A couple of months ago I posted a mini, “Entertaining Women,” whose theme entries were bands with names containing the word “Girls.” I figured I’d construct a matching mini for the following week featuring band names with the word “Boys.” Once I started collecting theme answers, though, I realized there were more than enough such band names for a full-sized puzzle.
A word about the grid: I break one of the fundamental rules of crossword construction – the revealer includes a word that’s in the clue for each theme answer. Apologies to any purists!
Any resemblance of the black squares in the middle of the grid to a man is unintentional and, frankly, beyond my capabilities if I’d tried. But it’s still kind of cool given the theme!
