Start a band and call it "Cheap Beer" or "Free Beer".
Imagine the marquee sign.

There's actually a band called "Free beer and chicken" in northern Illinois. And they suckered at least one dude. I was sure I saw one around these parts but I couldn't find it.

There is a local band here named, "Nicklebeer." One of the drummers at church used to play with them.

I played in a band named free beer back in the 80s. One bar owner found it amusing and let us put it out on the sign, the rest of them wouldn't bite so we were only free beer for one evening.
Still, one night of free beer is better than none at all.

Marquee bands have been around for a long time. The most successful one is probably Bare Naked Ladies.
Other ones that have been used: Free Beer No Cover Free Steaks Pictures of My Sister Loose Women You Gotta See to Believe It Wet T-shirts The worst marquee band name of all time: Closed for Business |

Just think of the fun that the big time rock band "Bare Naked Ladies" had in their early years?!

They probably got real good at dodging beer bottles flung by angry Canadian lumberjacks and people that look and sound like Yosemite Sam.

Then the Toronto mayor at the time Barbara Hall,(oh yeah,woman,uh-huh,sure,like he/she wasn't taping back a swinging salami under that dress) made a huge stink about their name saying how it victimized women. Mayor Hall was really good at shooting his/her mouth off about whatever p.c. drivel was popular and wasting money on studies,infrastructure pretty much fell apart under his/her reign. Suddenly everyone was going to see them and they got up enough dough to do a video cover or Bruce Cockburn's 'Lover's in a Dangerous time'. Some live recodrings came out,(Q107 went nuts for them) and because they were kinda funny they got huge quick. |
