We supported them in Nottingham earlier this year - they were lovely! We chatted to them for ages... I'd initially written them off as a cheap titillation band, but despite being very skimpy in dress, they're decent musicians - and have a horrendous gig schedule!

Return to Sender - Elvis

Prawn to be Wild - Steppenwolf

Think it's a triple flicky thing, Mr. Wooten does that sort of thing too...

Deeper Shade of Sole - Urban Dance Squad

Natty Dread - U-Roy

Christmas Time (Don't let the Bell End) - The Darkness

Poker Face - Lady Gaga

Rave On! - Buddy Holly

We did a couple of live streaming gigs just after lockdown using drums I'd programmed from EZ drummer. I recorded mp3s of the track with cymbal count-ins onto my phone and played that direct into the monitoring. Worked fine, though sound was a touch muffled - duff sound engineering by me I expect! Here's a bit, just before our proggypunk widdlefest!

Not Genesis... You can see it in his eyes! 😄

It's usually a given from the names... But then you get other bands like Screaming Headless Torsos muddying the mix... So perhaps a descriptive to add to the name would be useful, so we'd get Cattle Decapitation Death Metal/Borderline Djent Band, Priest Crippler plays Black.Death Metal and The Municipal Waste Death Metal Beat Combo. And of course, The Screaming Headless Torsos Who Knows What It Is But It's Just A Bit Jazzy And Microtonal Sextet.

Good thing my band is called The Sh!t band then!

Featuring @mamayo of this parish, IIRC!

Ooh ah, just a little Tebbit - Gina G

Me too! They're barely even Fakin' The Funk!

I think you can get away with it more in blues band... You won't often see Evil Ernie's Rock Band, or Punky Joe's None-More-Punky Punk band.

I'm in love with Margaret Thatcher - The Not Sensibles

Benn - Michael Jackson

speak for yourself

I think that unless they're very lucky many musicians find that if they want to be a musician they need to be on benefits in order to eat!

But only if you pronounce it the English way!

Truss in me - jungle Book soundtrack

Fog on the Heseltine - Lindisfarne

Beer Prudence - Siouxsie and the Banshees
