It's kinda cute. My cousin has a (now in her thirties) kid named Meg, and called her Megabug when she was a little one. And of course we haven't let either one of them live that down.

"Roxy Music" is perfect for them and their sound.
I remember going to a friends' family's Christmas get-together one evening. Everyone was getting pissed and doing Playstation karaoke. It was mine and the patriarch's turn to do a song together, so we picked "Love Is The Drug". The Dad's big lunk of a son, 30 going on 17, goes up to him: "Dad! Dad! What you gonna sing?". Dad tells him: "I think we're going to go for some Roxy Music". Son: "What the fuck is that?"

Unfortunately to anyone in the UK, a bog is another word for a lavatory. It's even worse in Australia though where it apparently means 'the act or an instance of defecating'.

He suffers from Andrew Hill syndrome I mentioned upthead, a colorless name and no jazz nickname or diminutive to enliven.
― Citole Country (bendy), Monday, 30 August 2021 01:33 (two years ago) link
Especially since Andrew Hill was on the more out/avant side of the spectrum! So much so that a certain poster who will remain, um, unnamed was probably a big fan thereof.

In that last one where she sings "ever, ever" at 2:50, I keep hearing "Rhiannon, Rhiannon". Has the right voice for it too!

Played all three clips, and I don't hate 'em, but the name gives me a "trying too hard emo band" vibe.

Just finished listening to the new King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, whose name I hate tremendously, but it's a really good album.
Yeah I've heard good things about this band as well but there is no way I'm ever listening to them with a name like that.

^ Same - I eventually started listening and liked Bitchen Bajas quite a bit. But since then, whenever shuffle shuffles up that name, I still intuitively hit skip.
― bendy, Monday, 7 March 2022 19:25 (two years ago) link
I still agree with this post:
Frippertronics / Alice etc is totes my wheelhouse but can't, won't, on principle, listen to a band that can't come up with a better name for themselves than Bitchin Bajas. Sorry. What if I choke to death on a cookie and this is the last thing they find on my turntable?

Bitchin' Bajas sounds like the name of the house band at Cabo Wabo, and that has a lead singer whose signature hand gesture is not devil horns but "hang loose."
