Reminds me of my girlfriend's favorite band at Columbia in the 80's - "The Special Guests". They eventually had to change their name because people kept showing up expecting, I don't know, Billy Joel or Beastie Boys, and got mad.

The opposite problem of the name the band settles on in the movie PCU.

"Tonight, at The Pit: 'Everyone Gets Laid'."

I once got a club night for an event called "Sold Out" and while I could see what the organisers were trying to do with that - give the idea it was popular - I could also see what a mind-blowingly terrible name it actually was, giving the impression of a) being "sold out" so not worth trying to get a ticket for, and b) being a "sell out" which is not the impression any brand trying to be cool should give.

A friend was booked to DJ there and apparently it was not sold out, it was barely attended at all, to my complete lack of surprise :D

On that note, it's somewhat remarkable that The Band managed to find success under that moniker.

Anyong
