Name Bands With Names That Are Just One Word Repeated Three Times

Posted by on Tue, May 17, 2011 at 9:36 AM

Over the past few years, the most annoying band-naming trend was surely taking one word and repeating it twice. Now the ante is upping to three times. Just Saw Long Long Long (from Halifax). I know I've seen others cropping up lately, but I can't remember them at the moment. Quick, someone do it four times and you'll be ahead of the curve for a minute.

Shout Out Out Out Out? That 'shout' might disqualify them though.

Polka Dot Dot Dot sorta fits, unless you call them Polka Ellipses.

And And And was the fake wedding band in The Commitments, but now there's a real one (from PDX, where else?): http://www.myspace.com/andandandmusic

Beatles Beatles Beatles is starting to sound like a really good band name right about now . . .

And And And is a great band. Just won Willamette Week's best new band in Portland poll.

Also, I think Com Truise is a great name.
