The Zip Code Rapists were a really great band.
Actual band names I just gotta mention:
The Hungry Midgets
The Yehudi Mormons (of “Cross Dressing with my Dad” fame)
The Jet Cake Tins
If the cat made an appearance, I’d pay an additional $20 per ticket.
If they had the fridge, door open and cat inside snacking, displayed on a rising trap-door stage with a spotlight and smoke, I’d pay an additional $75.
Thank you, thank you! Satan is saving a special place for me.
Bloody Tongue and the Thalidomide Babies was a real band name, now that I think of it.
No no, you were right first time. Mucus = noun, mucous = adjective. Nobody ever gets that right.
My favourite so far was “WTF & the OMGLOLs”.
On a similar note:
1337 + teh Suxx0rZ
and, of course, the band that seems to crop up on every bill this side of Christendom:
E&OE
I’ll do you one better.
Uncle Ned’s Old Sock Drawer
Yes, that was the name of a real band.
Yes, I was in that band.
Yes, we were good. Damned good.
So Mohammed & The Atta Boys would be not-so-good?
Black Trench Shooters
Bloody Stools
Maggot Therapy
Bloodstained Panties
I LIKE Tragically Anonymous, personally.
Well, if raunch is what the people want…
Drunk Girls Are Easy
The Sandpaper Condoms

Well this is about the zillionth band name thread in which I’ve participated. As someone else said, this makes the $15 subscription worth it.
Okay, in the realm of extremely poor taste:
Mother Fing Theresa* or
Fing Mother Theresa*
The Station Fire (In February, 2003, a fire erupted in The Station, a Rhode Island nightclub which featured rock bands. 100 people died.)
Baby Seal Club (also, a great name for a nightclub huh?)
Let’s see, for names that would get you into serious trouble and/or death:
The Bloods and the Crips (I’m sure members of these two organizations would express their dismay about copyright infringement).
Hell’s Angels (See above)
Mafia Informants
Up With NAMBLA !!!
And let’s not forget a certain US Rep who recently resigned:
That Mark Foley Feeling
Or just a private members’ club. Heck, I’d join in a heartbeat!
Although, inevitably, it’s already been done…
**The Whom
The Paul Butterfield Temporary Affective Disorder Band
Anderson Council
Ralph in Chains
A Dirigible So Heavy It Couldn’t Possibly Fly
Marshall Applewhite and the Comets
Buddy Holly and the Giant Hissing Cockroaches
The Young Funky College Boys Who Have Gathered No Moss

In the movie “School of Rock”, Jack Black’s students come up with names that are not very applicable to a rock and roll band. (For example, the Koala Bears, the Bumblebees and so on). He says those names are kind of “sissy”.
So, with that in mind, how about these “kickass” names?
Casper and the Friendly Ghosts
The Daffodills
The Cowardly Lions
Disney’s Amazing Sounds of Goofy, Pluto, and the Dwarf Planets.
Thomas Kincade’s Anus.
Jimmy Page and the Foley Artists.
No Vacancy.
Hoobastank.
There actually are bands named the Gloryholes (hardcore punk band from Seattle) and Bloods & Crips (rap act formed in 1992 from members of both gangs during the post-Rodney King riots “cease fire”). I do remember one of the members of the Butthole Surfers being interviewed in Rolling Stone and saying if he had to do it all over again, he would name the band I Shit in your mother’s vagina
Not The Mark Foley Experience?
Or maybe Mark Foley and the Pedo Priests
Oh, yea, going to hell for that one.
Going the other direction …
Watching Paint Dry
Dullest Speeches of the United States Congress
I Know Where The Term ‘The Whole Nine Yards’ Comes From No Really

I think “Everybody Wants To Rule the World” is a great song, and I groove out to it every time it comes on the iTunes, but really, Tears for Fears is one of the lamest band names ever. Does that say “fun, dangerous, and sexy” to you? No, it doesn’t, because they got their band name from their love of primal scream therapy. Hell, On The Couch would have been a better band name, because there’s some modicum of sexual inuendo there. I want my rock bands to make me crazier, not saner. That’s kind of the point. “It’s got a good beat, and I can really bug out to it!” not “It’s got a good beat, and it really stabilizes my emotions and helps me come to terms with my mother issues.”
Some of these band names are pretty good, actually. I think the worst names would fall into one of three categories:
Names that would be confusing on a marquee
Closed for Renovation
Welcome Pipefitters Local 182
Hospitality Industry Career Expo
Langley - Collins Wedding
Collegiate Battle of the Minds
Names that would get you sued
Scientology is a Sham
The Oprah Winfrey Experience
Walmart Sucks (just about any big corporation name will do)
In Synch
Names that are controversial (in a bad way)
Allah and the Jihadists
Pedophile Junction
Dead Amish Schoolgirls
Oppose our Troops
