The Possible Band Names game CONTINUES!!

Guerilla commenter Gary is keeping the Band Names thread alive singlehandedly! What's happened to the rest of you??

In August he offered us an Olympic-themed selection. I particularly liked Undetectable, Baton Handover Disasters, and, of course, The Funking Fuwas. I had been tempted to award first place to Passport Faker, but on further reflection I find Tears For Lolo just irresistible.

His Foreign Band suggestion that month was Dos Cervezas (it wins because it was the only entry, but a worthy suggestion nonetheless), and his Cover Band was the quite brilliant - The Cultured Clash (a string quartet playing classical arrangements of Joe Strummer songs!).

And last month's list included such inspired lunacy as Mescaline Milkshakes and Sultans of Schwing, as well as a few topical references - Last Year's Mascots, Billion Dollar Bailout, and Moose Shooter. However, I choose as the winner - Lost Marbles.

His Foreign Band suggestion last month was Nunc Est Bibendum (a fine motto for this blog!), and his Cover Band...... The Bleached Boys. Love it!

Please, keep 'em coming, Gary. Excellent work!


I may have to hold a poll soon to determine the overall best suggestions so far this year.....
