Geekiest Looking Band- Place Your Nomination
 
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v8.../sealions1.jpg

My current favorite is the Sea Lions. Their 2011 debut album is actually quite good.

BUT, the Feelies should receive a lifetime achievement award for geek chic. The album photo to their 1980 album Crazy Rhythms should be framed and hung in the Museum of Modern Art.

Post your a picture of your favorite geeky band on this thread!

Can we agree that hipster bands don't count? You don't count as "geeky" if you're just a tool following a trend.

Do fictional bands from kinda-sorta bad '80's movies count? If not I've got squat.

Plankton 07-09-2013 11:16 AM

Come on now... the ruling kings of geek are Devo. Everyone knows that.

You shall pay. Oh how you shall pay.

And I think Genesis should definitely take the prize here. Artistic my ass, those were some mother****ing dorks.

What are you going to do about it, leave your Warhammer 40k models on the carpet for me to trod on while I'm walking around barefoot?

theshipsong 07-09-2013 11:31 AM

I agree with Devo, also think They Might Be Giants are pretty geeky looking too.

In my defense I've never played Warhammer in my life, and until a week ago had never even picked a Warhammer novel. I will however leave my Matchbox car collection in front of your bedroom door in the middle of the night.

I have no idea where I got this picture, and it may not be the "Geekiest" looking band, but there's something to be said about a bunch of chicks that look like they might have dicks.

This thread is all about who might be the SECOND geekiest looking band if you ask me. The winner is clear and uncontested IMO

This prize should go without question to They Might Be Giants:

http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:A...ArEdr2R5u2z9AA

Their music is fittingly geeky as well:

I don't think these three are humans. I'm fairly certain they're aliens barely pretending to be humans,

If "geeky" suddenly means "very likely to molest, strangle, and bury you in a shallow grave," then I COMPLETELY agree, these dudes are INCREDIBLY geeky,

Actually... I kinda think these guys are stylish. Is this just me?

LoathsomePete 07-09-2013 03:06 PM

They don't look that bad, and I have all of those instruments within a 4 foot proximity of me and I'm pretty cool so...

Gavin B. 07-09-2013 07:46 PM

This Rod Stewart album cover isn't geeky but don't you think it's pretty creepy?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v8...ORD-340615.jpg

Granted, Pet Sounds is a great album but there's something really geeky about a band posing with a bunch of goats for an album cover.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v8...pet_sounds.jpg

Speaking of pet sounds...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v81/lapeste/dogs.jpg

The original rock and roll geek. He could have been in Devo if he was born 15 years later.

Not sure what the rest of the band look like, but if Bizzy D is anything to go by then SUM41 might be in with a shout.

And I think the guy on the left is the main geek from Freaks and Geeks. So, double-whammy right there.

Male or Female?.... You decide. My mother warned me to stay away from people like this when I was a kid.
