Pretty damn good tribute band, too!

The ladies were better. But that Rasta/Hard rock beat was very, very good!!

The Austin show was at the old Liberty Lunch not long after DZ first
appeared; the show emphasized the lead singer's (Tortelvis) Elvis
schtick and the comic aspect of a novelty act. The Santa Fe show was
at the old Club West and was straight forward rasta reggae covers of
Led Zep tunes. While different, the shows were both a hoot and a half.
Missed out on Lez Zep. Regards,
J.R.
Used by several reasonably unknown pub bands around the world.

I saw Nashville Pussy once right before the "Say Something Nasty" album came out. They completely blew away the crowd. A full bore Rock And Roll show. i cracked up the first time I saw their name. I love how it references a quote from Ted Nugent's album "Double live Gonzo".

Hey, you got the female band right this time, though. Even posers get
lucky, I suppose.

...Courtney Love's "Hole".
Don't leave out Killer Pussy their album Bikini Wax has some great tunes.

Steely Dan is the only one of those bands that I like. What's wrong with their name?
The rest they sort of named themselves after whatever they can think of, with which didn't set well with the critics or even with their fans....
1. If you're heard their music on the radio you'd know that B.C.'s The New Pornographers are as inoffensive as they come, but that didn't stop them from being kicked off a bill to play at a Michigan college in 2010 because of their name. (QMI Agency/Ernest Doroszuk)
2. The Butthole Surfers' name was initially a song title, but the story goes that an announcer at a show called them that after forgetting their name, and it stuck. (Wikimedia Commons)
3. Classic political punk band the Dead Kennedys needs to be on this list. Hasn't that poor family been through enough? (Wikimedia Commons)
4. Artsy alt rock band ...And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead have definitely ruffled some feathers, though I think the needlessly long name part is more irksome. (Wikimedia Commons)
5. Nashville Pussy -- what is there to say? (Jenny Feniak/QMI Agency)
6. Post-rock geniuses Explosions in the Sky were met with controversy in Boise, Idaho, last year when they were billed to play a show on September 11. (Wikimedia Commons)
7. Between their logo and the name, it's easy to see why Bad Religion has offended some. (ERROL MCGIHON/QMI AGENCY)
8. The name Porno for Pyros, the band which rose from the ashes of Jane's Addiction, has reportedly been connected to the L.A. riots and a fireworks ad in a porn magazine. (Handout)
9. What Fred Durst was thinking, we'll never know, but Limp Bizkit can refer both to a flaccid penis and a game where men ejaculate onto a biscuit, according to Urban Dictionary. (WENN.com)
10. Seminal punks The Circle Jerks, however, made the original 'limp biscuit' reference. (Handout)
11. It's an uphill battle being in a band with the F-word in the title. Just ask Toronto's F-- Up, Holy F--- or Ottawa's F-- the Facts. (Wikimedia Commons)
12. Remember 1997's swing revival hit "Zoot Suit Riot"? The Cherry Poppin' Daddies win the award for sleaziest band name ever. (Wikimedia Commons)
13. Not for the faint of heart, Canada's own Barenaked Ladies. (Handout)
14. Probably the most reviled well-known band name is Anal C--, but they get points for consistency because their material is similar in tone. (Wikimedia Commons)
15. Steely Dan has confirmed the band was named after a vibrator in William Burroughs' Naked Lunch. (Mark O'Neill/QMI Agency)
16. Toronto hardcore punk band Cancer Bats'name sounds like it was supplied by the anti-tobacco lobby, but they were thinking more along literal lines (i.e., a bat that gives you cancer). Apparently some people think it's a baseball-based cancer charity.
17. To the disappointment of mothers everywhere, The Killers were named after the logo on the bass drum of a fake band in the video for new Order's "Crystal," according to Rolling Stone. (Handout)
18. Post-punk pioneers Joy Division got their name from the Nazis sex slavery of Jewish women in concentration camps as depicted in the novella House of Dolls. (QMI Agency files)
19. Marilyn Manson and the earlier members of his band got their stage names by taking the first name of a glamour icon and the last of a serial killer. (DB/WENN.com

Yeah, as though that name would get you far in (rather left) Toronto. Wearing "wife-beaters" doesn't help. :)
I've never heard Anal C--- called Anal C before, didn't even recognize the shortened form...
I could pull out just about any UK 70s punk compilation LP (incl. Stiff ones) and see a bunch of band names whose sole purpose was to be offensive for their one-song stab at immor(t)ality.

It's the sort of book that can be read only at random.
J.R.
otoh, is beyond tough.
"Naked Lunch" is just plain tripe. Anyhow, Burroughs was a most disgusting twat, murdered his wife in Mexico in cold blood. Yeah, he was aiming for the apple, righto!
But that's not saying much other than some of it is barely palatable.
No book "needs" to be a random read; any book can be read straight
through, like, as you say, "Ulysses." I find "Tristram Shandy" and
"Finnegan's Wake" more rewarding when I just pick them up and start
reading wherever I open them. For one thing, they're never finished
and I always have something to look forward to, like I've been reading
FW for over 20 years: it has the same theme as Milton's "Paradise
Lost" you know, though more informed by Catholic fantasy than Calvanistic
certainty. This place could sure use a front and center book forum.
Regards,
J.R.
Wikipedia must have missed that definition.
