It's "Random Shit My Friendslist Knows" time!

Name me some "and the" bands. I already have "K.C. and the Sunshine Band", "Big Brother and the Holding Company", "Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention", etc. Stuff like "Diana Ross and the Supremes" is good too, but the weirder the better!

Robyn Hitchcock and the Egyptians

I would say "Attractions" and "Gimme Gimmes" are pretty awesomely weird as compared to things like the Shirelles, the Supremes, the Pips, etc.

Ian Dury and the Blockheads
Eddie and the Hotrods
Grand Master Flash and the Furious Five
Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers (although just "The Modern Lovers" is more colloquial, but I'm not sure if "Johnathan Richman and the Modern Lovers contains any of the regular Modern Lovers other han Johnathan Richman himself)

I'm just gonna keep thinking of more, sadly.

I'm guessing you lived in or near Chicago in the early nineties?
