Lost Artists Spotlight: The Aforementioned Wiener

Lost Artists, those musicians and performers that have slipped through the cracks, are a sad tragedy, but Abstruse Decapod aims to help bring these forgotten souls of entertainment back to the people whenever possible. One such venerable flash in the pan is below:


Yes ladies and gentlemen, you have finally found it! Its not a dream, this ... this is the Real Deal -- this is ... The Aforementioned Wiener!



The Aforementioned Wiener


Historical Notes
The members of The Aforementioned Wiener range in age but their total age is 87 as of April 2002, so fans know that there is a lot of experience and dedication behind this obscure but unstoppable band with the unlikely name.

Starting out as simply a few random words on a piece of paper at a bakery in northeast Oklahoma, The Aforementioned Wiener, consisting of friends and a few relatives, slowly pulled itself out of the creative sludge and started performing and doing gigs at area high schools, civic centers and the occasional bar and rodeo, learning valuable life lessons and fighting injustice where they found it.

Great Random Name Generator, or Greatest Random Name Generator?


 I have used this a number of times for my own purposes, mostly for RPGs, since finding it in 2011, and while it is still somewhat limited per cultura set (Spanish, etc), to probably about... 30 names (?), overall, it is an incredible free resource, allowing you to choose male or female and from among 21 nationalities, which it then uses to give you 50 randomly assembled sets of first and last names!
