Okay, so everyone -- everyone -- mentions the countless number of band names containing words like Wolf, Crystal, Dogs, or Black. Well, what about bands named after movie stars? Or bands named after cars? Let's see: movie star names include Natalie Portman's Shaved Head, Mr. T Experience, Kathleen Turner Overdrive, and Jodie Foster's Army -- car names include Galaxie 500, REO Speedwagon, The Cadillacs, The Rivierras, Chevelle, and probably one hundred more surf rock bands.
Well, if you haven't already, add Abe Vigoda and Talbot Tagora to those lists. Abe released the Reviver EP earlier this year, while Talbot are set to release Lessons in the Woods or a City July 21 on Hardly Art (TMT News), and what do you know: these two groups will be hitting the road, most likely in a van and not in an actual Talbot Tagora and definitely not with the real Abe Vigoda. Nonetheless, you should still go see them if you are lucky enough to have them coming near you.
