“Johnny [fill in the blank] And The [fill in the blank/s]” is always a good place to start, and I’ve actually thought up three in the past 6 months or so that make me think “If I was ever in a band…” They are: Johnny Longpenis And The Endowment; the similarly named Johnny Tightpants And The Bulges; and Johnny Laidback And The Mellow Groovies.
10 years ago I thought Big Sexy Nun was a damn fine name, but could only manage to use it for a mix tape. Damn my sloth! Father Feelmeup was a similar one, but these days I don’t think it would be kosher. Hmm, now that I think about it, its being not kosher probably makes it more palatable to a certain audience.
I always thought a great idea for a band name would be something that had the initials TBA(Texas Bath Authority, Tough Broads Anonymous, it really doesn’t matter what).
Think about it, you’d get bookings all over town.
I used to have this dream of being in an all-girl punk band called DBS. Short for “Dirty Book Store”. For some reason it was the most hilarious thing at the time, but I think I was drunk.
My friends used to be in a band called Aunt Jemima’s Urethra. They actually played shows around town, but under the abbreviation AJU.
My favorite metal band name would be “Dead Baron” (in Gothic font letters, ala Red Baron). Hit album name “Hunger Dogs”. Hit single name “Sick Gloria Transit”.
It’s been taken, but “The Space Hippies” would also be good.
My “rap” name is “the Blazin Caucasian” which really works with my real last name. My friend and I made a website about our fake rap group. www.ptclan.00server.com. Sorry about the pop-ups, I can’t control them.
As generated by the Wu Name Generator (no link, sorry - go Google it or something if you’re really interested) my rap name was The One Eyed Enemy of God. If it’s going to have “one eyed” in it without “trouser snake” what’s the point? One Eyed Trouser Snake of God has much more pep. But the rapper name I’ve decided on is MC Whitey The Man. The MC part because it’s so old school, and Whitey The Man because I am a card carrying member of The International Middle Class White Male Conspiracy. I just gotta think up the name of a posse to go along with it. Yo!
My rap name changed from M.C. Pist to M.C. Furious to M.C. Issues (see a trend here?) before somehow morphing itself into Traumatic, which is a play on my first name. The group was originally DKB - Dan K***ey’s Basement (name edited for privacy), which was the place we practiced the most; we are now known as Dead Logic. (I don’t know - someone else came up with it.) Other members include Optimo, Lyri-Kill, Sketch (the female), and The Lady Killa. Yes, we’re all of the caucasian persuasion, but you know you best be recognizin’ our mad skills, yo!
Before turning to rap, some of the same people were in a band known as Dan K***ey and the Procrastinators - named after the drummer, since it was “different,” and most other bands named themselves after the lead singer - as well as the beloved Anal Leakage, Faggot Jock (don’t ask. Really - don’t.), and my personal favorite, The He-Man Fiasko. (not a typo.) My name in the metal/rock bands was always Cactus Matt.
