Bands that are not from the places thats in....... - Progressive Rock Music Forum

The members of Harlem River Drive did, in fact, have a close association to the Manhattan road that ran along the west banks of the Harlem River--part of which had formerly been a Speedway.

Hatfield was, in fact, related to The North. All of it.

Hécénia definitely sounds like it should be a place. Apparently they collected and, perhaps, wrote scrolls.

The Hidria Spacefolk are a group of executives from one of the world's leading automotive and industrial technologies corporations, based in Ljubljana, Slovakia, who were inspired to start jamming together after they encountered a particular local band while on holiday in a Finnish resort town one year (1995). (The local band was Kingston Wall.)

The Hindustani Jazz Sextet did, in fact, regularly camp out in the borderlands of Kashmir (northern India) and southern Pakistan during their twice-daily meditations and psy-travels in 1966. Their "peace-keeping missions" were later sublimated into their challenging forms of East-West jazz musics which used very odd time signatures like "two-thirds/four" time (11/8).

The Far East Family Band were actually from the far east: they're from Japan.

Fen is actually from the Fens, in East Anglia, England--one very particular fen.

Fields of the Nephilim do tend to hang out in the Hertforshire farm fields around Stevenage--where they are rumored to commune with Biblical characters.

The Fifth Dimension definitely came from another dimension--we're just not sure how to prove which one.

Finisterre are from Genova, Italia, not the Galician Cape.

The British Prog Folk band Fotheringay are rumored to have been incarcerated in the dungeon of Fotheringay Castle for the past 50 years.

The Future Kings of England can be from wherever they want to be, so long as it's not Saxe-Coburg.

I don't think Caspian have any connection to the Sea of the same name.

Chicago (and Chicago Transit Authority, their original name) were from Chicago.

Children in Paradise are probably not from Paradise otherwise we would all know them because we'd be traveling to their home town/country for vacations.

I don't think Cirrus Bay is a real place (except for in descriptions from observers from space shuttles in the 1990s).

Colosseum were not from the Colosseum … perhaps another, lesser colosseum.

Cucamonga are not from Rancho Cucamonga, CA, USA, they're from Argentina.

Blue Nile were not even from the same continent as their moniker.

Bombay Groovy are from São Paolo.

Boston was from Cambridge (MIT), a Boston suburb.

Were the Buckinghams from Buckinghamshire (or Palace)?

Turkish immigrants in France... Group based in France.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Bands named after dates or ages in history, like the reneisence period do not count.

How could i forget about this one??.......Hanoi Rocks are from Finland.

Russian Circles are from California, if they count.

The Trans-Siberian Orchestra is not from Siberia.

Silent Island are from Hungary, if that counts, and Hungary is landlocked - what's funny is that their imagery is all about the sea.

1914 was not formed in 1914, if that counts.

Arctic Monkeys are not from the arctic, if they count.
