Not sure why, but I like "The Dead Milkmen"

Of course, every local bar scene has the pre-requisite "Big Richard" band.  Lame...

Re: THE WEIRDEST BAND NAMES

haha my friend has a band that he has REALLY high hopes for, but the band's not so good. a buddy of his convinced him to name the band Still, so on the old tavern billboard it could read (in 20 years or so wink

Still playing at the local hellhole

or if they placed an ad...

Still looking for a gig

If you spend your life judging people, how will you ever have time to love them ♥

Re: THE WEIRDEST BAND NAMES

I've been in a few bands with wierd names:

'The Third Radiator Along'
'The F*cking B*stards'
'The Not-Rock Blurge Band'

My favourite, though never used, was 'Hideous Meringue', and I did come up with the name 'That Band'

The worst name I ever saw was a local solo singer who called himself 'Matt Silk'. Presumably a painter and decorator during the day? There was also a solo singer/guitarist called 'Carlo Santanna'

Re: THE WEIRDEST BAND NAMES

One from way back that always intrigued me was 'Three Dog Night' I think it stems from a cold night where you have to pull up three dogs to sleep with you to keep warm.

Also friends of mine had a band called 'Cheap for a reason' , it pretty much says it all lol.

As always I hope you enjoy my musical journey as much as I do.

Re: THE WEIRDEST BAND NAMES

As seen on a long forgotten programme - "The Tube" with Jools Holland - they did a special from West Berlin ( how long ago was that ? ) on German punk bands.

One of the bands was called " Die Toten Hosen" - the dead trousers - which I thought was punktastic. I think I saw the same band was still playing a few years ago.

Re: THE WEIRDEST BAND NAMES

There is a local band here in Philly called "Love Seed Mama Jump". I think this is a weird name. Great band tho.

Re: THE WEIRDEST BAND NAMES

one of my bands 1966 [approx] was named ROMFT we seen it on stickers in the local boat club, was only later we found out what it meant, it was a navy saying in those days to join the royal navy you signed up for 12 years. Hence Roll On My F*****g Twelfth. Needless to say we changed the name. I still have a photo taken in 1966 two of the members are still giging .b.

Re: THE WEIRDEST BAND NAMES

Suicidal Tendencies.  GREAT PUNK BAND!!!!!

Keep shreding

Re: THE WEIRDEST BAND NAMES

If you want to pack out a bar, name the band "Free Beer". The local police objected to that name on a sign outside a local bistro.
We named our trio "The Half-Fast Creekers"
We're all sailors with boats in Fly Creek. A bar patron asked me if I was half-fast or half-assed. I replied, "Both."

We pronounce it "Guf Coast".
