Planes mistaken for stars
Now appearing at Cleveland Auditorium …
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!
With special guests … Color Me Confused.
Do these have to be real names?
Years ago, during the internet’s infancy, found two huge lists of potential band names on the web. The best name on the list?
Oedipus & The Motherfuckers
Wink wink & the Youbetchas!
Jehovah Witness Protection Program
That one’s mine…
Real band: Fuckpriest Fantastic. That rulez on so many levels…
Cherry Poppin’ Daddies
Black Tape For A Blue Girl
Tonto’s Expanding Headband
Trespassers William
I think if you want to be proper it would be ‘Jehovah’s’.
I’ve always been partial to, “Chainsaw Kittens”.
‘Trophy Husbands’.
silenus ‘Black Tape for a Blue Girl’ is definitely a great band name. I saw them live once. Just as the name sounds it’s great music to slit your wrists to.
From a *National Lampoon *article entilted “What to Name Your Band” (see if you can guess where I came up with my user name):
Cowboy Bob and the Jackbatties.
I have yet to find one to top
ME, MOM and MORGENTALER
It’s a Canadian band.
It’s also a Canadian thing.
Dr. Henry Morgentaler operated one of the first known abortion clinics in Quebec.
Which makes the whole thing kind of ironic.
real band now defunct : Uncle Daddy
One band I was in decided to follow the “Love Tractor” route - that’s the name of an actual band - basically take two words that make no sense together, but sound like they should with a vaguely sexual connotation. We came up with Parallel Mayonnaise
Another non-muso friend of mine desperately wanted to be in a band growing up and so he, his brother and some friends made up a fictional band and filled in their own made-up history. That band was Pornstar Mustache
Honest Bob and the Factory to Dealer Incentives has my vote.
Big Monster Love*
*That’s my own stage name.
Urban Lunchmeat.
That was the name of my team one summer at soccer camp.
Real band: Sexecutioner
Potential names: Mother and the Tuckers
Tom Snot and the Vomits
The Dead Gay Poet Soldiers Of World War One.
Made up just now:
Gonnorhea and the Clappers.
