Best Band Name?

[Ripcom]

After seeing a couple of guys here choosing band names I wondered what are the best band names you've ever seen.

Mine go to:

1. The Dead Greatful.
2. Far Canal.

I'm sure there's more.:D

Some local bands have some real humdinger names:

The Hershey Squirts

The Pissed-off Rednecks

Thought those were catchy and funny.

There was a late 70's -early 80's San Deigo punk band called Johnny Coathanger and the Abortions.

I've always liked "Free Beer". Put that up on the Marquee, and you'll sell out every night!

Or "Beatles Reunion"

Kane

[bassomatic]

I always dug The Swollen Monkeys (the descriptive subtitle in their ads- "German Mexican Jazz" - didn't hurt any).

Bad Brains is a killer, too.

[BIG GINGER GIT]

There's a band gigging around here called The Four Kinnels :D BRILLIANT !!!

[nickt]

clitoris allsorts does it for me.

[Mark Ray]

I thought of this one this week. I don't know where the inspiration came from:

"The Copulatin' Populaturs"

[JGraham]

Camarosmith I wish I had thought of that one. Those guys rock, too!

Somebody mentioned Hostile Amish. They used to play around Cleveland all the time when I was growing up. Great punk band. In addition to the band they would have two or three guys onstage with butter churners.

Third Generation Inbred

[Anders Destium]

A friend of mine plays guitar in a band that's called Roadkill, well they really sound like they've been run over by something :D

[Drunkagain]

I've always thought the Cunning Stunts is a fun one. =)

[bassomatic]

A former once recieved notice in a NYC rag just because of our name - Motley Kristofferson. (It didn't help the turnout much, IIRC).
