The Bastard Sons of Johnny Cash. My friend Doug Meyer played with them for a while…
We had three in Denver until recently.
John Cougar Concentration Camp
The Gaza Strippers
REO Speeddealer.
Ummmm…
How about…
Toad the Wet Sprocket.
Kiss
Simple, easy to remember and to the point. I’ve always thought this was the best band name ever. And who doesn’t love a great kiss!?
*Don’t be a dope!
Don’t smoke that coke!
We’re talkin’ 'bout cocaine, it’s not good for your brain!
*
It’s the sax hook that makes it art.
Well, maybe not the best, but pretty cool: Janet Beverage Bean and the Concertina Wire
The best might be found in post #20. I think I wanna hear some of that shit!
Toad took their name from a Monty Python sketch. That sketch is full of bizarre names.
My father in law was once in a band called “Excess Phlegm.” They didn’t really go anywhere. I personally would love to be in a band named “Slap Fart Wake Up”
Some friends of mine had a band called “the Friends of Ned Flanders.” They later changed their name to “Jamasaurus Rex.”
Another couple other friends (I know a lot of musicians) named Russ Murphy, Jeff Putnam and Mark Bingham had a band called “Russ Murphy & the Jeff Putnam Group (Featuring Mark Bingham.)”
I’ve always been partial to
Buddy Hinton’s Revenge
(named after the kid from the Brady bunch who picked on Cindy for her lisp and then got punched by Peter)
Rod Torfleson’s Armada featuring Herman Menderchuck- best garage band ever!!
Seriously though, we have a local band called LoveSeedMamaJumpwho play most of the East Coast.
When she was a teenager, in the 1930s Caribbean, my grandmother was in a band called:
The Back Street Syncopators
I love that.
