Punk band named after notorious UK child killer forced to cancel Newcastle gig

[zwartekat]

Wasn't there someone on here a while ago who used a number of serial killers names as their username? Think it was the same person and just remember being a bit surprised that no-one seemed offended by it.

Viet Cong had to change their name ffs

 

[the veteran]

Would you call a band The Ian Huntley's?

hasn't got the same panachey ring too it...I'm thinking "Bundy time" sounds catchy

And, oddly, became a bit crap when they did so.

The Nestle Mosquitoes aren't popular in Africa iirc.

Kasabian..one of the Manson family.

I thought Kasabian was Armenian for butcher?

Both. Kasabian is Armenian for butcher but one of the Mansun family was/is called Linda Kasabian. She wasn't convicted of anything, as she got immunity for turning state's evidence.

A bit? A lot.

Well, yes, but they're sensitive chaps and probably read this board and weep at the criticism their last couple of albums have received.

 

[errant]

they didnt do much for me, but the brian jonestown massacre was an odd choice of band name i thought...

Well this thread is going to get pulled but before it does we might as well carry on down the serial killer punk band route for a bit longer.

So far I've got -
"Jesus and Mary Ann Cotton Chain"
"Guns and Rose West"

 

[Abu Dhabi Red and White]

We'll be having posters with serial murderer avatars next...

 

[Stubbs ftm]

Dr Shipman and the Stethoscopes

 

[MackemBob]

I didn’t know who she was. I googled her and now I do. I wish I hadn’t.

Right Said Fred West

A band with an offensive name?
This is a first.

At least they've picked an offensive name off the shelf instead of doing the music bit first...
like the Glitterband.

Nearly spat a meatball out when I read that.

Many moons ago there was a local, unsigned, punk band called "Jim Jones and The Kool Aid Kids". Stone Temple Pilots had originally considered using the STP name to stand for Shirley Temple's Pussy
