Cashella - What are all the references?

[ᶄaȶsusɧíí]

I basically understand that this is referring to a music community event such as Woodstock or Lollapalooza. But what exactly are each of the references?

So far, I get:
- Food Fighters = Foo Fighters
- L.I.L. Z = Jay Z ?
- Mad At the Corporation = Rage Against the Machine
- Ali Jupiter's icon is a parody of Prince's logo
- Beyonest = Beyoncé ?
- Skrilla = Skrillex
- Steel Pantera = Pantera?

And several of the songs take from real songs. Which references have you spotted?

Same as op and:
LIL Z - could be a mix between Lil Wayne (or whatever other "LIL" rapper) and Jay Z.
Steel Pantera - the steel part made me think of Iron Maiden (and Pantera of course).
Kenneth Rural - my first thought was Johnny Cash.

[Zerster]

Steel Pantera should be a combination of the bands Steel Panther and Pantera

There's probably some Ali G in the Ali Jupiter name, although the main inspiration is obviously Prince.

Yes on Beyonest = Beyonce, with her manager Maddhonest = Madonna.

Brethren Songclash is hard. I'm guessing Songclash = Soundgarden, and the flame logo is Audioslave, both Chris Cornell fronted bands. But dunno on the Brethren part.

Kenneth Rural is easy, that's Keith Urban. The manager (forget his name) is the Johnny Cash takeoff.

I think Brethren Songclash is supposed to be a reggae/ska band. The Clash had a fairly distinct reggae influence. "Brethren" (pronounced more like bredren) is a rasta/reggae term.

Gong Farley is definitely a rasta Chris Farley/Bob Marley mix.

Heyayhr B. Vis is Beavis from Beavis and Butthead plus someone bald (louis ck?)

Obviously Kurt Cobain, Dr Dre, and Diamond Darrell for some of the others.

Mad At the Corporation i figured was bad company

'Steel' also made me think of Iron Maiden.

I totally missed the Madonna reference. Nice! :)

Good eye on the flame logo.

I wouldn't have guessed these!


Good catches everyone.

There's almost a complete list on the mobile forums, lemme scrounge it up for you. The one they are missing is the reference for Kurdt Crowbrain.

btw, "turn it up to 11" is a Spinal Tap reference. If you've never seen it you should. That scene is one of the funniest scenes in movie history.

[embol]

Mad at the Corporation is Rage Against the Machine.

[Asamak]

The sound track reminds me on Pu$$y by Rammstein.

[T-wRecks]

Yeah, I was off on Bretheren Soundclash. From the kongregate thread, there's apparently a reggae/ska band named Bedouin Soundclash, so pretty much totally that.

It also ties Bruno Mars to Ali Jupiter along with Prince and Ali G, which makes sense.

I had KR as Kenny Rogers given the Rural reference (Country & Western) but Keith Urban seems to make more sense.
