone remember "THROBBING GRISTLE" an English band of the seventies or how about "THE BONZO DOG DOODAH BAND" it can be local bands,for instance in my home town in the seventies there was a local band called "FALCON HELL" (Think about it!) what about foreign language bands with really strange english translations? what can you come up with

I've heard of some strange bands but these have to be the weirdest band names (i've heard of) by far:
Biff Hitler and the Violent Mood Swings, Albino Toilet Boys, The Band Formerly Known As Sausageand Hitler's Bikini. I haven't heard anyof there music but i imagine its pretty stupid.

Yeah, TTH is great. "Courage" is sooo good. I've really got to hunt some more of their stuff down. I had Fully Completely, but I lost it in a divorce settlement.

 Inspired by Buddy Holly and the Crickets (& incorporating the "beat" pun). Lennon was a huge Holly fan. Quote: "If rock and roll had another name, it would be Buddy Holly."

Are you saying that they are beatnicks? perhaps that was the 'beat' they wished to pun.
