bounder chairman of the board Rank: Ozzy	Bands named after parts of Brum posted on: 11/22/2005 1:30:32 PM Are there many? From posters I see around the toilet circuit there are at least two; Needless Alley, and Curzon Circle. Any more for any more? Album/song titles too, I can only think of the marvelous lilac time's 'Paradise Circus'. 'Electric Avenue' doesn't count, unless someone can prove that Eddy Grant did write it about the road down by the Villa Leisure Cente.

rotunda pants villa, but nice with it Rank: Ozzy	Bands named after parts of Brum replied on: 11/23/2005 7:27:52 AM Eddy Grant is from Birmingham, so he's probably aware of Electric Avenue in Aston. There is also a French rock group called 'Aston Villa', which is probably part of a cultural exchange because we have a group called 'St. Etienne'. Other artists named after areas of Brum: Veruca Saltley; Gary Newtown; Digbeth Orton; Kim Wylde Green; Gypsy Kingstanding.

KingoftheHeath Rank: Jasper	Bands named after parts of Brum replied on: 11/23/2005 10:55:32 AM Rotunda have been gagged? After all these years of supporting Birmingham punk (since the mid-80's) and being vocal supporters of The Ejected (candidates for 'worst album sleeve of all time')? Never right... There is a band called Hall Drive named after a road in Marston Green...very much a 'local' band...

EDIT: Doesn't seem to be any problem with the name here, either.

NO PLEASE HELP ME!	Bands named after parts of Brum replied on: 11/24/2005 1:21:06 PM The electric avenue in eddy grants song is in brixton
truecat	Bands named after parts of Brum replied on: 11/24/2005 4:56:53 PM Then there's Bentley Rhythmn Ace, stretching the boundaries a bit, but still West Midlands. (Bentley is in Walsall I think)
KingoftheHeath Rank: Jasper	Bands named after parts of Brum replied on: 11/25/2005 7:16:31 AM Bentley Rhythm Ace is a cunning one...as it not only references a local(ish) area but is also the name of a (rather rubbish) early drum machine...and the initials spell the word BRA (ho ho ho)...
