I was genuinely surprised yesterday to hear, courtesy of my friend Bryan, that my dorky little side business, FakeBandShirts.com, had been mentioned by the ridiculously awesome pop-culture blogger Whitney Matheson at USA Today (“Real Shirts, Fake Bands“).

Thanks, Whitney, for the shout-out.

Thanks, Bryan, for calling it to my attention.

Thanks, Justin, for coming up with the “Canine Doubletake” name, like, more than a decade ago, and for letting me make a shirt of it.

Thanks to all the emailers suddenly showing up with ideas for new fake band names.

Wanna know more about the concept? Read this. Or this.

Have your own idea for a Fake Band Name? You missed the official jasonboyett.com contest, but feel free to submit them in the comments. Just for kicks.
