Lambchop Turd Goes Back Rar

Kurt Wagner is the lead singer and songwriter behind of the revolving band of musicians that make up Nashville's Lambchop, and has been quietly churning lovely and odd alt-country for over two decades. With lyrics that slip quickly from the pedestrian ('Like a pony cart and an old bird bath / A kitchen sink and a rocking chair') to the dryly dark ('I have always thought / That hand guns were made for shooting people / Rather than for sport'), Wagner is unparalleled at presenting a specific, subtle and strange vision of life in the South. Considering it's Sheep Week, though, we mainly wanted to know about why he named his band Lambchop. Modern Farmer: How many times, ballpark, would you say you’ve gotten interview requests from a farming magazine? Kurt Wagner: This would be the first. Which is awesome. MF: Pretty exciting thing.

KW: Oh, I’m very excited. MF: So, we’re doing this thing on the site called Sheep Week, and so naturally we wanted to talk to the guy behind Lambchop. Before you guys settled on the name Lambchop, you went through a couple of different names, right? KW: Okay yeah, we did.

MF: I mean, if you’re up for going through that. KW: No, no, I’ve just got to dig back and try to remember. Well, let’s see. We started out as a group called Posterchild. And that lasted quite a while until we made records and released them, and there was another who were on a big label, and we had just put out a 7″ single.

And somehow their lawyer heard of it — he must have been bored that day or whatever — and contacted us and told us to cease and desist with that name. I sorta screwed up — I thought they were two different words, but that wasn’t good enough. So then I considered naming the band “REN”, which was the difference between Posterchild and Poster Children, but then that was kinda close to another band called “R.E.M,” so that was a problem. Then we were kinda just slopping around. We thought about titles like “Pinnacles of Cream” and “Turd Goes Back,” none of which seemed very appropriate.

The last thing we ever wanted to do was concoct a band name. But, by chance, we were all working construction, and we were coming back from lunch to the job site. And band member Marc Trovillion, he had a tendency to read the paper and shout things out loud. And he shouted this word, “Lambchop!” And it seemed to stick. I tried it out on different people and everyone seemed to — I don’t know, it just seemed like nobody would want to call their band Lambchop, so we wouldn’t have to change it. MF: Were you worried about you at some point?

KW: [laughs] I guess for a while, but it hadn’t occurred to me that that would be a problem as well. People — particularly my future wife, when she said Lambchop her face would end in sort of a smile, and not on a downcast ending. And I thought that was nice. It just seemed innocent and dumb enough, and in this world it seems like those are the kind of names that stick around, and it has. Also my grandfather was a butcher, so it didn’t seem that far-fetched or impersonal. MF: So was it about the cut of meat or the animal or just the sound of the word?
