Top 5 On Friday - Week 208

From Music Memoirs

Top 5 unique band/artist names

Astronauts of Antiquity: A fantastic indie band, a little bit electronic a little bit jazzy and a touch of funky.

The Brilliant Mistakes: Their name was taken from an Elvis Costello song. Props and cookies to them for that! Double props because they sound awesome too.

Donora: A Pittsburgh band that liked the sound of the name of a really sad pathetic little Mon Valley town. They have an interesting 80s sound to them.

Over The Rhine: Over The Rhine is the name of a neighborhood in Cincinnati. For more on how that neighborhood got its name click here.

Yazoo: The name 'Yazoo', according to Moyet, came from the labels of old blues albums: Yazoo Records.
