edna Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 I don't usually watch American TV in Sain... (but I could try to google the list of those guys and then look for bands called with their names...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad_M Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 The band is from Los Angeles, CA. The Bassist was also the vocalist. The name of the group is not the exact name of the fugitive. It is his nickname and last name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 That's much too complicated for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad_M Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 oh, and one more to make it somewhat easier. The first letter of the band's name is from the last half of the alphabet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad_M Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Very close with the letter O, edna. I'll narrow it down. The band I'm looking for starts with the letter P. It's a two word band name. The first word is the fugitive's nickname and the second word is his last name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad_M Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 For anyone closing in on this fugitive-named band, here's another clue. > Appeared in an episode of Season 2 of America's Most Wanted TV show.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Laurie_ Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 What was the question again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad_M Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 It's been awhile, Laurie. I forget. Here's what we have so far: Answer is: This '90s rock band was named after a fugitive seen on TV's America's Most Wanted. Clues: > The band is from Los Angeles, CA. > The Bassist was also the vocalist. > The name of the group is not the exact name of the fugitive. It is his nickname and last name. > The first letter of the band's name is from the last half of the alphabet. > Starts with the letter P. > It's a two word band name. > The first word is the fugitive's nickname and the second word is his last name. > Appeared in an episode of Season 2 of America's Most Wanted TV show. Another Clue: > Looking up the highest charting hit for the band Toadies will start you off with the first half of the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad_M Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Yet another clue: The last name of this fugitive is the same last name of the songwriter of the song "Back Door Man", covered by The Doors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) That's really a challenge... What's the Gabe Dixon Band? ...it doesn't seem to start with a "P"... Edited January 9, 2013 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad_M Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 That's because it's not the Gabe Dixon Band. They may have released their first album in 1999 but that doesn't make them a 90's band, they are a 00's band. The band I'm looking for is a 90's band and their first name starts with the letter 'P'. Remember that the first name of this band is the nickname of the fugitive. Also, take a look at a previous clue I gave: > Looking up the highest charting hit for the band Toadies will start you off with the first half of the answer.

Zabadak Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Who is Possum Dixon? Good question! :badcomp: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad_M Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 That is correct, Laurie! :happybanana: :partytime1: America's Most Wanted: America Fights Back: Season 2, Episode 54 The band's title came from the legendary serial killer James "Possum" Dixon. One night, while watching America's Most Wanted, the band saw a segment on Dixon. Guitarist Celso Chavez blurted to Zabrecky that the name sounded good for their fledgling band. The name stuck. themaneater.com Their one-hit wonder single, "Watch The Girl Destroy Me", was a top-ten hit on U.S. Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart but only a minor hit on the Mainstream Rock Track chart. It failed to chart on the Hot 100 chart, only reaching #110 there. You'd have to be a listener of Alternative radio to have heard of the band or this song.
