There used to be a Cleveland band called “Sleazy Jesus and the Splatter Pigs.” I always thought that was sorta nifty.

Byzantine - There was an all girl punk/metal band called TSS back in the mid-late 80’s. As I recall they weren’t too godd, but it was a novelty thing I guess. There was a PMS also. Any other female conditions that would make good band names?

FYI - Them has been done as a band name… very early Van Morrison. I don’t have a current idea, but my favorite local band (that I would see because the name is so cool) is Bimbo Toolshed.

The reason gentlemen prefer blondes is that there are not enough redheads to go around.

Best names I’ve seen already taken:  
**Teenage Love  
STD’s  
Jesus Chrysler  
Torture Kitty  
The Taoist Cowboys**

I worked in a recovery residence for addicts and alcoholics. People would ask what I did. I would respond that I hang out with:  
**40 Drunks & Junkies**  
If you use this name, I want a free copy of every CD/tape you make.

Oh, another one I saw on a marquis once:  
**Cold Beer**  
Yes, that really was the name of the band! Boy, do they get around, eh?

P.S. to **keystream** …I am a Sober Hippie, but I guess I don’t have the rights to that one! 😉
