Unfortunate Band Names...

[homesick345]

Dead Kennedys

...and Sirhan Sirhan is also interesting

(Yeah it's a band)

 

[tomkatf]

Free Beer... club owners hated it...

 

[Rocky058]

 

[Fendereedo]

I remember in the UK there was a band called Bum Gravy.... bum in the UK is your a**hole.

 

[Jim622]

Dead Kennedys

I kind of liked that.

The band I am in has the worst name. It is so bad I'm not even going to say it. I came up with like 20 better options for names. But I was outvoted 4-1. I almost quit over it. I still might quit over it. Everyone should just let me come up with all their band names, and they will all be good.

Lol what’s the name, we got to hear this.

As Joe would Say "Come on man!!!" What's the name?

Jimmy Eat World offered it's prescient to understand in advance any acronym your band name makes

I have been told that their original name was “ I ate the sandbox “ and the band is named after one of the members little brothers who was a bit of a human goat.

Cooler minds prevailed, but there was a plan to name the band Clitoris and enter the stage through an elaborate anatomically realistic stage prop.

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned Butt Trumpet or Vaginal Blood Farts.

I have actually seen Butt Trumpet play once, in St. Louis. My friend and I went pretty much because we figured how could a band with that name not be memorable in some way.

They put on a pretty high energy show. We were definitely the amazed bumpkins in that crowd but we had a pretty good time seeing them. LOUD!

I stumbled across a band on Pandora years ago called "Pinky Tuscadero's White Knuckle @$$ F#%k" but with letters not characters. I kinda liked them and even bought an album.

"and even bought an album." That was the idea.

 

[Masmus]

 

[Robert H.]

Dead Kennedys

For those of us who lived through the assassinations, that name stunk.

 

[oregomike]

The Icebergs would have been more subtle.

 

[nvilletele]

I always liked the name Beat Farmers.

Our dumb high school names were Wet Nap, and the Slatterns.

Über Stoopid was another one.

The Beat Farmers is indeed a great name. And a great band.

You might be aware that the band is still performing . . . but under the name The Farmers. Buddy and Dick are gone, and I don't know whatever happened to Rolle, but Jerry Raney remains the keeper of the flame.

The aussie version of the Floaters.... great blues band,too..

 

[P Thought]

Abcess

 

[shobotan]

These guys were awesome.

 

[effzee]

Saw a band or performer name on a poster a while ago and it stuck me. I don't know if was snark or a person's actual name (but I suspect the former)

-> Anita Willie

 

[Kandinskyesque]

Local bands where I grew up:

ITAI ITAI (Japanese for ouch ouch)
VALERIE AND THE WEEK OF WONDERS (after a surreal Czech film about menstruation).
69 IN THE SHADE (say no more!)
