This Whitlam made history (down under at least) by becoming Prime Minister in 1972 and being re-elected in 1974, to be fired a year later by the Governor of Australia, after the country had been shaken up badly by Government scandals and a declining economy. Whitlam is the only Australian Prime Minister who came to his political end in this way.
Founder Tim Freedman of the Whitlams believes that a band name must suck to be any good - hence the eye of the band fell on the name of a loser.
Active: 1992-present, AUS
