Band From Sci-Fi

What happens when science fiction TV, film and book titles form an unholy alliance with rock and pop stars?

Are you following SFX on Twitter yet? If not, here’s an example of the fun you’re missing out on (or possibly a reason never to venture anywhere near,take your pick). Last week, our Ian idly starting amusing himself by combining band names and pop/rock star names with SF and fantasy book, film and TV titles. He came up with Kenny Rogers In The 25th Century , Manilow From Atlantis and Terminator: The Des O’Connor Chronicles but then, before he wasted the whole afternoon, we forced him to ask our esteemed Twitter followers for more suggestions.

And a few that bent the rules, but were fun anyway

Delta and the Bunnymen tk_firetruck (we’re sure that there’s a whole separate game to be made involving Doctor Who episode titles)

James Blunt Versus Predator soullessparty (which is purely something like we’d like to see)
