Pink Freud would be a good coverband name, especially if manned by all pyschiatrist (or psych grad students).

Ditto “Forever Jung” as a Rod Stewart tribute band.

We wanted a name that reflected a sense of difficulty or trouble, single syllables, and used D and S.

We called ourselvesDeep Shit

Not clever as such but surely worth a mention.

For some reason, my mind tried to read that as Anal Gazpacho. :eek:

I was part of a saxophone sextet that played the music of the once popular Six Brown Brothers, called (of course) the Six Brown Others.

Obligatory Simpsons reference: the marquee in Las Vegas for Moody Blues cover band “The Satin Knights”, featuring as an opening act…The Moody Blues.

Shania Twin

Led Zepagain

Came in here to mention this one. I didn’t “get” the name until I said it aloud–then I had a good laugh.

Gotta say that it’s really something to hear “Big Balls” sung in bluegrass style! :smiley:

NPR had a story today about a Stones cover band called “Sticky Fingers”. I think they mentioned a band called “Dixie Chicklets”.

/was kinda half-listening at work.

There IS one called Pink Fraud. But I still think Anderson Council is the Pict of the crop.
