The Utterly Chaste
Energy Crisis
Criminal Blasphemy
A punk band.
The Coconut Crabs
A short-lived jazz fusion/surf rock band started by a group of 40-something Zappa enthusiasts in the late 90s.
The Very Famous People
a misnomer
The Rogue Nuns
All-girl rap group with occasional over-the-top religious symbolism in their lyrics. Like Lady Sovereign but there’s four of them, they are more annoying and more ostentatious.
Cary Grant Driving Drunk
This is the cover of their first album:
The Chumps
A Slumps cover band, naturally.
Composed of several young men who would have come together for a brief period in the late 90s to play the music of that forgotten post-punk group, before going their separate ways. One of them would get heavily into the Chiptune scene in the late 2000s, and named his shortlived endeavor along those lines “Chip Chump.”
The Slumps
could be a late punk band, starting in the early to mid 80s; the earnest anger of the Sex Pistols et al through a slim, perhaps Devo-ish veneer of irony… later in their career their instrumental digressions would grow psychedelic and tedious, and they would be drift into obscurity.
