There used to be a website - 'Amusingbandnames.com' that had REAL band names- no idea names and only actual bands allowed, they had to be seen advertised or playing somewhere. I loved that site.
Here's some that I remember from it.

Alcoholics Unanimous
Uncle Bob Touched Me
The Bourbon Tabernacle Choir
The Beverly Beerbellies

AHA! I found a similar- but apparently better site. Enjoy!
