Name This Band Name This Band: Hipsters with Weapons Edition

Posted by Ezra Ace Caraeff on Tue, Aug 31, 2010 at 1:20 PM

The citizens of Blogtown did an incredible job with last week's edition of Name This Band. Poor Doobie Brothers, they never saw it coming. We expect more great things for this unnamed band:

name_this_band2.jpg

Is it okay to hate a band on sight without ever having heard their music? It is? Okay, great.

Best comment wins a handful of Laurelhurst tickets and the respect of your Blogtown neighbors.

Of Montreal is from Athens, GA, part of the Elephant Six collective that spawned many weird, oft-punned band names e.g. Neutral Milk Hotel & Apples in Stereo.
