The Killers on Later
Posted by Crowdedmouse on 5 November 2008 - 2:26pm.
Just watched last night's show and for the the first time I saw The Killers. They look and sound about as dangerous as a limping snail.
Any other cases of bands whose name doesn't quite match up to their
delivery?

I can think of one who does
James Blunt
The Cure
As much as I like them, they've always suggested more illness than cure to me.
10 000 Maniacs
made nice, pretty music. and there was only 5 of em. I also never saw the Cowboy Junkies shootin' up at a rodeo.
The Ben Folds Five...
...were a total rip-off. I almost asked for my money back
Blur
I had to spend 90 minutes at the bar drinking furiously before they lost focus.
Thompson Twins
There were three of them
wasn't one
conjoined?
Occasionally, I expect
Since Tom Bailey and Alannah Currie were/are married! A-hurrr.
No longer married
Alannah Currie has moved back to the UK is married to Jimmy Cauty of KLF fame and makes money as an upholsterer making furniture out of roadkill!

Indie!
Tom & Alannah have a child called Indie! Wonder if her Word-reading mates call her 'Landfill' when they want to provoke her?
I feel like I have really learned something today
Thank you. Now I want to be sick...don't look at her website. Just don't.
Fine young cannibals
I avoided all dinner invitations until I realised
The Stranglers
Moody, menacing, stroppy, but probably don't do what it says on the tin...
The Bare Naked Ladies
The New Pornographers
The Flaming Lips
Revolting Cocks
...eh, that one holds up actually
That's how they got their name ...
... getting thrown out of a bar as the barmaid shouted out that description of them. It stuck.
Joy Division
weren't particularly joyful
The Red Hot Chilli Peppers
were neither red, hot, chillis or peppers
YES
Well to some people
NO
Echo and the Bunnymen
not a Hef nor a rabbit in sight even Echo chucked it before the first album
Gay Bikers On Acid
Guilty on all three I suspect
Didn't GBOA play some gigs...
...under the moniker 'Lesbian Dopeheads On Mopeds'?
yep
this is true
well...
they were actually Gaye Bykers, I saw them live a couple of times and I'd say chemical alteration was in effect
AC/DC
may be but lyrically and image-wise, I suspect probably aren't.
The Handsome Family
Only half right.
Super Furry Animals
Not furry or animals, and definitely not super.
Bucks Fizz. Not a drink.
The Bees. Not bees.
Ash. Still very much in human form as far as I can tell.
We could go on forever.
If you ask me,
Boyzone is really pushing it these days don't ya think?
"We could go on forever"
... and why not?
Alice in Chains - all male, metalwork... perhaps
The Sisters Of Mercy - see above
Twisted Sister - need I?
Type O Negative - can we get a blood test?
The Darling Buds - Ahem
Spiritualized - prove it
Fields of the Nephilim - neither fallen angels nor countryside
Throbbing Gris.... (that's enough - Ed.)
