Inspired by an indelible by an indelible image of horror, (From here: https://letstalkguild.com/ltg/index.php?threads/keep-those-fretboards-clean.221655/#post-2156517 :

Fred and Joey, 2 nerds from Urbana Ohio, decided to form their high school's first techno-grunge band,
Indelible Sludge. Their first single, "50 Gallons of Gorgomyte" went viral and was quickly followed up with "Scotchbrite".

Fred and Joey are music teachers at Urbana High now, home of the Gophers, state field hockey champs.

Those Scots bands were almost as gloomy as the ones from Seattle.

Once I was in a band and the lead guitarist had the humorous idea to call a band "Free Beer" to get attention on marquees and ads for the show.

Tonight only!!
FREE BEER
That, along w/ similar marquee inspired things like"No Cover" or "Naked Women" are some of the longest running band name gags in the touring band business. It's been done to death. Usually by local hobbiest bands that are limited to a 15-20 mile radius. ;)

Our band "Special Guest" opened for a lot of big names in the 70's. :D

We had a harder time booking our later big band, "Bad Food and Warm, Flat Beer."

And by golly there really was a "Bare Naked Ladies". NOW the truth comes out.

A bunch of laid off (read: disgruntled) Tesla employees went to Youtube after 5 rehearsals as Elon and the EeeVees.

Following old school tradition a "single" was released: "Charge You Up All Night Long" b/w "Downtime at Power Station X"

A cover of Procol Harum's "Power Failure" is anticipated. Until then, permit me to veer with a reference to the original:


(Yes that's a young Trower foreshadowing later glories. Magnificent precision and discipline. My favorite period of his, actually. :cool: )
