I saw a flyer for a band call “Piss Factory” in SLC, of all places!
Dick Cheese and the Crackers
Flatutory Rape
Fuck Me, Suck Me, Call Me Helen
I’ve seen all of these bands in SF in Club Boomerang. Their names were aboslutely the best thing about them.
I think in the ‘60’s there was a band called Pontius Pilate and his Nail-Drivin’ Five.
Don’t know about them, but that reminded me of something I saw in the Book of Rock Lists or Rock Book of Lists or whatever it was called, some 20 years ago. There was a list of, I think it was, “weirdest psychedelic band names,” and one of them was Jesus H. Christ and the Nailknockers. Maybe they played on a bill together at some point…? Unfortunately I don’t have the book anymore, as it also had a list of bands names after sexual terms and such. Though I later heard the one about 10cc isn’t true (that it’s the amount of the average male ejaculate - however that’s still supposedly what Lovin’ Spoonful means too). Being well before the death metal bands of the early '90s, a lot of them seem pretty tame now.
Around here there’s a band called The Fags. You hear about them mostly as the opening act for some other band.
That’s actually a really good metal band once you get past the name.
I dunno if he ever accomplished his wish, but I had a friend in high school who’s dream for life was to start a band called Johnny Abortion and the Coathangers.
If look deeply enough into rotten-dot-com, you will find an album cover for a band called Piles of Dead Jews.
Satan’s Penis
I spent all day trying to remember this one - Lubricated Goat.
I’ve spent the last ten years trying to forget…
Alabama Thunder Pussy
Slobberbone
I imagine it would be hard to get some of these bands listed in a family newspaper. I remember the Plain Dealer here in Cleveland used to only list the Butthole Surfers if they were abbreviated “BH Surfers”.
I knew that signature would Cum in Hand-y one day!
Now it’s time for Lisa-go-Blind to die a long, miserable death. By stoning.
There used to be a west coast band called SHARON TATE’S BABY.
Case closed.
I hadn’t thought I’d hear one worse than Anal Cunt, but I gotta give it Piles of Dead Jews and SHARON TATE’S BABY. Those take it to a new level.
I salute you.
Who is Sharon Tate and why is her baby so offensive?
Sharon Tate was an actress and Roman Polanski’s wife. She was murdered by the Manson family (Charles Manson’s “cult”). She was eight months pregnant at the time of her death. She was stabbed in the womb.
back in high school, probably 1989 or 90, I had a flyer from when Lubricated Goat toured with Bitch Magnet, and I hung it in my locker. Loved getting reactions to that.
I’ve always liked the name of the band Fuckpriest Fantastic. And Fuck is a nice, mellow band when you get past the name.
Not a particularly bad band name, but I knew this band called The Thoroughfare Sandbaggers who had two songs called “Fist-Fucking Baby Jesus For Crack Money” and “Tori Amos Deserves a Good Knife Fuck”.
I think there have been worse names in this thread, but the discussion wouldn’t be complete if I didnt mention Meat Beat Manifesto.
