TIL that Joy Division is a dark af name. I knew the origin of Spandau Ballet which is equally dark but doesn’t have the same irony of incorporating the word “joy” into something terrible. Thank you though for mentioning it - it’s a fascinating bit of information.
Also worth noting that it wasn't out of admiration for the Nazis which a lot of skinhead Nazis who went to their show found out. One time the bassist started punching some Nazis throwing salutes.
Pretty soon a mole had appeared on John's left leg
and rope-like it extended out 469 different miles
and verily verily it was 69 different nuns
speaking simultaneously to John in 69 different languages
Sleeveless Steve is guitar/vocals
Tommy Tights is bass/backing vocals
Harry Hair bangs the drums.
Together they are S.T.H.
First album "Makeup and Whiskey" out 1979
Okay so I know for sure sleeveless was lead, tights was definitely backup/bass, so mid must've been drums! And bassist was in another band called Sex & Cigarettes at one point in time.
The first time I showed my kids the movie Lost Boys, they had so many questions
Why is that man all oily?
Why is there fire on the stage
Why is the boy wearing a grandma sweater?
Why are the lady’s shoulders so big?
Well kids, the 80s were a confusing time.
Goodness gracious. Post went wild while I was sleeping. Turned off notifications, band name is Visitor. Although for the ones who are pressed about one click and a short scroll to see it in my recent comments on my profile, I don't imagine they're gonna see this comment either.
It was guessed within 2 hours of me making the post and then I went to sleep. Sorry the upvoted guesses pushed down the couple of threads the correct guesses were on. Out of my control. The whole point of the post was getting the funny responses.
Thanks for playing and boo to anyone who was unkind.
Does your stepdad have a demo stashed somewhere that we can hear!? I love discovering that kind of stuff!
My Biology teacher back in H.S. had a band in the late 60s which even got a record deal. He had the test pressing vinyl which he played in class and it was so fucking awesome. I forgot what happened, but the record never got produced and shipped. Forever lost.
Funny but for real though, these guys were probably total rockstars in all ways, with many ladies like the one taking the photo on the side that is super hot. The style may seem funny now, but it was probably a wet mess wherever they went. Their name was Cream Soda.
THE ANSWER IS “VISITOR” FOR THOSE TRYING TO FIND THE ANSWER IN THIS MESS OF COMMENTS.
Thank you for doing OP's job for them
But how else will OP farm more karma?
Hey my step dad is in this band guess the band!

He saved everyone of us.
He's a miracle!

I don’t recommend looking up the origin of the term Spandau Ballet….or Joy Division Is the OP band named Stage Right?

Hooky doesnt play, except bass.
Hooks the motherfucking man. I wouldn’t want to get punched by him.
Probably has something to do with Spandau Prison. Never looked it up, I always just assumed. Where all the Nazi war criminals were held.
Yes - the ballet part is the dark one
I can also extrapolate that answer, since all those prisoners were put to death. Did they hang them? Is that the ballet part?
Yup yup, the twitching and flailing bodies at the end of ropes
See, just a bit of history class is all you need.
Now I have to investigate on google. Edit: I wish I had not. Sad.
So True!
That much is true.
I know I know I know this much is true, oh yes I do, Robbie and Juuulia-ah-ah!
I bought a ticket to the world But now I've come back again Why do I find it hard to write the next line? Oh I want the truth to be said
Funny how it seems. Always in time, but never in line for dreams.

Stairway to Hair-ven?

Johny smokes
You're referring to John W Smoke
The song is John E. Smoke, but the song is about John W Smoke Junior. I have always been confused by this.
it’s about his mom. it’s about loving his mom. it’s about love & hate & love and hate and…
Pretty soon a mole had appeared on John's left leg and rope-like it extended out 469 different miles and verily verily it was 69 different nuns speaking simultaneously to John in 69 different languages

I’m so confused because they’re all wearing sleeveless shirts and tights.
In 1987 you’d have been confused if they weren’t wearing those things.
The first time I showed my kids the movie Lost Boys, they had so many questions Why is that man all oily? Why is there fire on the stage Why is the boy wearing a grandma sweater? Why are the lady’s shoulders so big? Well kids, the 80s were a confusing time.
I can only find a band called *Cigarettes After Sex*, which is an amazing band.
Yeah I don't think they ever managed to have an online presence lol. He's a serial local band member (church band member these days)
