Name This Band: Creepy Old Dude Edition

Posted by Ezra Ace Caraeff on Tue, Aug 24, 2010 at 8:34 AM

Since the citizens of Blogtown did such an incredible job with the "Name the Next Neutral Uke Hotel" contest, we decided to seek your input in re-naming this (once famous) band.

Its rare that the man in sleeveless denim and long hair is the least creepy member of a band.
  • It's rare that the man in sleeveless denim and long hair is the least creepy member of a band.

Have at it. The best comment wins a pair of Laurelhurst passes or a mystery box of items I steal from my coworkers unattended cubicles.

Much like everything we have ever done, we stole this from the Stranger.

Un Doobie. Damn, they look less like the Doobie Brothers and more like some of the people wanting blumpkins at Baconfest (next to the skateboard people).

Alternate choice: 'Gina Hole. These guys are known for their song that goes "I'm talking about vagina hole/whoa ho/whoa oh, 'gina hole".
