I’m still low key irked that there was a dutch jazz trio out there with the name I originally wanted to use instead of Veins Full of Static.
Their bandcamp has since mysteriously disappeared since but there are currently 3 ambient/drone acts on there under that name so it’s probably for the best I didn’t use it
Was thinking Battle/Battles really. It’s not the most irksome, it was just one that reminded me of my controversial opinion!
Like when Laura Marling and some guy started using LUMP with all caps which I’d been using for years on bandcamp!
Hopefully some people are mystified why their early demos are so shit
Bandmate of mine was in a band with a name that has since been used a bazillion times. It always tickles me to note that some of the wrong (and more listened to) band material is incorrectly attributed on Spotify; I don’t know if that means they get the money too? Seems like a reasonable name-tax if so!
I was a bit miffed when I realised that Divorce weren’t the great noisey Divorce ones from Glasgow.
But on the other hand, I’m all for it if we get lovely stories like this.
Just lovely sounding people who didn’t let a simple mistake ruin their night.
What a lovely story! People should go to the wrong gigs more imo!
Last FM pages used to be good for this
Heavenly
Also Heavenly
I once used audacity to make an absolutely cursed “mash up” of the two bands.
Divorce were class
as far as I’m aware, no-one else has ever used worriedaboutsatan as their band name - seems I had my SEO game down back in 2006! although there’s a drum n bass act called Worried About Henry, which is slightly irritating, as they keep popping up everytime I search for me anywhere
This one always brings a tear to my eye…even more so these days:
My solo moniker is good to go, but a duo project (space rock/slowcore) has the same name as a 1950s vocal group who had no online trail and now keep having tracks dropped into oldies compilations, which creates some very misleading streaming statistics.
Smokers Outside The Hospital Door is an amazing song too.
Editors in general are quite underrated I think - not sure why they get left out of the conversation with Bloc Party, Interpol etc
Easily better than both of those bands.
Their most recent album is really good—more electronic than their noughties stuff but I like it a lot.
That’s the one with Blanck Mass right? Yeah it’s really good.
Appreciate that they are getting less mellow as they age
suffer
guess it’s alright
Kneecap are appalling and that film wasn’t very good either
