+348 It would be clever to name a band "Free Beer" because everyone would show up to their gigs after seeing signs that say "Free Beer Tommorrow @ 9pm". amirite?

Itd be better if they did a show with shit particles so it'd be "free beer with shit particles tommorow!"

They'd probably be annoyed when they found out though.

Um. The Barenaked Ladies were originally called Free Beer?

I thought they just used the name Barenaked Ladies for the same reason..

I've heard it from friends' parents who were like original fans. Also (not saying this is a completely believable source), http://musicforemotion.com/40-real-band-names-before-they-were-famous/

Huh, interesting. If it's true, I wouldn't be surprised; given their current name, it sounds like something they would do.

I remember my dad telling me a story about a band that did that in my hometown. Apparently, a riot almost started.
