Band names that should be but ain't

In My Humble Opinion
41

**Death by Jitney

Telepathic Cartographers**

Carina’s suggestion of Priapism reminded me that I was at a Halloween party on Friday where a guy was dressed as a priapic priest. His alternate name was Mojo Monk. Either of those would be pretty good.

42

When I was in college me and 4 friends would get drunk and sing, very loudly, every Friday. We got to be a regular attraction. People would buy us pitchers of beer. We were called The ToneDeafs and The Swollen Lymph Nodes. The name of the bar was The Jolly Bull.

All pretty good names.

43

3 suggestions, two of which I’ve played under, but the third seems like it would be an arthouse, math-rock band name. Coldfire’d probably love 'em. :slight_smile:

  1. One Track Mind and the Four Track Hearts - This was our Hank Williams revival band. Only we were more like the Rev. Horton Heat. We were fun, though.

  2. Free Beer - This one looked great on club marquees…“Tonight: Free Beer.” Worked like a charm, too.

  3. Third Bullet - Imagine Rush, with Geddy Lee screeching “Back, and to the left!”

44

Bands I’ve either been in or jammed with:

The Lines - I hated that name, but they were already formed when I joined so I didn’t have a choice.

Frank Burns formerly Haven Moses - My brother-in-law’s band.

Bruce and the Crewcuts - Big Number: Theme from Peter Gunn

The Drunken Idiots - Me, my cousin and my uncle jamming in my uncle’s basement.

The Nameless Many - Not actually a band but it occurred to me that it would be a good name for one. It just describes everyone that anyone who has ever jammed has jammed with (or something like that).

45

The Maple-Leaf Fags.

46

(From a band that was neither Canadian, nor exceptionally angry:) Angry Canadians

Chinese Restaurants seem to be the holy grail for band names.
I found “smelly chicken” on a menu recently… it is saied to taste fine, but nobody can get himself to order it…

Is there already a band called Maidens of Death?
It would make for a good industrial goth band… in my opinion… I wanted to get the words tattooed but then I thought if it actually is a band already or somebody has the idea while I am still alive I ll most prolly have the name of a crappy band tattooed on me. Bad idea.

Any username at this bord would be a good band name I guess

dodgy

48

There are deaftones already…

A few suggestions come to mind

Viagra’s Nemesis
The Bi-Spectacled Cyclops
The Horny Minotaurs
The Teeming Millions
John Bobbit’s Dick
The Scorpion’s Strategy
Andromeda’s vagina
Harry Stamper’s Armageddon Hypothesis

50

Those are Deftones, I do believe.

51

Similar idea: I remember a band called “Live Nude Girls” that also looked pretty good on a marquee.

I’ve always been partial to “Clifford the Big Red Dog,” but you’d probably get sued.

How about:

Catpatties
The Boneponies
Technicolor Yawn
Various Artists - kind of hard to file your records at the store, though
Soundtracks - ditto.

52

Dsylexic HickDeads

53

The Lysdexics.
The Dysfunctionals(real)
Beef Jerky

All I got…

54

Todd AO & the Glen Glenns

Thurston Howell III’s Boner

We had a local music mag here in town a few years ago that had a monthly column of lists of potential band names.

Friends of mine have thought these up, so I can’t take the credit:

  • Tits of Doom

  • Asphalt Anus
