Rock Plaza Central's Top Five...

By Local Cut

Band Names That Are Worse Than Ours

We get a little flak for our band name—that it's not terribly accurate, and more often than not people misremember it as "Rock Central Plaza." But at least we don't have to worry about getting sued someday over it. Here are five names that are worse:

Sgt Dunbar and the Hobo Banned
Friends of ours from Albany, N.Y. Misery, apparently, enjoys company.

TBA or FREE DRINKS
It's amazing how unoriginal this can be, over and over again.

GZA
You know, we always thought it was pronounced with a hard G, like "gorilla", and only recently found out otherwise. Not a band name, technically, but a performing moniker.

100,000 Leagues Under My Nutsack
So bad it slingshots around the sun and is brilliant again.

Neil Young
Dude has a couple hits with Buffalo Springfield (great name) and grows an ego.

SEE IT: Rock Plaza Central plays Mississippi Studios on Wednesday. 8 pm. $10. 21+.
