Eagles of Death Metal

and in his absence, she (Lee626), Thursday, 30 October 2014 13:48 (nine years ago) link

I can't really take anybody seriously who does this.

Also can't believe Trashcan Sinatras haven't been mentioned yet.

is Trashcan Sinatras a pun that I'm missing? don't think invoking a major 20th-c cultural icon is equivalent to Joanna Gruesome or whoever

well-behaved wingmen really hate Mystery (DJ Mencap), Thursday, 30 October 2014 14:40 (nine years ago) link

Yeah, I was just gonna say I actually kinda like that juxtaposition. TS's wiki says it's just two words they put together after an early practice banging on trashcans. It's a better name than The Dandy Warhols anyway, imo.

Not sure where Henry Cow comes from since I think they disavowed Henry Cowell

A bit like how Modest Mouse didn't come from Modest Mussorgsky?

In more happy news, Chet Faker has dropped that moniker and started performing under his own name, Nick Murphy.
