    I've been playing a casual mini-game with myself for a couple of decades now. It's discovering music bands whose name has the "...ettes" suffix. Yeah, it's weird, but it's a nice surprise when I suddenly come across one. :aww: Of course, since the criteria is a suffix, it's hard to cheat by just googling for them.

    It's been several years since I last found one. But today, I don't even remember what I was doing when I noticed a video by the band The Surfrajettes. :blob_plusone: :blobparty:

    So I decided to ask you all: Do any of you know another music band whose name has the "...ettes" suffix?

    Here are the ones I know of so far. Although, I think I'm forgetting one of them right now. :blobthinkingsmirk:

    Starting with the new one: The Surfrajettes



    Dragonette



    Noisettes



    The Pipettes



    The Ravonettes



    And, of course, The Ettes

    I'm just guessing, wouldn't Brunettes be a pretty good band name? Im sure there's one like that

    There used to be a band at my school called “Mariaettes” (yes they spelt it like that) composed of three girls. None of them had “Maria” in their names.

    OK. I've had a chance to listen to all of the groups you found, along with a few additional songs from each. Thanks again!

    I really should have expected that there would be a lot of oldies girl groups using the "...ettes" suffix because this naming convention was more widely used during that period. Speaking of which, while looking up their other songs, I came across yet another one: The Fondettes . :blob_plusone:



    Oy! This group's sound is so chaotic.

    I did have this other band as an honorable mention only because their name is similarly just nominally fit the criteria:
    Cigarettes After Sex
