And that band that opened for QOTSA at the club last year…The lead singer was borderline and then made me feel awkward by set's end. Or, was it the guy w/ the washboard? :(
Ted Leo is verrrrry awkward with banter, moving away from and back to the microphone 3-4 times during one attempted sentence.
Jay Farrar, anyone?
The band that opened for QOTSA was called Throw Rag. I didn't find him awkward as much as I did just plain gross. But that band rocked. I thought they were fantastic, very unsettling and gross. Brilliantly sick.
I second Joey Ramone. How do you get more awkward than what essentially looks like a praying mantis as a human? He always looked like he was from another planet.

Stevie Winwood. At his last 930 show, he spent the entire set either facing stage left, or with his back to the audience. It was painful and distracting.
Just when he tries to talk between songs, which, come to think of it, is rare.

Do the Jesus and Mary Chain still play with their backs to the audience, or was that just a gimmick from the Psychocandy era?
Also – Ted Leo didn't seem awkward to me when I saw him at the Black Cat.
