One of my favorites! Chilliwack!  ;D

The Dead Milkmen  The same day I heard of them, the guy I had driving my milk truck got pinned between the truck and milkhouse and was crushed.  Never found a soft spot in my heart for that group.

My band opened for them back in '89 or '90, and they were just as weird as their name.  Harmless, but weird - and that's coming from a guy that had a two foot blue Mohawk back then, LOL.

If you're refering to these guys, the time would be about right.  I think Joe was killed in '88-89.

Butthole Surfers ;D

Ha! That's a great name! I always smile when I see that one.

I've never seen (or heard) the band itself so this is heresay, I understand there was once a band called "Minstrel Cycles." No kiddin'!

Joe Generra released an album last year, and AFAIK is still alive.  Dave Schulthise committed suicide in 2004.  Metaphysical Graffiti wasn't released until '89, and they toured non stop after that album was a hit.

EDIT: look what I just found: http://www.deadmilkmen.com/dmffa/viewtopic.php?t=5250.  New Milkmen album!  LOL.

Oops, I meant my truck driver Joe was killed in 88-89.  Thanks for short bio though.  Always wondered how far these guys went.

Goatwhore and A**l C**t are two very strange band names.

Oh Jeez!  

Sorry to hear that.  That was a long time ago, for me.....  Funny how things change.  Funny how they stay the same.

I heard "Punk Rock Girl" on the radio a few weeks ago, and laughed.

I like both of those bands.  A.C. are were crazy

The Jonass Brothers

I could go through my collection which spans about 40 years and come up with about 200 names but 2 that jump out at me are The Dead Kennedys and ChumbaWumba. (neither of which I own).

Maybe obscure names get obscure bands noticed.

"Papyrus Containing the Spell to Preserve its Possesor Against Attacks from He Who is in the Water" by Nile

Its a good song but the name is a five-paragraph essay lol

There was a Christian Rock Band when I was back in high school that made the news because of their name, "Failed Abortion".  

Always made me wonder
