Band names
« on: May 16, 2012, 06:22:26 pm »
For what it's worth (and since the Shelby thread died on the vine) I'm going to set this off into the wild and see what happens. No real reason for this other than it doesn't quite fit into "what are you listening to".

Everybody likes that joke about "new band name". Anyway, here are four band names from actual bands I heard play that might fit that bill.

Underwear(were?)wolves
Glamchowdah
Placentapede
Trojan Hearse

That's gotta be close to the ultimate in not selling out. It doesn't matter how good your band is, if you have one of those names they will never be successful.

(Also, when I was in elementary school I made my first "new band name" joke and a substitute teacher overheard it. I am not sure why the name appealed to me, but I suggested "Anal Sweat and Goat Vomit" as the ultimate metal band name. I felt very relieved that the sub laughed and did not immediately have me expelled.)

i may have mentioned these before, but they exist:

mario speedwagon
tony danza tapdance extravaganza
ted dancin'

also, i was bitterly disappointed to know that there is already a band named "dickwolf"(like the producer of all the law/order shows...).

A friend is naming his rap side-act "Filth Collins" on my recommendation.

My bad, Pearl Jam is the exception that proves the rule. That is a pretty har-har-har name.

I think my life would have been very different if I'd gone to grade school with Nabu or someone like him.

There is a band named Police Academy 6 that is not terrible. Remembering that always makes me smile.

I've always thought The fuck*ng Champs was a great band name.

Rapeman the band (whose one album Two Nuns and a Pack Mule was a name taken from an actual porn mag) led me to The Rapeman comic which led me to the animated rapeman. Apparently there is also a live-action series and several video games.

Bands I have known personally, or close enough;

Leonidas Rex
Puberty Blues
And another one I can't remember just now but the name was based on their logo lookin kind of like a mantis head until you realised that the eyes were comedically large boobs and the jaws were her legs spreading. That band was basically as good as it sounds. Edit: They were, of course 'Funky mantis'. Commemorated in their first single 'We are Funky Mantis'

High school potential band name 'Glass Couch'

"Nocturnal Emissions".

That would be the best band name ever if they did nothing but Chopin covers.

How is it that VW doesn't have 40 cans for every post she makes?
