Band Name Contest
Your Band Name has to have three words or word-number combinations, like Three Dog Night, 2 Live Crew or Insane Clown Posse.

Ready?

I don't care if it doesn't have three words, it's still a good band name!

Back in the early '80s I was the editor and main contributor of a small newsletter for the local chapter of a national organization. I created a column that detailed the adventures of a fictitious band called Pukeface Mozart. They were a hillbilly/punk/metal band.

Also rescinded, it appears, is the Unwritten One-Name-Per-Posting Corollary. (What does it say about my ability to process social cues that I didn't figure that out from the first 2 postings, but that the next ten posters all obeyed it?)

Back in college a few of us got together and, had we gotten further than tuning our respective instruments in the same room, could have potentially been referred to as a band. That didn't stop us from trying to come up with a few names, including:

Tall Kitchen Pirates
Circle Gets the Square
Intuitive Worm Feast
Delicious Insanity
Stone By Stone
Renaissance Eggheads (a phrase originally used by James Burke in one of his Connections shows)

Unfortunately I seem to recall that some band already picked it up.

My contribution, which I am borrowing from my trivia group's idle brainstorming about possible team names:
