You think so do you?

Funnily enough, this lot, despite being very good musicians never got as much function work as they'd expected.

Bluesy Rockers "Nine Below Zero" were named after the Elvis Costello song and all subscribe to wearing Damart Thermals.

Perversely, none of "Bohemian Like You" songsters the Dandy Warhols like Campbells Soup.

It has been said that hard rockers AC/DC got their name from a rating plate on an electrical appliance (sewing machine/drill/kettle?), but in fact they got the idea for the name while messing about on the river.

I can see what you're angling at.

No really. There will be a tribute song to Josh MacRae on the 2015 world tour, "For those about to mess about on the river (we salute you)."

It's a new week, so there must be a new Supergroup forming, from members of Muse, The Who and The Village People. Naturally will be called Matt the Hoople

Following their split, members of bubblegum pop band The 1910 Fruit Gum Company went on to form The Sweet.

Jazz Fusion Band The Yellowjackets often work the venue car park before the gig. Fans are often confused to see Bassist Jimmy Haslip direct them to a vacant parking bay.

Blimey, that is a coincidence because late 60's / 70s blues rockists Killing floor didn't kill a floor either. It appears to me that there were a lot of groups around that made false claims about their notoriety.

Celtic popsters the Corrs were originally called the Apples. At that time, they all weighed approximately 22 stones each. Their management realised that an image change would be needed in order to advance their career. Hence, the dramatic dieting and weight loss.
