The best worst real band names of SXSW 2012

rocketsandrayguns:

It’s an annual tradition.

  • Bubble Puppy
  • Chet Faker
  • Dark Dark Dark
  • E.D.Sedgwick
  • Fungi Girls
  • Gay Witch Abortion
  • Hoodie Allen
  • Idle Warship
  • Lana Del Rey
  • Mord Fustang
  • Motopony
  • Not In The Face!!
  • Owen
  • Sleepy Vikings
  • suck piggy
  • Talking To Turtles
  • Trampled by Turtles
  • Uncle Bad Touch

Uncle Bad Touch FTW.

Apropos of nothing, what would be a sweetass name for a Patti Smith cover band? My top picks are:

Go Rimbaud

Just Kids (though I think there’s already a band called that, and they’re probably playing their droney shoegaze laptop rock at SXSW)

Free Money

Gimme Mick (which is a Candy Slice song, but I am of the opinion that Candy Slice was just as awesome as Patti Smith)

    Man two turtle names? We’ve fallen pretty far from the wolves and horses of indie yesteryear.
