Name This Band Name This Band: Bad Photoshop Edition
Posted by Ezra Ace Caraeff on Fri, Aug 12, 2011 at 1:44 PM
I feel bad posting this since these guys aren't exactly a well-known act. Besides, it's probably not a good idea to anger a band so dangerous that they are forced—by the law—to stand behind that totally-not-Photoshopped police tape.
Oh well, have at it.

I was totally going to make a "visit from Aunt Flo" joke until I realized that the dude was holding an axe. And why are they in Dexter Morgan's room? Have at it.

We are in total awe of how great you commenters have been with these weekly Name This Band posts. But are you ready for this band? I hope not.
If this picture wasn't enough, here is a MP3 of the band covering Rihanna's "Umbrella." It's worse than you could ever have imagined...
LISTEN (IF YOU DARE):
The best comment by Thursday at noon will either win tickets to Marina & the Diamonds at the Doug Fir on September 14th, or a few passes to the Laurelhurst Theater. Go get 'em.

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:
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.
