Punk: Attitude was showing on UK T.V. last night - really good documentary on the rise and evolution of Punk. I know most of the stuff they showed, and its always cool to see archive footage of live shows, when at one point they bring up the band who was labeled “the first Punk band”: ? & The Mysterians. Never heard of them before (until I realised just now by a quick Google that I’ve heard their music), but man - that is probably the most awesome band name in the history of band names. Or comics, or Science Fiction. EVER.

Thats funny, I had never heard of them being refered to as “the first punk band” but I suppose I could see that. However, it is indeed one of, if not the best band names of all time.

Yeah, I think in a way it would be more proto-punk than anything else… They paved the way and opened a lot of eyes apparently.
