Friday night is "band names that you just wouldn't get these days" night

[Fnaar]

[or maybe it's just an excuse to post this, from the Gaylads. Please feel free to have a different Friday music night, I shan't be on later, much.

Jeez - it's Friday! I spent the day so far thinking that it is Thursday ... (I normally go to get my fruit 'n veg from the local market on Thursdays but the stallholders are busy sunning themselves on their long, hot winter holiday so I didn't bother.)

Dodgy names ... Er, how about the Black and White Minstrels? (My parents used to inflict them on me when I was a boy!)

 

[threebikesmcginty]

How about Toss O'Flannery and the W@nk Frenzies, you wouldn't get that these days.
Mind you I did make that one up as I can't think of anything.

 

[Beebo]

Here's a dodgy band!

 

[inkd]

This is a current Punk/Noise band

 

[palinurus]

A cover, but then I did just get paid today so it's appropriate. Better get down the Stop 'n Shop and get some beer.

 

[palinurus]

It's disappointing but there doesn't seem to be anything by Mr Anus and Horribly Charred Infant on YouTube.

I give you:

Tonto's Expanding Head Band

[TVC]

Leicester's second finest band, and the often misspelled:

Gaye Bykers on Acid

 

[TVC]

Or for a name that would never get past the record company marketing department:

We've Got a Fuzzbox and We're Gonna Use It.

 

[palinurus]

How about this

Pretty good, they wouldn't get a gig at my local (more's the pity). But I do think perhaps that a consortium of bands should invest some serious money into an R&D project to develop new offensive band names, I think I've become jaded. Definitely some new, far swearier, swear words need to be developed. Then daffodil and fark will seem like damn and blast.

 

[brucers]

Wild Woman of Wonga (and I've seen them live!)

 

[vernon]

And not forgetting

Penguin Cafe Orchestra

 

[thegravestoneman]

Walnut & the w#nkers, saw them many times down the 100 club, played Peter and the testtube babies cast off songs.
