[stringthrough]

You mean Defibrillators?

Yes. Was too lazy to look up the spelling.

I'm probably never going to forgive the singer who turned down Yak Gel.

 

[Ken R]

The Hookers and Blow band. Every guy loved it, every woman hated it. Trying to book the band when a lady was the bar contact was an excersize in futility. We changed the name.

Third Hole Apology
Lord Pork Sword
Suburban Pimp Squad

Hi,

I'm not from anywhere near Athens GA but I actually have heard of Digable Planets...

Here's a band that maybe should've rejected their name, but it's great for shock value and controversy:

Watching this video makes me feel reeeeally old.

I'm going to start a Spice Girls tribute band with my friends. We'll call it Old Spice.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

Here's an idea used by a guitar player I worked with a long time ago. They could not agree on a band name, so they decided they would drop a phone book on the floor so it would open at random. The the band name would be the first name listed on the left page and the last name listed on the right page. The band become Osmett Park.

I was once in a band sort of named after a shopping center. The shopping center was Ogburn Station, but management thought the word Ogburn was to harse so we became Auburn Station.

Electric Mustard. I know someone who wanted this name for his solo project years ago.

This wasn't rejected nor even suggested among my circles, so ya'll are welcome to it:

Tainted Bush Meat

Related to the Ebola outbreak in western Africa. Truly tragic but it does have a nice ring to it.

Riis

 

[moody]

Goatscape

I spent 3 years in a band called Goatscape when I first started playing bass. Circa 2000... Best original band I was ever in.

The only rejected band name I can think of that I don't want to use in a future band is....

mouse plate

windblown combover

 

[Funky Ghost]

Handsome Dan and the Whiskey Midgets - We used that as a band name in High School for a brief time before changing it to Apex... which I hated.

I still think it's a great band name.

Squirrel Damage. The original bass player (BL's brother) got cigarette burns in the family car on a camping trip, and claimed they were caused when a squirrel got in the car and ate crumbs off the car seats.

It was voted down. The only name not vetoed by at least one band member was The Swinging Pussycats, so that stuck.

 

[Bassammich]

years ago my buddy had a band with two guys named mark in it, sooo.....Hairlip Dog!

 

[BassinCT]

Cap'n Cracker & the Crunch

 

[BassinCT]

Carnal Sanders and the Meatmallets

 

[Bodhammer]

Gnome Taint

Rusty and the Speculums
