Band Names!

[mjr]

What are some "amusing" and/or "creative" band names you've heard? Real or fictional?

And what's an amusing phrase that could be used as a band name?

Like I just thought of one: "Fickle Pickle".

"Butthole Surfers" would be another example.

[AnaKhouri]

In high school our hypothetical band name was Psychedelic Love Monkeys.

[wolfie]

IIRC, the second one was the name of an actual band.

[April]

Fudge Tunnel. Real name

During Halloween, while I was putting away decorations, we decided "Babies and Body Parts" would be a good name

IIRC, the second one was the name of an actual band.

Yes, indeed. Butthole Surfers are a real name.

It's also amusing, and clever. I wanted to use it as an example of a real band with an amusing name.

[Antisocial_Worker]

Lulu and the Hideous Beasts
The Wayward Baristas

[drunkenwildmage]

Trying to remember any of the ones from when I used to DJ at a college radio station.

"Butt Trumpet" is the only one that comes to mind.


There was also a band out of Detroit called "Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr" that has since renamed to "JR JR"

So heavy they'll never fly:
Iron Butterfly - Eat-A-Gob-Of-Velveeta
and later on...
Led Zeppelin - squeeze my lemons and I shall scream!

[mjr]

Just remembered another: BR549

And "Old Crow Medicine Show"

[dalesys]

Titus' Mother (say it) (short-lived 70s band)

[Crossbow]

At one point some friends and I made up concert flyers for local bands that don't exist, complete with dates for the local bar/concert venue.

Let's see...

Monday Morning Sociopath
Persistence of Insanity
Indistinguishable From Malice
Grouchsquall
Primitive Death Cult
Moreau’s Revenge
Gigadeth
Roux the Day
Large Hateful Collider
Book of Hells
London Culling
Murderous Before Coffee
Manson’s Nightmare

Of course, you could always go to the master of fictional band names: John Scalzi: http://nextbandname.tumblr.com/

My son has played in a boy band off and on for a few years. While hanging out with some friends of ours, we decided they should name the band Schizophrenic Hair. I think it had something to do with some young lady that was hanging out with us with some pretty wild/unruly hair.

[Deserted]

In high school, my last garage band was called "Melting With Jesus".

[dendawg]

If I was ever in a band, I'd call it "Premature Emasculation"

[MoonCat]

Years ago my sister and I made one up called "Cosmic Ray and the Brain Waves."
