One holiday down, we return to our normally scheduled blog plan. Out of an abundance of choices, these five rose to the top:
John Paul and the Apostles
Spreading the rock and roll gospel! This puts a nice Biblical twist on the classic X and the Y structure. It also reminds me that I'm still waiting for Pope George Ringo.
Slums of Utopia
There's a whole dystopian novel contained in these three words. And they're playing their first show tonight!
Urine Idiot
This is so punk. Sometimes low humor is exactly what you need.
Weird-ons
This word collision makes a sexual reference that is more hilarious than sexy. Also very punk.
Wizard Police
I didn't know nerdhop was even a thing, but I love it when I can grab the first band in the first show in the week's listings. What kind of fantasy author would I be if I didn't honor a wizard reference? It makes perfect sense that wizard crime would require a special force.
Naming a band is an act of concentrated creative expression. Square Pig in a Round Hole exists to reward five favorite band names each week. Winners are listed alphabetically. Selection is wholly unscientific and subject to whim, with a bias toward wordplay, humor, and local flavor. In most cases, I won't know anything about the bands at the time of selection. Thanks to the Seattle Times club listings for abundant source material!
