Green Squirral and the Rag Time Bubble Blowers
You've just had a heavy session of electro-shock theray and you're more relaxed then you've been in weeks. All those childhood tramas magically wiped away along with most of your personality.

No you didn't. Brummie Biker Rock, very early 80's. Obese singer. Scary looking bass player (as I recall, I saw them play in a pub once, 83ish) and an album called "Bestiality".  Only real media break: a session for BBC's Friday Rock Show, with Tommy Vance (oh the memories!)

The Dukes Of Stratospheare (XTC's alter ego)

Principle Edwards Magik Theatre. (folk prog, should be on these pages but isn't.)

Sensayuma. (say it outloud)

Chumba Wumba

Fred Zeppelin

Dread Zeppelin

Warm Dust (wierd proto-prog, also missing from these pages)

Good god Raggy - you've just bought back some serious memories - the band you're describing there (scary bass guitarist/obese vocalist) isn't Dumpy's Rusty Nuts, but a Brummie band called The Handsome Beasts - and I have the album......... They were a superb pub rock band with a very strange sense of humour, I must've seen them 4/5 times.

Dumpy's Rusty Nuts were, again, an excellent pub blues/rock band in the early '80s & they're still thrashing around the biker circuit (now just called Dumpy's)..

Ah, the memories

Even more embarrasing, Peter - I'm frooging my way around the house at the moment (thought I'd do some of this stuff from home, as opposed to sneaking in the odd missive between threatening major companies at work).

Now, were's that black shirt & medallion?????

In NYC, we have always had a huge "underground" movement, and some of the names are priceless.  Some you've heard of, most you haven't.  no one has mentioned "Dead Kennedys" yet.

However, of all the band names (including Butthole Surfers, and Elvis Hitler, both of whom I've seen...), my favorite of all time is:

Abraham's Foreskin.

Peace.
