Inane band name game
Posted by lordlichfield on 18 January 2010 - 5:56pm.
I'm sure there's been something similar up here before but anyway, as it's Blue Monday, and people may be looking for pointless diversions, the premise of the game is, once upon a time Suede were going to be called London Suede when they toured America to avoid confusion with another band there...
So, with that in mind, I give you:
Turkish Dee-Lite
Paris Texas
The Russian Steps
Anyone care to add?

Some excellent
Some excellent additions.
However, if I were being really pedantic, I would suggest that under the original premise you take a band name, eg Dee-Lite, Texas or Steps, and add a place name in front of it, as in London Suede.
So, strictly speaking, unless there's a band called Kitt, then Merthyr Kitt doesn't qualify. Similarly, unless there's a band called Foxes, then Fleet St Foxes doesn't either.
On the other hand maybe there is a band called Foxes, and in fact Fleet Foxes are really from a service station in Hampshire, and not Beardsville Arizona, at all.
