well witha name like that, it's no wonder they never hit the big time...

I'm sure the people who showed up were disappointed to see the clothed male performers on stage.

There was once a pub band in 1980's Christchurch NZ called Nude Wrestling, in the early days they got a few disgruntled punters turning up to their gigs.
I knew most of the people in the band, they nicknamed themselves Rude Nestling.
