Good name for a rock band game

Post Reply New Topic

Exactly what it says at the top. One of my favorite humorists, Dave Barry, used to come up with names for rock bands as a running gag in his newspaper columns. So I thought why not make a game out of it? BTW, if you can bring up evidence of actually signed bands with the name suggested, the name is automatically disqualified.
Here's one to start us off:
My Bloody Unicorn

Rags, Gags, and Bodybags

Confused Confucius

Narcoleptic Dogs

Tripswitch Hinterland

There actually has already been a thread on this topic, buried somewhere in the past. It's where I got some of my better band names. The ones I either stole from Dave or created myself include:

Radioactive Tumbleweeds

Blood, Vomit & Seven-Up (trying to describe the taste in my mouth after waking up from oral surgery)

Bacon & Zombies (they make everything better!)

Autistic Rage

Synchroclastic Infindibulum

Zombie Notes (swiped from a tweet from Steve Jackson of SJGames, who was being chided by a coworker for leaving a file just labeled "Zombie Notes". As the coworker noted, that could apply to any one of four or five separate projects there...)

Fecal Occult Blood

It would work better for grindcore/black metal band, but hard rock is fine too.

The Diaper Bombs

Golden Sex Leopards

Tainted Melodies (would be for more or less a melodeath band)
Aetheros (Powermetal)
Kilonazis (Hardcore Punk)
Chaos Transcendent (Would work for either prog, or prog-black metal mix)

the epileptic seizures
the roman numerals
the spastic colons

Minute Parsnip

Bilbo and the Hobbits
Skywatchers

Babies With Scabies
Dry Drowning
Effervescence
In Limerence
Alice and the Smoking Caterpillars

Rampant Decay (would work for Deathmetal/Goregrind)
Shield and Sword, Mind and Sorcery (Power metal obviously)
Antithesis (Could work for Screamo, prog or black metal, but IMO it would work better as a song title.)
Polaris Construct (Prog/Avant-garde)
Neitzsche Paradigm (Prog/Avant-garde)

dave barry's own rock band [with fellow novelist amy tan and 2 other artists whose names escape me now] is called "the rock-bottom remainders" in honor of all their books that get remaindered.

my nephew as a teen was a drummer for a rock band that called itself "toxic waste." if i could name any band, some good names would be-

the wipers - the kiss-offs - rings around uranus - the dingleberries - the dongles - the no names - the secretions - the enzymes - the end times - the blowers - the stinks - the colon cleansers - the hammeroids - the deafeners - the hairy palms - the bayonets - the mean green weenies - the ejaculators - the spasms - the splatters - the girly men - meatus tomorrow - the hybrids - the recalls - the megaherz - the balloon tips - the rentals - the catchers - the leaks - the pull outs - the modems - the dicky tricks - the tumors - the manly girls - the halloweenies - the gropes - the STDs - the magnums - the petabytes -the french ticklers - the residues - the modules - the wrectums - the raptures - the plain brown [w]rappers - the anomalies - the substitutes - the suits - the glands - the wetspots - the meadow muffins - the danglers -
