A band from Strasbourg (France) is named "Enregistré par Steve Albini".
Here is their website: http://stevealbini.free.fr/epsa.html

This is a weird way to get known. What do you think?

I don't know if Steve has actually recorded them or if he even knows about their band. They're starting to have a little buzz in France. I haven't listened to the music though.

It's right up there with Bare Naked Ladies, Hoobastank, and Buckethead on the 'dumb band names' list. I have a feeling a sack full of weed was emptied prior to committing to that name (all names listed, probably).

I`d be embarrased if someone use of my name like that,because it is so silly.
It`s not the better way to pay a tribute to Steve.
It would be better if they just try to make good music instead.It would propably please Steve much more ,I belive.

Yeah, that one is on the list, too... but was even worse when it was 'The Coctail Twins' for thse first few shows. Ugh...

BadComrade wrote:Twins? You guys started as a duo, or what?

Not twins or a duo.... just silly art students hungry for a pun.

sounds too much like technicanavecapocalyptica

shit, i've just been listening to these guys for the last 5 minutes, not crap, like a free jazz meets punk rock.

whatever, the name still blows goats.

Indeed.....but never trust a French buzz my friend.
