Episode 124 - Bands Named After Places


Listen Later

How many bands are named after places? A freakin’ crapload, that’s how many! Join the MagHuge crew as we explore the strange phenomenon of musical acts who can’t think of anything interesting to call themselves so they just pick a random place and run with it - like Chicago, Kansas, Asia, or Berlin. Think globally, name locally, that’s our motto for today. From streets and cities, to states and nations, all the way to continents, planets, galaxies and beyond, no place is safe! Plus, a bonus minisode is included wherein we try to dissect the weirdest film series ever made - Disney’s Herbie the Love Bug. It’s a real gas, man!
