OT: Bizarre Band Names

[Jedi Oomodo]

A few months ago, a local radio station was broacasting a list of bizarre names for actual bands in the US. I took the liberty of feverishly writing down as many as I could, and my apologies for not posting this sooner. Some of them have to do with "disgoostink body vunctions" or are otherwise a little bit... "tacky", so consider yourself warned. Without further ado, here we go :

This list is, of course, edited, and I didn't bother to write down some of the more vulgar ones. Being the kind of weirdo that I am, this inspired me to come up with some bands of my own. The following are solely inspired by me, and submitted for your edification, or (insert verb here).

[JimR]

I hesitate to mention that there was a band on the Atlanta scene a few years back called the. . .
Are you ready for this?...
Butthole Surfers

Never went anywhere near a venue they were playing.

[Coinneach]

Oh yeah... here's a few more real ones:

Limp Bizkit
Pen15
-itis
Terrible Jack Dormouse

[Jim March]

The Butthole Surfers always claimed the name was derived from British slang for playing in the surf in a TRUCK INNERTUBE.



Get it? You put your butt in the tube's "butthole" in the middle...

Now, whether or not I believe this is another story .

I actually knew the lead guitar for a local bar band name of "Martha's Merkin". Go look up what a "merkin" really is .

[cobraman]

I was in a band called the Grassy Pancakes.
No Lie. We were even worst than the name sounds. Or how about Pale and the Buckets.

Hey, Corrosion of Conformity is one of a favorite bands!! I mean c'mon, they do a song called "Vote with a Bullet"!
Also you have to love a band with lyrics like "How can I respect your crime, when all you criminals whine??"

"Politics is the control of wealth and power. You are being conditioned to view politics as petty and boring, thus allowing those in power to REMAIN in power.
You are either part of the problem, or part of the solution.
Which side are you ON????" --C.O.C]

Oh yeah.....

"So unleash the dogs, the only solution/Forgive and forget? F*** no, I'm talkin' 'bout a revolution!"

CoC ROCKS, and they're not a bunch of hypocrites like RATM (sorry, George).

[riddleofsteel]

my buds had a country band named...ready?

Buck Naked and the hard ons.

number one original song was:
"Momma cut your toenails cause your tearing up the sheets"

really no joke
did not last though....huh...name wouldn't hold up... go figure

Well I see I am not the only warped one here Kewl!

[ModIMark0]

I remember two unique band names:
Lick the Tins (did an Elvis song on a movie soundtrack)
The Only Alternative and the Other Opportunities (I think it was a local band of Minneapolis in the late 60s-early 70s)

[ModIMark0]

Oh yeah. Forgot another one (an Australian band): The Celibate Rifles

[Medic]

Oops, see below.

While browsing the local music store the other day I happened upon a poster promoting this band.

Nashville *****
http://tor-pw1.attcanada.ca/~rmacisaa/nashville/

And I said to myself.....HHhhhmmmm!?!?!?

------------------
Admit Nothing,

[Coinneach]

Somehow I'm not surprised that they're opening for Motorhead...

[dZ]

i am kinda partial to
Einsturzende Neubauten's
Vanadium-I-Ching http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/er...476062-6141703

[Correia]

I have a friend here in a local band called "Slow children at play."

I've always wanted to name a band "Poison Bubble Hog."

[Mulio Rex]

Coinneach: Im really tired of waiting for the new C.O.C album arent you? Warren Haynes is supposed to do some work on it...
In regards to RATM, they are UNABASHED communists and PROUD of the fact.

Medic: Nashville ***** is BY GOD the best live band Ive EVER heard!!! We are talking honest to god, head stompin', chicken fried,PGA fireball spewin',ass-shakin',sweaty ,sexy/scary CountryPunk-n-Rawk-n-Roll. I saw them at the infamous 321 in Nashville and my eyebrows still havent grown back.
