There are a lot of new bands springing up everyday. And some of them have the craziest names. I recently came across this band which is actually going to be performing in Charlottesville on Monday at the Twisted Branch Tea Bazaar. They’re called The Clarence Thomas Action-Adventure Unit. It definitely grabs one’s attention or at least it grabbed mine. I bet it also makes for an interesting merch table. Try getting that band name on a button or cap.
What’s the craziest name for a band you’ve come across recently? [Let’s keep ‘em clean too. I can only imagine where this could possibly go]

I once had a band with some high school friends called “Steve Buscemis’ ”
If I ever feel up for public ridicule/ruining my future political aspirations, I will share the music.
Revolutionary Side Effects
Hypnotic Clambake
The Band Cover Band Band
Chronicles Of The Landsquid
The Enumclaw Equestrian Bandits’ Bona Fide Funk Revue
My next band will be called The Weasel War Dance.
The “Weasel War Dance”, is a spastic play dance put on by ferrets who get too excited and can’t control themselves.
I think one of my favorite band names of all time was ‘F*ck’. I saw them at Tokyo Rose a number of years ago and they’re really great - they use to be on Matador if they’re still together. Kind of in the same category as bands like Low or Slowdive. I think they’ve got some mp3s up. http://www.f*ck.addr.com/f*ck/news.html

That is funnyyyyyyy
I’ve got two band names for you: (yes these are real)
john cougar concentration camp
the mr. t experience
for better or worse, these names grabbed me the first time i heard them:
someone still loves you boris yeltsin
handsome boy modeling school
never heard of it
volcano, im still excited
what made milwaukee famous
i think anyone trying to name a band should consider the “googleability” of the name. gotta have something that is completely unique among the series of tubes on the interweb. also, if the name doesnt fit the genre or is silly, itll take a lot longer for me to be a fan.
Although famous now, I think the “Yeah, Yeah, Yeah’s,” Tony, Toni, Tone” and “Garbage” should revisit the brainstorming room because there’s more appropriate naming to back their great music. Upon walking out, they should not make the mistake of Greenday’s alias, “Foxboro Hottubs.”
But who am I to say…
i’m partial to the name of my own band (i play the imaginary bass guitar inside of my own head) -
KINKY SALAD
I have a friend that played in a band called “Fingerblaster”. He then moved up to New York to play in a band called “the Frank Staloners”. He’s good.
I knew some kids in a band called “Beaver Trafiic Jam”. (yeah, it’s gross) Then I played in a band called “thred”. Then some other folks and I played in a band called “Dirty Couch All-Stars”. One time, a few folks from all three bands got together and we called it the “Dirty Beaver Thred”. Oh imagery.
