Astral Social Club is named after an old working man's club in Leeds.
The supergroup that is Cunt got their name from a rare Louis-Ferndinand Celine short story, called , "L'Heur des Cons" (The Hour of the Cunts).

Kraftwerk is German for ''Power Plant'' and they've chosen it for its ''electrical'' qualities.

Hijokaidan apparently translates as "Emergency Staircase".
Ramleh got their name from an ancient Crusades battle in Palestine. Loop got their name from a John Cale flexidisc, which was released pre-Velvets.

I hateto be a prick about these things, but I thought it was a reference to the sordid entertainers in apartheid-era SA? I also wanted to nit-pick about the Velvet Underground being a fetish magazine; the book concerned with VU was Venus in Furs by Sacher-Masoch. I claim my wanker points and will gladly be leaving now.

Oh, I posted about reading a fantastic story about that book on The Velvet Underground thread a while ago, but I'll do it again because I like this thread a lot:
One night Lou Reed was about to go onstage and the girl working in the box office booth at the entrance of the venue told him: ''Nice name there, my dad wrote the book that you took it from''. Small world. |

Yes, yes I was. And do you know what I was doing? Drinking in my chalet when they were on.

Ah man, you missed a great set. Mind you, you should take comfort in the fact that I fucked my arm up later on that evening. I tell ya, me and stairs are a deadly combination, especially after several pints of the good stuff.

Beastie Boys - They just wanted a name with two words that both started with the letter 'B'. It was supposed to be an homage to Bad Brains.
Boris - After the Melvins song. Misfits - After a movie. Radiohead - After the Talking Heads song I think. Also, I think I too have heard that Black Flag was named (at least in part) after the insect spray. |
