Dad band names

The Embarassments.
Well, the guys in The Embarrassment should be dads, or even grandads by now. From Witchita, of all places, their early singles are collector’s items, they used to come up and play my hometown of KCMO all the time, had a little national traction and albums, but they went the way of most bands. Their gigs were always a big sloppy fun party.
A British friend of mine, who had a bit of international success with his band The Mighty Lemon Drops had even heard of them and was a fan. The guitarist and drummer went to Boston, and played(individually)in Big Dipper and The Del Fuegos.
This song of theirs was always a hoot…
