Today in 1997, Chumbawamba's Danbert Nobacon was arrested by Italian police for wearing a skirt.

Though Danbert's name is not really a part of this story, we just can't stop thinking about it.

So for today's 9:30 Coffee Break, what artists or band members do you want to hear with nom de plumes?

Here is a pseudonym-inspired list of songs we played for a Coffee Break earlier this year to inspire you:

St. Vincent - Actor Out Of Work
Har Mar Superstar - Lady, You Shot Me
Howlin' Wolf - Smoke Stack Lightning
Alice Cooper - I'm Eighteen
Iggy Pop - China Girl
Moby and The Void Pacific Choir - The Light is Clear in my Eyes
Childish Gambino - Redbone
Adam Ant - Goody Two Shoes
Eminem - The Real Slim Shady
