Bad Band Names! Post 'em!

Sign in to disble this ad
In response to the "Choosing a band name" thread, I felt like it would be a good idea to make a running thread of local bands, good or no good, that have really bad or stupid names. Doesn't matter if you are a member of them, were a member, etc. etc.

I'll start with some from Marietta, GA:
Amoebic Dysentery
Antebellum
Thunder x C**t
Axial Discorrelation
Apathetic Discharge
She Came From Above
Mourningstar
Stereochild
B.G.K. [Big Gay Kyle]
The Mandrake Theory
Nice Sweater [this is mine]
The Degenerates

anyone else?

C*ck and Sh*t.

A potential bandname a friend of mine thought of when he was about 12 years old. (sigh)
Another one:

The Mountain Goats.

I'm in a band called Which Way Is Up?

Not the worst name, but definitely not the best.

A potential one for one of my guitarist's side projects:

Yeti Arena.

Not nearly as bad as some of the ones I've mentioned, though.

I was in a band called morningstar (note the lack of a "U").

Now there are two bands here locally that go by one with and one without a "U" after the "O." I should sue!

My first (and finest) band went by ill swive for a spat.

Swive means to fornicate i.e. Sick _ _ _ _?

My drummer wrote it someplace public (college desk somewhere or something) for some reason and someone turned it into "I'll swivel" shortly thereafter. We almost changed it to I'll swivel to for cosmic purposes.

25 years ago in my high school days this was considered pretty offensive: The Stillborns.
I was also in the Convulsions & the Sawed-Off Chili Dogs. Ah, youth...

My own band's name is The Chaos Theory. Our album is called Butterfly Effect. I swear I am more original than my bandmates.

My current cover band is The Vinyl Junkies. I think it's a decent name.

My guitard player wants the name Meat Curtains. Funny if you're 12 years old, sure to offend some women and limit gigs.

Dummer wants to be called Rock Soup. Gee, how creative

I don't want this to be a "my band is.." thread, by the way - I just want to hear laughably bad band names.

Like Anal C*nt.
