Alter egos? (Performed and/or recorded as eg Luke the Drifter, Sasha Fierce)

Blank_Frank · Post by **Blank_Frank** » Wed Mar 02, 2011 1:35 pm

Correct! They've all had, to varying degrees, musical alter-egos:

Elvis Costello had a few, the most memorable being "The Imposter" and (way before the film came out) "Napoleon Dynamite".

Beyoncé's was Sasha Fierce on "I Am... Sasha Fierce".

XTC recorded two psychedelia-influenced albums as "The Dukes of Stratosphear".

Hank Williams also recorded songs under the name "Luke the Drifter".

Garth Brooks tried (and failed) to reinvent himself as "Chris Gaines".

Over to you, Mr. Miltz!

What's the connection?

Blank_Frank · Post by **Blank_Frank** » Fri Mar 04, 2011 2:38 pm

They're all anagrams of members of "The Brittle Pigs", a little-known avant-jazz quartet around in the early 60's:

Albert Farock (double bass)
Corry Welsh (guitar and euphonium)
Candy Wh (originally from Korea, violinist)
"Ginst", a.k.a. Ginster "Pastieman" Carruthers (foot-stomping and spoons)

Following Albert's tragic death in a knitting accident the other members briefly formed a trio called "Spankfrenzy" before finally going their separate ways.
