Subject: More Band names
Here are some actually bands that you've never heard of because they never
got out of the basement stage.
A friend of mine from Bell Labs formed "Ma Bell and the touchtones". This was
a splinter group from the "Every other Wednesday evening musical society.
I, now a DEC employee, am in a band call the DECadents.

There's a band up here in Boston called Control-U. Kinda cute in a 1984 way. Hmm, other favorite names: Big Fat Pet Clams from Outer Space Human Sexual Response Noys R Us Circle Jerks Nervous Eaters Soft White Underbelly Barry and the Remains Average White Band When the Grateful Dead was in Egypt, they jokingly called themselves the Baksheesh Rhythm Devils. (Baksheesh is the words for tip/bribe money, in return for services great and small, common in the region.) The Uncle Floyd Show had lots of band spoofs: Bruce Stringbean, Abbot Presley, Neil Yuck, Legalmania, Pot Roast... Great satires. The Who, Yes, and the Rolling Stones are fun names, but we're so used to them. Andy Tannenbaum Masscomp Inc Westford MA (617) 692-6200 x274
