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. ---

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. ---
