Dutch post punk band from Kudelstaart, North Holland.Since its creation the quirky formation was mainly inspired by bands as The Fall and The Undertones, so much is clear; less clear is why Eton Crop was chosen as a band name - or it should be that the members of Eton Crop at the time wore their hair relatively short.
You see, the Eton Crop is a coiffure of a hundred years back, a style that takes its name from the hairstyle that is or was prevalent at the exclusive English boys school Eton (in full: King's College of Our Lady of Eton besides Wyndsor).
It is by the way a ladies' hair style - to which we must immediately add that especially masculine lesbians exposed a preference for it.
