Bands as UK local elections - Friday Fun

Timewasting fun on NME.COM here

It's Friday again, and all across the UK the votes for the local elections are being counted.

Not the most riveting fact in the world – but what most certainly is riveting is today's (May 2) Friday Fun – bands as UK local election stuff.

Here's a few we've come up with so far:

Ken LivingStone Roses
The Boris Johnson-town Massacre
Green Polling Day
Put Your X In The Black Box Recorder
The New York Polls
M.I.A-yor Of London
The Pigeon Electeds
Rig-gie Smalls
Tim Booth
Stephen Malkmus And The Ticks
