My dad was once in a battle of the bands against Rigor Mortis and the Standstills. It is, in my opinion and yours, the greatest band name in the history of music. In other cleverly named band news, it’s that time of year when Harry Potter hits the big screens and Harry and the Potters hit the…um mp3 players…or something.
Harry and the Potters is a band that plays songs about Harry Potter (no doy) and tend to sell out gigs at the library (but have they played at the opening of a Curves for Women fitness center? I think not. You still got ‘em beat there, dad!).
Lest you think this is some kind of gentle entertainment for throngs of pre-teens, let me assure you that Harry and the Potters is completely genuine and is one of (according to wikipedia) 600 bands to have spawned the genre known as “wizard rock.” Wikipedia also informs me that there is a new wizard rock documentary with the swoonfully clever title: The Wizard Rockumentary: A Movie About Rocking and Rowling.
The delightful gigposters.com, aside from being consistently inspirational, has some fantastic posters designed for various Harry and the Potters shows.
