Band Names

[Kenneth]

Im bored.
There have been some absolutely dreadful names in Caithness band history....

But who has best name in Caithness??

Quite frankly I like Weekend Wars the best!!

[buddyrich]

My two faves are Casket Garden and You, Me and a Drum Machine. Two great ensembles that i sadly didnt get to see live.

[guitarzan]

Good post.

My favourite has to be from the heady days of Wick High School and we had "Starbuck & The Jaffa Cakes" playing at a few Battle Of The Bands.

Genius!

[zebedy]

VoodooQueen FTW

[Mystical Potato Head]

No Love For Frank. Best Thurso High band EVER! I'm slightly biased though....

[Chobbersjnr]

Stenching Mr. Stanley.......

[Metalattakk]

Stenching Mr. Stanley.......

Quickly followed by "Biscuits Are Lovely".


(Wonder where Huw Roberts is these days... )

[Tubthumper]

Whatever happened to 'Dramstein'?

[Chobbersjnr]

Quickly followed by "Biscuits Are Lovely".


(Wonder where Huw Roberts is these days... )

goodness B.A.L totally forgot about that. As for Mr. Roberts.................pass

I remember a couple of Wick bands must have been late 80s early 90s "The Whole Hog" & "Nervous Pork"

[Chobbersjnr]

another name that cracked me up was "Shanty Moses"

[Tubthumper]

Stenching Mr. Stanley.......
Where's Robbie Pye (Pie?) these days?

Thurso still, I believe

[buddyrich]

I think Metal Attakk is no a bad name actually. The Gunslinger might have thought of it but my germanic twist on the spelling was pretty neat.


Remember the gig in mackays hotel? The stage was swimming with spilled drinks. What a waste. Good fun though. Then back to Thurso in time for the Gunslingers wife to catch him out on the cctv.

[Kenneth]

Who were You, Me and A Drum Machine? Quite like that name!

[buddyrich]

The Pepsichallenge can take all the credit as far as i can mind.

[The Pepsi Challenge]

I'm sure Stuart MacGregor's band was often referred to as: Me, You, and a Fag Machine. Myself and John Miller take credit for coming up with Stenching Mr. Stanley, but what about the Massey Ferguson & The Barnyard Oddities? I still think AC/DC Thomson is a great name.

Metalman - I spotted your old Discrep' pals (Custer, Morris, Taylor, and Gower anyway) on Facebook. At least I saw pix of a jam they were having. No pink Washburn in sight, and who can forget Megadave? Ah, nostalgia.

[buddyrich]

Aye i noticed that there's been almost a total reformation of Discrepency, except minus The Gunslinger and He who shall not be named. Surely the time is right for megadeth covers, white massive-tongued sneakers and dedicating "this next song to the memory of cliff burton."

[Metalattakk]

Nah, that was nothing to do with Discrepancy, that was a brief reformation of 'Never Again', a short-lived yet interesting endeavour by the lads, notable for their strange brave idea of 'writing their own songs'. :eek:

They played a gig in Wick once, at a 'battle of the bands' type thing in the Norseman, of all places. I remember an incident in the Newmarket too, involving a fumbled plectrum right before the solo in 'Every Rose Has It's Thorn'.

Ah, times they are a-changed, all right.

[Olin]

Either Shanty Moses or Mini-cab Ride!

Mini-cab ride was a school band and was an anagram of the legendary teacher Iain Mcbride!

I don't really like band names named after songs for some reason!

Weekend wars is good but its a pain in the ar*e searchin for them on youtube! lol

[Chobbersjnr]

anyone remember an early 90s THS band called "Craig's Wooly Jumper"

[the_big_mac]

anyone remember an early 90s THS band called "Craig's Wooly Jumper"

No, who was that??

Casket Gardern was a brilliant band name.

[buddyrich]

You were the drummer for Casket Garden aye?

Im sure paul's mother was proud, watching from behind the bar.

Yeah, that gig was quite somthing!

Got the name from a dismember song.

[Invisible]

Im thinking simple, I think the best band name is 'Colin'

[Bazeye]

That awful folk duo, Norfolk and Goode.
