The Ongoing History of New Music Episode 719: Pseudonym Bands
Every once in a while you’ll run across an author who releases a novel under a different name. Stephen King comes to mind with this Richard Bachman novels. Bands have been known to do something similar. It’s not that common, but it does happen.
For example, do you know the real identity behind The Nappies, Dukes of Stratosphear, Foxboro Hot Tubs and 1000 Homo DJs? And then there’s the goofiness that is The Network. Who are they trying to fool?
On this week’s show, we’ll get to the truth behind these fake identities.
The Ongoing History of New Music can be heard on the following stations:
- 102.1 The Edge/Toronto – Sunday night at 7, Monday night at 11 with archives show Tuesday and Wednesday at midnight.
- Live 88-5/Ottawa
- 107.5 Dave-FM/Kitchener
- FM96/London – Sunday night at 7, Monday night at 11
- The Drive/Kingston

- 92X/Calgary
- Sonic 102.9/Edmonton

And if things go well, the show will soon be heard on a few other stations. I’m also looking for outlets in Vancouver, Kamloops, Kelowna, Red Deer, Grand Prairie, Regina, Saskatoon, Brandon, Windsor, Montreal, Charlottetown, Moncton, Fredericton, and St John’s and anywhere else with a transmitter. Anyone? Anyone want to start a campaign?
