"Band Names" that really are band names?

Okay, we all know about “Free Beer”. But what other phrases did you always think would make a great band name…that turned out to actually have a band named after them?

I have two nominations, both of which struck me as potential band named before I discovered they were real names:

Saves the Day (who I now have 3 CDs by)
Shudder to Think
1920’s Style Death Ray (okay, the real band’s just “Deathray”, but we can all hope can’t we?)

Band in Boston

Vas Deferens (long ago-seen in Boston)

Onward Crispin Glover=my favorite name of all time.

How about Anal Cunt?

I remember seeing posters up all over downtown Toronto in the mid-'80s for a band with the best name I’ve ever heard:

Aural Sects.
