Bartman,

Glad to hear Knee Deep Shag is still around.

Other names:

Better than Ezra. Another Baton Rouge band. They way I heard it: They were once Ezra, but a band member died. When they replaced him, they figured that they were 'Better than Ezra'!

Actually when you come down to it, MOST band names are weird.

Kajagoogoo

Duke Tomato & the All-Star Frogs !

These are some suggested band names that came up when our band was talking about a name change. These are not real bands to my knowledge:

Delicious Pickle
Viet Conga and the Ho-Chi-Men
Tina Turner Overdrive
Kathleen Turner Overdrive
Free Beer
Pabst Blue Robot

Mother Love Bone
Stained
Orgy
Soggy Bottom Boys (Saw the movie last night.)

Interesting side note: A few years ago the "Family Values Tour" came to Lafayette, LA. The tour featured Orgy, Limp Bizkit, Stained, and several other bands. Some idiot took his/her kids to the concert and was shocked that it didn't promote family values. This person complained to their city councilman and the council passed a "truth in advertising" law for concerts. It was a big deal in the local news. My thought is if you are going to take your kids to a concert and one of the bands is named Orgy, you might want to find out more about it. Maybe I'm just crazy like that.

Don't forget "The Pogue Mahones," an Irish band. They were forced to change their name to "The Pogues" when it was found out that pogue mahone was Gaeilc for kiss my arse
