Even the band aren't particularly fond of it. They basically borrowed it from another group that didn't need it any longer, were stuck with it, and when they were looking at merchandising noticed the initials weren't going to look great on a t-shirt.

I'm either in agreement or ambivalent to that list...but Pussy Galore? That's one of the best names ever - rude, and referencing a top 5 Bond woman (but that's a whole other debate*)





*No debate at all. Number one is Diana Rigg, obviously.

This thread wouldn't exist on a facebook group fan ding dong post post post where did the thread go again page, would it? But you know that and I know that ;)

back on topic though - or actually against the topic but who cares it's not like anyone else is even reading this - can we all agree that Bilge Pump is the best band name ever?
And I asked, "Are you dreaming about a crow?"
And there she was....

It's certainly up there Cath. My personal favourite, and possibly a thread in it's own right regarding tribute band names, is local Bon Jovi tribute act By Jovi.

or just for pomfob Fallen Women who i am told are a live karaoke band who play Fall song with audience members singing...

Good to see I have been consistent in my citing of the almighty Bilge Pump.
And I asked, "Are you dreaming about a crow?"
