how did band of horses end up in the post-anco thread

I just got sent an EP which is (a) a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles-based conceptual work and (b) on a cartridge for the 'Zhiliton' which was apparently a Super Nintendo pirate machine only available in Lithuania in the early 90s.
can any of your readers beat this?

Could have sworn I saw a band called Com Truise opening for Neon Indian.

Saw these at a recent art show. Actually kinda cool.

discussed upthread. Com Truise is actually pretty good though.
― dmr, Tuesday, 16 August 2011 15:27 (twelve years ago) link
the hannah-barbera reference is not 80s ephemera so much as general 'vintage' nostalgia, seems more like a 90s band name than anything
and yeah, com truise has grown on me lately (still much prefer ford + lopatin tho)

ah, reptar
would totally smash dude on our right, but their music is pretty much like foster the people 2.1

The thought if three grown men agreeing to name their band "Reptar" makes me sick to my fucking stomach

like if the bandmembers referred to themselves as reptards, and their music as reptarded, i think it would be funny

File under "indefensible."
BUT ARE THEY CHILLWAVE?
Apparently they're on tour with Foster The People.
― Badmotorfinger Debate Club (MFB), Saturday, 20 August 2011 06:55 (twelve years ago) link
I am currently listening to their music.
It's like...if you thought Foster The People were "the absolute worst" YOU WERE WRONG
And they spend an entire song/career proving that point.

lately it's come to my attention that there are DJs around here calling themselves Uncle Jesse and AC Slater. maybe DJ names are a whole different category from dumb band names though.
― some dude, Wednesday, July 21, 2010 9:45 AM (1 year ago) Bookmark
maybe whiney is referring to some other band though -- it wouldn't surprise me if more than one person thought calling yourself "ac slater" was a good idea
― wes2gully (some dude), Thursday, 29 September 2011 18:09 (twelve years ago) link
I'm pretty sure there's at least two DJs called that, one of em is Drop The Lime's buddy iirc

Speaking of AC Slater, there's a bay area band called Kapowski.

i keep reading AC Slater as AC Temple and getting very confused
there was a passable brit indie band from five years ago called Kapowski too.

Ha, my first band were called Kif. In 2001. For one gig. Before we got a less shit name.

Tracks 'Stealing From Salvation Army', 'Time Traveling High School Dropout', and 'Stuck in '93' fill out the picture of a band thoroughly at home with its atavistic pop culture swagger. The latter song is a sustained shout out to the gutter gastro-entertainment junk of the Nineties: Full House, the Olsen twins, Doritos (in fact, the indecency of the artificially-flavored chip is a recurring trope throughout Thrashin), Crystal Pepsi, Sega – one is unsure whether to fall into a nostalgic swoon or shudder in revulsion. That's probably as intended: Total Slacker take a special pleasure in rubbing our noses in the paltry excess of pop culture's past.

i was thinking people need to be a little less obvious & at least be on some parker lewis can't lose shit or something, but since these kids are all like 20 they wouldn't know what that was.

Full House was a shitty, unfunny show and anyone holding that up as something to be nostalgic for is seriously suspect.
