further sidetrack- that band Joanna Gruesome bugs/mystifies me... is there any other example of a band with a name that's a pun on a contemporary artist?

Mingus Ah-Um
Mingus Dynasty

Mingus loved to put his surname in his album titles.

austinato (Austin), Thursday, 5 November 2015 17:23 (eight years ago) link

Mingus album names aren't puns tho, are they?

It's pretty sweet when both of your names can be used to make corny puns

can think of a LOT of worse covers that could have had, a la Tip of the Weisberg. and much grosser titles were available to roy head. bravo to both of them for their restraint.

Off the top of my head, Joanna Newsome & the Ys Street Band.

:wq (Leee), Tuesday, 24 November 2015 18:24 (eight years ago) link

that was just the title of an EP and it was a pun on the artist's own name. i mean a separate band with a name that's a pun on a separate contemporary artist
