coolest band names ever.

[MarcTheRogue]

Cannibal Corpse is pretty sweet, as well as their parody band entitled Cannabis Corpse.

Which is pretty ironic, knowing that Cannibal Corpse does smoke a lot of weed during the writing and touring process, from what I've heard.

I like that one. It reminds me of one I suggested for my old band that we never used. But someone has used it since then: Lassie Loves Garfield

 

[SalmonCubes]

Colonel Claypool's Flying Frog Brigade.
I honestly expect nothing less of him.

A friend of mine suggested The Gang Bang Theory as a band name once.

Another friend of mine is in a band called The Immortals, which I appreciate for it's simplicity.

My favorite "band name generator," names: Forced Inspiration, Typical Octopus, and Ancient Future.

And my personal favorite...I saw a TB thread awhile ago where someone suggested the band name Bipolar Barbies, which had me running to find two other remotely talented females so I could use it for a three-piece punk band.

 

[brotondo]

an old local band called Grady's Ripple

my old band 1/2 Cashed, that ones a funny story

 

[M.Wrenn]

Saw a band called Beer Wolf once. Their set was pretty cool, but I'll be damned if that's not the coolest band name of all time.

 

[Mike Shepard]

Trailer Park Rangers

 

[Spectrum]

For those of you who remember the Dr. Demento show, the group that did the show's theme song was called,

"The Roto Rooter Good Time Christmas Band"

LOL

 

[Melonthief]

Clem Bixby and the Magic Chimps

 

[fishtx]

Mott The Hoople

 

[Fat_Joe]

They promised us jetpacks!
Jefferson Planecrash

I am a way late comer, but In Highschool St. Diablo played with a band by that name fairly regularly. I heard they were getting signed, but no news after that.


And My submission?

Doc Hopper and the Froglegs

 

[TheShape101]

My brother was in a band called "Hector Pickaxe And The Floating Crowbars"! Loved that name.

Another few good names I remember are "Pontius Pilate and The Naildrivers" and "Nothing Like Strauss"!

 

[MarcusPHagen]

Just finished reading through the list, and didn't see these:

Harmonious Wail (an excellent gypsy band)

Hogsnort Rupert & His Famous Porkestra (group that guitarist John Renbourn belonged to early in his career)

The Austin City Lounge Lizards (country parody band)

Reptile Palace Orchestra (Madison, WI - based world music)

Jethro Tull (named after the inventor of the seed drill http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jethro_Tull_(agriculturist))

 

[Jim Carr]

Sonic Wallpaper
Mean Snakes
Pluming in the Early 20th Century

These were real bands...God help and forgive me...

All of the other guys are gone, Jeff THomas, Jim Whittle, Ric Rhode, Tim Duffy, and sort of Dave Howe, Allan Kornhauser (Hi, Allan, you are still here, no?), so many more...ha ha ha!

 

[Vincent P]

Nashville P***y (think kitty cat)

 

[Betrayer_Bass]

Special Guest
