Artists names minus a letter
These things only occur to you when your brain’s in neutral, I suspect, but: aren’t there a lot of artists with names that change completely if you subtract a letter?
Nine Inch Nils — miniature Scandinavian
Pet Shop Boy — offbeat superhero? Pervert? You decide.
Depeche Mod — narrow trousers, rides Lambretta, always late for something
The Wo — default response to any surprise is to recoil slightly with hands spread wide
Jeff Buckle — a simple lad from down the village
Bra Sucks — the original riot grrls. First to burn lingerie at 60s women’s lib rally.
Have I exhausted the genre? Did it deserve to exist in the first place?
