Worst support band ever!

Mank's on a roll today with his topic starting. (just thought of another one so watch out!)
Primal Scream opened for Waterboys at DAR. Oh my fucking god! I honestly thought it was a piss-take, until I realised the idiots on stage were actually taking themselves seriously.
Manic Street Preachers opened for Oasis at Nissan…never did understand what all the hype was about with that shite.
The poor girls last night, Slumber Party, are up there too, and I'm not just saying that because it's still fresh in my mind.

I'm in agreement about Slumber Party. I don't know what B&S sees in them.
My pick for Worst support band/act ever goes to: The poor anonymous girl who opened for The Strokes/Kings Of Leon show at UMBC a few weeks ago. Talk about a bad call–this poor girl with a Casio keyboard singing these perplexingly disjointed songs and telling the audience to go 'UGH, America!, UGH, America!' :(

The Pleased, who opened for Arthur Lee and Love just last week. The memory of their set only gets uglier as the days go by.

Guiny, you got the wrong thread. Surely you meant to put that in the best support bands ever thread. They were a hoot. I hated elastica.

"Butt Trumpet"!!! Come on….with a name like that what were you expecting?
We were expecting very little. We got even less.
Second place goes to Wrathchild opening for the Ramones at the Wax Museum in '84. Big-hair lite-metal band. First time I ever saw a band have beer thrown at them. They certainly deserved it.

I have seen tons of bad support bands, mostly I dont remember their names. One band that can always get me to leave the area instantly though is Dead Meadow.
