I saw a band called 'Fischerspooner' open for Iggy Pop back in the late 90's or early 2000's (can't remember the date) and they were also awful. Sounded like some type of goth/techno music. Seemed like a strange choice for an opening act at an Iggy Pop show.

I saw a show about 7 or so years ago and the opening act was called 'The Body.' Easily the worst live act I've yet to have seen perform. The worst part of it was that the venue had a "no re-admittance" policy, so I couldn't walk out during their set and return after it was over.

I went to see 'The Dammned' play a show in 2017 and I forget the name of the opening act but they were mediocre and forgettable. They had a female vocalist who kept saying "this is a rock show" at various times throughout their entire set which just made their set even more tedious than it already was.

The only reason I remember any of these bands is because of how awful their performances were.

Yeah, that's the only reason I recall Magnapop. They opened for The Fall. They were terrible.
