i fell in with a bunch of latchico chancers belting out pogues tunes all over England about 3 years ago going by the name 'The Dead Rabbits' after the Irish emmigrant gang from Scorceses, Gangs Of New York movie
here we be: http://www.thedeadrabbits.com/index.html
we recieved the ultimate compliment on the name choice when Spider Stacey got in touch and said how he loved the name and the fact that we even existed, he even tipped up at a London gig and gave us all backdoor passes for the 04 Brixton gig.
Once spotted an ad over here for a band playing...
Paddy Goes To Holyhead! :)
Tribute band The Stranglers-- The Throttlers
and poor taste band name, once rejected this one for a band I was in
BUSTER HYMEN AND THE PENETRATORS
The Red Stripes? Tenacious E...
Moby - ********:eek:
Lets put a bit of Irish into it.....
MacSabbath :D
How bout an Irish Muse tribute band called...
... Nights On Cidona!
Boom b.. OK I'm going!
:cool: Brilliant!Quote:

Funnily enough but actually true I've been thinking of a name for a tribute for them since quite a while, as the theme was brought up on the Bunnymen.com forum. Easy ones would be "Happy Dead Men", "The Yo-Yo Men" or "the Tourquouise Days" but those are so evident they almost lack originality.
These Charming Men are superb, been to two shows of them already and each time it's fun fun fun!
The Police - Na GardaiQuote:

Brilliant. I'll look forward to your world tour.
Unfortunately my 'Mediocre Alex Harvey Band' project never got off the ground.
How about a novelty punk band of midgets where all the band members have red hair - "Stiff Little Gingers" ?
Or a novelty punk band comprising of dogs - "The Rex Pistols"?
Or a gay grunge band - "Queervana"?
Our world tour can visit Waterford if you've any pull or contacts in the venues down there.Quote:

A Country and Western, novelty indie tribute band - "Rodeo heads"
........I'll give it a rest now. Apologies. :o
Nor my one, The Sh!t Pistols. :mad:Quote:

seek and ye shall find. I seriously don't want to contravene any rules on plugging things I have a material interest in. In fact I seem to recall giving both barrells to some Sligo chap doing that with a girl-band a while back.:)Quote:
