There's a band on there called Sandwich. SANDWICH? I mean, presumably one of the band members said "Hey, guys! Let's call the band Sandwich!" And I can only assume that his colleagues, rather than say "No, that is truly the most toweringly shit band name we've ever heard, you fool", actually concurred.
It's a sick world.

Its rumoured that one of them, Big Tom & The Mainliners, would get a punk audience when playing in the US as people thought the name was a smack reference even though they paly country. Though I don't believe that.

xxxxp from Simon Napier-Bell's book 'You Don't Have To Say You Love Me':
The lead singer had protruding teeth and a high warbly voice. He was generally known around the music business as the singing goat and one TV producer went to enormous lengths to send the whole thing up. Under instructions from Robert (Stigwood, the group's manager) to produce a beautiful artistic image of the group, the director placed his cameras on the singer in close-up profile, then he shot the rest of the group in miniature, in a pool of light in the distance. They were framed by the singer's open mouth, with the goaty teeth protruding over the small background figure like an awning over the tables of a French street cafe.

I thought it had long been standard to deemphasize the charismatic singer/frontman in the photo as a kind of fuck you to celebrity. Maybe that was more true in my college days though.
