Jah Womble is of course a pun on Jah Wobble.

I am a blend of Armstrong and Sacha.

[3 Colours Red]

This lot:



Still never heard them, like I've never seen the Kieślowski film.

[Stumpy Pepys]

[3 Colours Red]

I hope you don't do a lot of gardening.

[Jah Womble]

Jah Womble is of course a pun on Jah Wobble.

My real name is identical to that of one of the key collaborators of electronic musician Luke Vibert (Wagon Christ). I've many times been asked whether I'm 'him'.

Some of these might need captioning though, guys.

[3 Colours Red]

Some of these might need captioning though, guys.

I think they're all based on our OTF names other than FIGS, judging from a reverse image search of the guy in the pink hoodie.

[Jah Womble]

Well, yours and Stumpy's I knew without having to click, obviously - but if the hoodie guy was ever in Orange Juice, then I missed that...

[3 Colours Red]

I think it's a rapper who shares his real name (I don't want to dox FIGS so I won't say).

[Nocturnal Submission]

This lot:

I think I've recommended Sixty Mile Smile before, haven't I:

[Nocturnal Submission]

[Patrick Thistle]

There is a very obscure musician with pretty much the same name as me. Someone gave me one of his CDs as a gag gift once

[Felicity, I guess so]

Yeah, I was reflecting the 'real name' musicians I've had bizarre emails about in the past ("Are you the...?")

I don't mind people knowing my name, WOM did a thread a few years ago of books with our names on

There used to be Google hits for a gay porn actor, which tickled some students of my acqaintance. But he seems to have, er, ceased firing

[3 Colours Red]

Yeah, I didn't want to make that decision for you.

Nocturnal Submission Maybe I need to listen to some more - it's the kind of thing I should like, there's bits I can pick out where it reminds me of all those post-grunge bands I like, then there's something like post-Richey Manics or Spacehog or Get Ready-era New Order but it's just not quite clicking for me, I'm sorry.

[elguapo4]

Having checked online, there appears to have been two musical acts and one album called Elguapo.

Ha! His mum is/was a teacher, is/wasn’t she?

Ben, on the right, is a mate of mine. We played a couple of gigs together as he was our guitarist’s brother and filled in for our bassist’s temporary absence. He was also in The Senseless Things who we played loads of gigs with. I always think that he is interesting as we always craved major label signing but 3CR and Senseless Things were both on major labels and toured loads (3CR in arenas with Aerosmith). However, Ben has almost always worked and never made a great deal from those days. Lovely bloke whose birthday it was yesterday

[Hot Pepsi]

Because it's a Simpsons reference, I'd be surprised if there is not a band somewhere in the world called Hot Pepsi. Perhaps a Fallout Boy tribute band.

[Satchmo Distel]

Ha! His mum is/was a teacher, is/wasn’t she?

Yes, she's still alive and actually contributes to his radio broadcasts.
