St. Louis Band Names Sweep Twitter

Eleven Magazine, a St. Louis music monthly, started the latest local Twitter trend: band names that could only happen in St. Louis. Here are our favorites:

• Notorious B.I.G.B.E.N.D., @SaintLouisTEN
• Straight Outta Compton Heights (highly ironic NWA cover group), @elevenmag
• 2 Live Krewson, @rjkoscielniak
• Oingo Boeingo, @Dumesday
• Brian Imo, @themindofskank
• The Drewes @reverendfitty
• Rally Squirrel Nut Zippers, @jpjernigan
• 314 Inch Nails, @Following Dwater
• Someone Still Loves You Mark McGwire, @GoldSoundzRadio

And the winner: Mayor Slayer, @Caron.

It’s creative, but it’s the winner because Mayor Francis Slay (@MayorSlay) added to the online convo, “Already the name of an ARRG skater/lawyer.”
