/Yo Mama's Big Fat Booty Band

Pistol Whipping Party Penguins

What's the recipe for the Capitalist Hippie Complex? They'll tell you:

1.5 oz top shelf Funk

2.0 oz conscious Hip Hop

1.0 oz underground Jazz

Mix with anything

add High Energy Twist

Serve Chill as a Motha farka

I understand that Blender hosts the music page, but subby deserves a cockpunch for using the term "awesomely bad".

/oh yeah, and TFA was amusing

I have sort of a one-off gig for New Years with a pick-up band of sorts.

Any name suggestions? (Must be something that could be advertised.)

yeah, that's nothing.
check out some good old fashioned grindcore, crust or d-beat.

"...yeah, gotta get me some of that anal coont..."
--josh.

(by the way, anal coont IS a real band)

I actually quite like "Tigers Can Bite You" as a name. It's amusing, and also informative.

among some of the more interesting band names I've heard of

3 Car Pile-Up, Alien Chain, The Almost, Argyle Park, Believable Picnic, Big Dog Small Fence, Blenderhead, the Bubblebaby Experience,the Deep Fried Caffine Aardvarks, Fatal Blast Whip, Face Blaze, the Flaming Tongues, Genetic Wuz, Ghoti Hook, Hot Pink Turtle, KLANK, Leaderdogs for the Blind, Lugnut, Mad at the World, Noggintoboggin, Ninety Pound Wuss, One Bad Pig, Pass a Fist, Raving Loonatics, Room Full of Walters, Spud Puddle, and Value Pac,

argh, I'm so glad they mentioned shout outX4. that name enrages me beyond words.

They're missing the "godawful ska bands who incorporate the word 'ska' into their name, usually as a horrible pun" category.

Several years ago, my brother was in a band called Love Gravy.

/Mom was so proud.

ah, "dance me pregnant," from right here in omaha.

Skwisgaar Skwigelf is not impressed.

JessicaRaven: among some of the more interesting band names I've heard of
Argyle Park

Hell yeah... I loved Argyle Park. I still have their cd somewhere.

Surprised I didn't see Polkadot Cadaver on there... I love their music, and I dig the name, but it seems like it would fit the list.

Job For A Cowboy was the only name I recognized.

And I love the name Dead Kenny G's.

I love lists like this, always fun to see what people have come up with for band names. One of my faves from the past is Ed's Redeeming Qualities.

Gibby, how about The Aristocrats?

Haha, Hectic13th, AC is a classic band. I think we can all fill in the acronym. I'm surprised they didn't mention the local but fairly prominent band, Two Dead Sluts, one Good Fu*k. Also, I nominate every MTV-worshipping "emo" band for having a horrible name. Seriously, prove me wrong. The older bands like Moss Icon had the brains to pull off their inscrutable and multisyllabic song titles, but these new supposed heirs both are failing miserably at "introspection," and have extended the practice to band names.

I think "I Hate Myself" started this as a parody on emo scene self-deprecation, and these new bands like "I would set myself on fire for you" recycled it deadpan serious. Ugh.

hecticthe13th: yeah, that's nothing.

Their singer, Seth Putnam, accosted me just over a year ago at the Touch & Go 25th and demanded that I give him some cocaine, as I was once in a band that played a handful of shows in flyover country with them. True story.

I have never, in my life, possessed cocaine.

Anyway, Killgasm is a good band, and that is a seriously great band name.

Awww... Job for a Cowboy is a fine name, and it can be shortened to the metal worthy JFAC.

Dead Monkeys are to split up again, according to their manager, Lefty Goldblatt. They've been in the business now ten years, nine as other groups. Originally the Dead Salmon, they became for a while, Trout. Then Fried Trout, then Poached Trout In A White Wine Sauce, and finally, Herring. Splitting up for nearly a month, the re-formed as Red Herring, which became Dead Herring for a while, and then Dead Loss, which reflected the current state of the group. Splitting up again to get their heads together, they reformed a fortnight later as Heads Together, a tight little name which lasted them through a difficult period when their drummer was suspected of suffering from death. It turned out to be only a rumor and they became Dead Together, then Dead Gear, which lead to Dead Donkeys, Lead Donkeys, and the inevitable split up. After nearly ten days, they reformed again as Sole Manier, then Dead Sole, Rock Cod, Turbot, Haddock, White Baith, the Places, Fish, Bream, Mackerel, Salmon, Poached Salmon, Poached Salmon In A White Wine Sauce, Salmon-monia, and Helen Shapiro. This last name, their favorite, had to be dropped following an injunction and they split up again. When they reformed after a recordbreaking two days, they ditched the fishy references and became Dead Monkeys, a name which they stuck with for the rest of their careers. Now, a fortnight later, they've finally split up.
