I personally think this is a fantastic idea. Especially if you just play their material, and maybe even don some wigs/strapon bellys/etc.

Bomb Disneyland had to change their name to Bomb Everything. Jesus they turned shit after that. I saw them after their name change and didn't recognise them or realise it was them on stage.I thought they were a shit support act.

That Nick Lowe album (EP?) "Bowi" was so called as a joke about the Bowie album "Low."
