Okay, guys, this is crucial:

would you see a band called "Astronaut Love Triangle"?

hmmm...no

Quote from: strangeparallel on 26 Mar 2007, 21:18

the band anal cunt is fun!!!

I bet it is. Surprisingly, I would see a band names 'anal cunt' just to say I saw them. Same with almost every other band with an odd name in this thread. I dunno know why..I'm the same way with books too...

I looked up Arctic Monkeys because I found out one of their EPs was called "Who the fuck are Arctic Monkeys."

I remember we came up with a load of John Candy band names in gabblers.

I guess we should thank whoever made that 'everything is better when you replace a word with lions' rule that was also on gabbly.
Guys, every band name sounds better when you replace one of the words with the name of the tubby canadian actor, John Candy.
It all started when I wanted to name a band 'Just John Candy'.

JOHN CANDY FROM ABOVE
John Candy, and not you.
You will know us from the trail of John Candy?

I love taking duos and replacing one of the names with 'John Candy' because it makes me think John Candy ATE THE OTHER PERSON!

Long post made short: I would see any band with 'John Candy' in the name.

Rudimentary Penii. They are actually a real band, something in the vein of Oi Polloi or Crass I think? I am not really into all that crusty/anarchopunk stuff, but I hear my housemates talking about it and they have remarkably silly names.

They're a pretty terrible band, Wolfmother. You didn't miss out on much.

I'm definitely a supporter of Panzer Division John Candy though. Freaking awesome.

others:

John Candy in the Northern Sky?

De Misteries dom Candy?

They're not as good as Panzer Division John Candy though.

I like Black Boned Angel though. Good band name. Not hilarious, but quite awesome.

Also: Jesu. Very apt.

A couple years ago I heard about a band called Panic! at the Disco, and thought the name was interesting so I decided to check them out.

Needless to say, I don't buy albums based on the band name anymore

JOHN CANDY CONFESSIONAL

Faker · « **Reply #72 on:** 29 Mar 2007, 03:48 »

Have been meaning to check out 'Get Cape, Wear Cape, Fly' based purely on their name.

Also there is a band called 'We're from Barcelona' who I'd like to check out, this is based purely on a weekend I spent in Barcelona and utterly feel in love with the city.

On a related note, couple of my mates are big into their heavy metal music, met them and their flat-mate in the pub one evening and they had been listening to 'My Dying Bride' before they came out, the flat-mate (a non-metaler) related this to me as "They were listening to some shite called 'My Aborted Child' before they came out." Which I think could be the best black metal band name-ever.

I almost spent $18 on a The Flaming Sideburns album without even listening to it based on their name alone.

I decided against it and promptly forgot they existed until I saw this thread.
