David Thomas of Pere Ubu
Dave Thomas of Bob and Doug McKenzie
Dave Thomas of Wendy's

Both Godz ('60s NYC garage-psych, '70s Ohio biker-metal) were pretty great, too.

And I used to have an album by the '60s North Carolina garage punk Nomads, not just the '80s+ Swedish garage punk Nomads.

New Flesh (UK hip-hoppers) and The New Flesh (Baltimore noiserockers)

Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde (the rappers)
Jekyll & Hyde (the jumpstyle producers)

Did anyone say the Amboy Dukes yet?

Oh yeah, and there's a single by a band in Australia called "The Velvet Underground", apparently both bands got influenced to the point of naming their bands by the same paperback book.

Donna Summer (Donna Summer) and Donna Summer (Jason Forrest)

There must be a few fans of Death and Death around. I'm a big fan of the death metal band, haven't heard enough of the hardcore band to make a judgment.

The Primitives (US garage rock)
The Primitives (UK mod)
The Primitives (UK indiepop)

Riot Squad (UK mod)
Riot Squad (UK punk)
Riot Squad (South African punk)

I'm sure I must have one with 4. I have LOADS of punk stuff with conflicting names - Discharge, Disorder, Blitz, Conflict etc

There's even 2 bands called Chaos UK.

the horrors (US garage rockers, paul cary's old band) and the horrors (admirable post punk UK knockoffs) are what first came to mind

War (the funk band)
War (the metal band)
War (the other metal band)

I like two bands called Air and two dudes named Mitch Mitchell.

Felt and Felt

Death (punk band) and Death (death metal band)

The Monks ('60s and '80s)
The Godz
Hot Chocolate (the famous one and the '70s American funk band)
MC5, Television, Third World War all had a Fred Smith

Is there a 3rd Death or are you all talking about the black trio from Detroit that may or may not have influenced the Bad Brains, in which case I think they were very pre-punk weren't they. Great anyway.

Have always loved Leprosy by the other bunch. Not that familiar with other lps by them.

New Order as post Joy Division and Australia/Detroit rock band.

NWOBHM Quartz and French disco Quartz

'70s L.A. glam The Quick and '80s Brit-soul The Quick

'80s pigfuck Big Black and late '60s Afrobeat-jazz Big Black

Incredibly specifically the first 7"s by The Girls (David Thomas produced Boston art punks on Hearpen 1979) & Girls (San Francisco indie 2008 or 9)

Lonnie Smith
Lonnie (Liston) Smith

I like music by Kaito, the melodic trance guy on Kompakt and I saw a post-punk influenced indie band called KaitO a few years ago and they were okay too.

There was also a Derby indie band called Cato who were contemporaneous w/ the latter Kaito, iirc.

Ha! I am responsible for disambiguating the two Kaito's at Rate Your Music. (I know: a lofty credential…)

I like the Kompakt artist; never actually heard the indie band…

I looked in my mp3 folder and I like songs by 3 different punk bands and 1 garage rock band all called The Stains, and 2 punk bands and 2 garage rock bands all called The Plague.

Is one of those Stains from Ladies and Gentlemen...? They're fabulous.

I thought I liked both the Japanese Perfume and the UK one but then I remembered the UK one was rubbish and I was actually thinking of an entirely different band. Damn. I don't really have many of these.

There is a new band called The Magnetic North who are pretty good and another new band called Magnetik North who are excellent.
