Hysterectomy Soup
… see what kind of reaction you get with this one…
Problem is that your band wouldn’t show up on film.
An actual band from about 10 years ago was Urge Overkill.
I always liked the sound of that weird juxtaposition of words.
That JFKFC logo is genius. Sheer genius.
Would be even more offensive/better if half the head was missing, though.
**Three Mile Island ** was the name of a highschool band several kids I knew formed. Always thought that band name ruled.
They were all life-long school-band or chorus members who had been taking advanced music theory courses together. They wrote pretty good original stuff in addition to being a great cover band.
There were four guys, Alan played guitar and sung, Chris sung, played guitar, and the keyboard, Matt played guitar, bass and drums, and Kevin sung, played bass, and keyboard. They would alternate who played what depending on the song, but most songs were played with the classic 2 guitars (Alan and Chris), 1 bass (Kevin), and drums (Matt).
Incidentally, Chris did excellent impersonations of the lead singer of Blur and Gorillaz (Dave Albarne?), as well as the lead singer of The Clash (don’t recall his name at all?)
I’d like to name a band Oblivion Newton-John, but I don’t know if I’d ever be in a band silly enough to merit a name like that. So any of you are free to use it.
My friend’s band’s name is Weapons of Mass Seduction. Go see them if you’re in Ottawa!
Sorry for the double post, but I forgot to mention that a friend of mine used to use JFKFC as his IRC nick, but he had never heard of the band until someone saw his nick and mentioned it to him!
In the mid-80s we took a class trip to Harrisburg (state cap. & the TMI reactors are just outside of town) and there were a lot of fliers around for a local punk band called Toxic Snot, who unsurprsingly had a lot of songs about TMI itself. I know this because they listed all of the song titles on their cassette on the fliers!
There were really two Clash vocalists, Mick Jones and the unintelligible Joe Strummer, who is the more likely target of impersonation.
Onward Crispen Glover plays periodically in Lawrence, though I’ve never seen them. I’ll have to check them out next time they’re through and tell them of the buzz surrounding their name.
Damon Albarn, and Joe Strummer, respectively.
As for band names, there was a cool local band (in New Brunswick, CA) called Flippin’ Husky.
Onward Crispin Glover is brilliant, but I have to nominate:
Jif and the Choosy Mothers
Holy crap! I did a PseudoRadio interview with those guys a few years ago. Some of the funniest guys you’ll ever meet in person (and a good band, too). We were crying laughing and doing our best not to fuck up his show.
I just thought of a good one:
Rub Al Stewart. I’ll be here all week: try the cat.
Anastasaeon and Crandolph , thanks for the correct vocalist names. As for which Clash vocalist, it was whichever one sung Rock the Casbah, Know your rights, etc.
Yeah, I live in Chester County, PA, Crandolph , so that probably had to do with their choice of band name.
Now that I think about, I’m not entirely sure which instruments each of them could play. I know what each of them usually played, and I remember that each of the guys knew more than one instrument, but looking back at my post (God I wish this forum had an edit-post function, you know, like every other MB on the net ), it doesn’t seem right somehow. Not that you guys really care or anything… :rolleyes:
Excuse my rambling.
The Radioactive Cretins.
Mom’s Good Scissors.
The Busiest Bankruptcy Lawyers in Minnesota.
I once heard a country band called the Winona Ryders. More timely would be Jesus Ultrasound.
In Statesboro, GA in the late 80’s I saw a flyer for a band called Pastor of Muppets. Gee, I wonder if they did any Metallica covers…
Bithlo? Mmmm. How are you familiar with Bithlo… in Honduras Flander?
Just curious.
:smack: Oops! Sorry Flander, it should read Furt :smack:
