Stupid Band Names:
- Sounds like the name of an Adult Entertainment film studio like Evil Angel, X-treme, or Vivid Submitted by: Robert D. Arndt Jr.

What A Band is Best Known For (aside from their music):
"Winning Amnesty International Award"
Yoko Ono and Amnesty International awarded the Russian punk band Pussy Riot this year's LennonOno grant for peace. Ono presented the award to Pyotr Verzilov, husband of Nadia Tolokonnikova- one of three imprisoned members of Pussy Riot sentenced in August to two years in prison for performing a song mocking Russian President Vladimir Putin inside Moscow's main cathedral. The LennonOno Grant for Peace is given every two years in dedication to peace and human rights. Pussy Riot won on grounds of freedom of speech.

"Fleeing Russia"
Two Pussy Riot rockers have left Russia to avoid prosecution for the band's "punk prayer." The pair who fled have not yet been named but the husband of one of the jailed women said the duo had taken part in the cathedral protest in February. Here are the names of Pussy Riot: Maria Alyokhina, Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Yekaterina Samutsevich. The three of them were found guilty of "hooliganism motivated by religious hatred" and jailed for two years. The Twitter account called Pussy Riot Group said: "In regard to the pursuit, two of our members have successfully fled the country! They are recruiting foreign feminists to prepare new actions!" Russian authorities are hunting for them...
