Ya come on everyone, just tell me some of the weirdest band names you’ve ever heard. I personally was once in a band called No Fat Chicks. Another funny one Ive heard is John Cameron Doesn’t Shake Hands.
Hello and welcome to the SDMB Happy Feet!

About twelve years ago in the Seattle area there was a band making the rounds that went by the name of Catbutt. According to a writeup they got in a local alternative paper, the lead singer grew up dirt-poor in the South. Occasionally his family killed and cooked stray cats to supplement their diet. The favorite cut of meat was… teeny tiny rumproast.
Or so the story went.
