Bands with food in their name

Gumbo
Tommy Roe
Menudo

If we’re going to include Iron Butterfly, there’s also Jellyfish (two foods in one band!). And the Dead Milkmen.

And if we’re including fictional bands, there’s Dessert (alternately spelt Desert, Dessart, and Desret), the girl group from Suicide Club.

And a real, non-stretch:

Coconuts Musume (one of the many, many singing groups that have been part of Hello! Project).

Limp Bizkit

If awful alternate spellings count, then Uncle Kracker.

Hot Fudge (Muppets).

Do tastes count? If so…

Matthew Sweet
Rancid

And then there’s:

Sugar Ray

Peripherly, Canned Heat?

Would give some meaning to all that sterno that I lit to keep the food hot.

T-Bone Burnett

Modest Mouse

Eagle Eye Cherry

Counting Crows (Eat crow… it’s a stretch, I know)

Also, any group with the word “kids” in their name.

If cannibalism counts, why not Dead Kennedys?

ABBA is the name of a Swedish herring company.

Mustard Plug

OK thanks Only Mostly Dead for busting [del]my[/del] me on cherry :slight_smile:
Lets allow ficticious bands only if there have been records/cds released under the band name. I’ll add * kid * and * Brothers * as a couple of special cases (bonus points to Usram and Ludovic )

  • kid *
  • Brothers *
