Chas Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Since no one's mentioned them yet, Dead Kennedys. Even better, is the band name they inspired : The Dead Kenny G's Some of the guys from that group are also a part of the cleverly-named , Garage-A-Trois.

BeBop Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Was reading a copy of Jazz Magazine from 1976 this morning. At the Davenport, Iowa Jazz Festival, there was a group, "The Sons of Bixes". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim R Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 So, I see this thread, and I think to myself... "OH, I remember this classic. I posted in this thread." Then, I open it, and see that it's been upped just about EVERY year since 2003, and... I didn't post in it, which probably means I never saw it before. Does this ever happen to anybody else out there? Anyway, here's what I would have posted: Wombat Suicide (I only remember the name, not the band, which was "after my time") Yogi Phlegm (the original name of The Sons Of Champlin)... (and I KNOW I've posted that information somewhere around here before). Btw, I always thought of the bear, not the spiritual leader or the yoga practitioner, but I don't actually know which one they had in mind.

BillF Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 My favorite is Half Man Half Biscuit. (There's also a Gil Evans number, "Half Man Half Cookie". Don't know which came first.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christiern Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 It isn't bizarre, it does not make juvenile use of four-letter words, but I have always rather liked The Louisiana Toe Ticklers (and wondered if they ever had plain old, down-to-eart Toe jams). Some might find their music a bit corny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swinging Swede Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Well, there is always Johnny Hates Jazz. And while not a group, there was a guy who took the artist name Various Artists. That may have seemed like a cool idea, but he cannot be easy to find in searches... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Pusey Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 SF in the 60s had some great names. How about Black Shit Puppy farm? or, the Only Alternative and his Other Possibilities? or, Dancing Food and Entertainment?( ok so thats not so weird, but a bloody good name for a band!)

RDK Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 I like the fake band name my buddy came up with over lunch last week: Rape Whistle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miles65 Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 How about Ella Fitz & The Geralds? This was a band in Holland 30 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundog Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Watches & Detectives, a local basement band from my youth. Apparently the name was hit upon when the over-served lead singer forgot the words to "Watching The Detectives" The rest-- as they say is history. Brilliant!

danasgoodstuff Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 As I'm sure I've mentioned before, it has been on occassion my very great pleasure to play with the long-running Portland 'noise band' Smegma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
