Remember those guys from that band Limozeen?

</div>

</div>

</div>
Multiple bands throughout the [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] body of work were '''introduced in the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[band names]]'''.

Asked to help the sender come up with a name for his band, Strong Bad first recommends using "a really cool last name" (citing [[Van Halen]], [[Dokken]] and [[Enuff Z'Nuff|Z'Nuff]]) before suggesting taking "a really cool word but then [[Sensational spelling|spell(ing) it all wrong]]." He offers four ideas: "Lazor", "Bigg Nife" (an indirect reference to [[i love you]]), "[[Limozeen]]" and "[[Taranchula]]". All four would see later reference as [[Homestar Runner universe|in-universe]] bands, with widely varying levels of detail and prominence.

</div>
'''[[Lazor]]''' was the first proposed band name. It was later confirmed to be a real band in [[Limozeen Live (practice)|Limozeen Live]], though they have yet to appear in an actual cartoon or have a full song.

The only known member, guitarist "Crush", gave his top hat to [[Larry Palaroncini]].

</div>
The band name '''Bigg Nife''' references the [[Running Gags|running gag]] of [[Big Knives]]. Introduced with a metal riff and a glam-rock "well all right!" vocal, similar to what Limozeen would become, years later their first full song [[The Archer]] instead featured a slower [[hard rock]] style. The band has seen [[Baddest of the Bands Responses (House of Strong)|brief mentions]] but has never made an appearance in a toon.

</div>
'''Taranchula''' first appeared as a proposed band name, accompanied by a [[Heavy Metal|heavy metal]] riff. The band would later be established as a Scandanavian [[death metal]] band, sounding very similar to the riff from this email (the same sound byte accompanied their appearance on the [[death metal|Half-Hour Death Metal Dungeon Hour]]).

</div>
'''Limozeen''' was the final name proposed by Strong Bad, accompanied by a soft acoustic guitar sound. Later entries in the Homestar Runner body of work would establish Limozeen as a [[glam metal]] group, sounding closer to the riffs that accompanied Lazor or Bigg Nife in this toon.
