How did the Indie band the Fred Roth Revue come up with their album title for their upcoming release called Fred Not Amused?

Apparently, the band had felt the year 2008 had not been too kind to them. If you recall, the winter of 2008 was particularly tough on the local music scene in cities everywhere. FRR could not get a gig anywhere. Bigger bands were playing in smaller venues, thus pushing local bands out to house parties and inventive type playing opportunities. In short, the music scene sucked. The band decided to adopt the mantra “we’re not amused” to accurately depict their mood on the situation. So this album is an expression on their feelings about the great 2008 music scene Indie Rock depression.
