Answer: Nick Lowe's Last Chicken in the Shop

In 1977 almost the entire roster of record label Stiff went on tour together. Nick Lowe, Wreckless Eric, Ian Dury, Elvis Costello and Larry Wallis. Lowe's backing band was indeed called Last Chicken in the Shop. Wallis' band was called Psychedelic Rowdies.

But Ian Dury and Elvis Costello of course toured with the Blockheads and the Attractions respectively. You can find a nice protrait of the tour on the 1978 album 'Live Stiffs'.

4. What can we have for starters? Well, 'Soup is Good Food' according to some band who obviously didn't take their own advice and starved to death.

Answer: Dead Kennedys

'Soup is Good Food' appeared on the album 'Frankenchrist' ('85). A poster that appeared with this album, depicting famous Swiss artist HR Giger's painting 'Landscape #20' brought the band a lot of trouble. The painting has an alternate title - 'Penis Landscape' - and singer Jello Biafra was charged with "distributing harmful matter to minors".

He repulsed this on the basis of the First Amendment right to free speech and the court case was dismissed the following year. The prosecutor who charged Biafra has since stated that he was in fact only looking to gain some publicity for himself and that he never believed the poster was harmful and that he just let PMRC-affiliated people persuade him to charge Biafra.
