Just a goofy idea me and my sister joked about whilst I was visiting her. We had a discussion in which we conjured up this comedic sketch that involved the lineup of last years Supersonic festival (link, if you're interested) commenting on some of the wonderfully barmy names come up with for themselves. We wondered what the world would be like if bands and musicians eventually became the thing they named themselves, literally, no matter how subjective or abstract the name. Going by the aforementioned lineup we singled out Gazelle Twin (a concerned talking gazelle asking the audience if they've seen her twin sister/brother) All Ears (a horrible shuddering mass of moaning ears) Woven Skull (a skull made of straw that lashes out and captures audience members by weaving skulls over their heads) and Dirty Electronics (a bunch of kitchen appliances and outdated PCs that ask female audience members what kind of pants they are wearing).
I guess in order to make this a an actual game thread, each player must post a band or lone musician (preferably who goes by an alias, not by their real name) for the next user, who must describe what they have turned into and perhaps even what they would do if they "performed" live. For example if somebody posted Black Sabbath, I could say Black Sabbath were a group of hooded acolytes who relaxed on stage, sitting reading newspapers or having a nice cup of hot beverage, whilst one of the group throws a frisbee to a goat. At the end of the performance one of acolytes explains all this by simply saying "it's Sunday". I hope you get the gist of the thread from me and my sisters utterly insane ramblings... :3
Next band: Darkthrone

Alternatively, just throw out some of your own ideas if you absolutely can't keep them to yourself. I'm not going to make this a dyed-in-the-wool game thread, feel free to participate both aspects of the topic. Here's a few examples I've made up.
P.S. I apologize for my weird choice of bands, I have rather odd tastes in regards to music.

- Animal Collective (a random assortment of animals stampede off the stage, crushing the audience resulting in many deaths and injuries)
- Sleep Party People (a group of somnambulists throw a disastrous beer fueled dance party)
- Skinny Puppy (an emaciated puppy with enormous heart melting eyes gains the audiences trust, then eats them)
- High Wolf (a clumsy and oddly sedate giant wolf "blazes it" on stage)
- The Jesus Loves Heroin Band (Jesus appears in all his immanent majesty, and tosses little bags of scag to the audience)
- Whitehouse (the actual Whitehouse slams into the venue where the bands performance is supposed to take place)
- Minor Threat (a group of ankle-high tough guys appear and attempt to beat up the audience, their efforts cause much merriment)
- AIDS Wolf (too horrifying to contemplate)
P.S. I apologize for my weird choice of bands, I have rather odd tastes in regards to music.
