My band is Men without Captains. The random bandname generator in _Rock Band_ is almost as much fun as the entire rest of the game. ---

My wife and I have two bands. Our main band is **Apocalyptic Cheese** (I drum, she sings, our buddy plays guitar when he comes over). Our other band is **Loaded Duck** (she drums, I play guitar). My drummer is named **Strafe** (I’m not sure why – I wanted something like Strife but more badass, and that’s what I landed on). My guitarist’s name is **C-Dawg** (he’s got a pig tattoo on his face because that’s how he rolls). ---

I briefly played as “The Trashcan Assclowns”. Also as “Mourning Wood”. My personal work is “The Danse Leviathan”. ---

My girlfriend said something strange one night while we were preparing to start a 3 person band, so we wound up as **I Got Amazed** ---

In Dave Barry Goes to Japan, he writes about how the Japanese love to put English words on their shirts, even if they make no sense. He was watching a Japanese band and IIRC the lead singer wore a shirt that said “King Fucker Chicken.” ---

It would be nice if the OP would provide a link to whatever the hell is being discussed. ---

[QUOTE=Oslo Ostragoth] It would be nice if the OP would provide a link to whatever the hell is being discussed. [/QUOTE] I figured if you didn’t understand it then you didn’t have a band/character and the thread would be pointless anyway, so I didn’t figure I needed to. But anyway, we’re talking about the video game [Rock Band](http://www.rockband.com/). ---

I still haven’t gotten Rock Band yet (still slogging through Guitar Hero 1&2 thanks to **Asimovian** ) but I’ve already decided my band name is **Buttsecks!1! the band** feat. Goatse. (My GH band is already Buttsecks!1!, but it’s just featuring Pandora.) Yes, I’m very sophomoric. ---

Here is a video showing people playing. It’s a hell of a lot of fun as a party game. My favorite is the drums. (the stuff on the screen is telling them what notes/buttons to play on their “instruments.” The lyrics are scrolling across the top for the singer, and it measures how close they are to the correct pitch.
