I looked into Wow, Owls! and My Dad Vs. Yours because of their names, and I'm pleased I did.

I once picked up a CD by a band called "Naked" that I got for like 25 cents, and was thrilled to find that I actually rather liked them --and! I was suprised to hear their song Mann's Chinese (I think...) on an episode in season 2 of Buffy! ...Yeah...

I also just DL'd an album by a band called "Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly", but I haven't listened to them yet...

Edit: ...So far, they're OK. I like the guy's voice, but...I keep hearing this wood-block, which is kind of distracting, and reminds me of Christopher Walken saying, "Give me more Cowbell!" for some reason...

Is there a band called The Rubber Bitches? I want there to be.

JediBendu · « **Reply #3 on:** 19 Mar 2007, 18:08 »

I usually don't check out bands just because of their name. Unless it was something extremely amazing. Which I haven't come across yet.

I did check out The Dwarves just because I heard about their insane stage shows (though I heard accounts of them might not be entirely truthful.)

I guess that was okay... The Dwarves are alright in small doses.

Whenever I'm trawling for cheap CDs at a particular record store I usually come across one or two albums by The Muffs. I always wonder what they sound like, but I've never investigated further.

My first Mindless Self Indulgence album was given to me by a girlfriend who "saw the name and thought you (I) would like it."

camelpimp · « **Reply #7 on:** 19 Mar 2007, 22:11 »

A girl I knew said that some of her friends came up with the band name Rodney King and the LA Beats, but I don't think they formed the band. Which is severely disappointing. Or the fake band name/family inside joke Thomas and the Gonads. I think that's a pretty spiffy name.

Johnny C · « **Reply #8 on:** 19 Mar 2007, 23:00 »

I like "Wowls" better than "Wow, Owls!" Which I guess is why I want to name a band "Wowls."

BrittanyMarie · « **Reply #9 on:** 20 Mar 2007, 00:13 »

I listened to Fuck because of their name. "These are not my Bongos" is a pretty awesome album title as well. They're okay.

I've always wondered what "Gay for Johnny Depp" sound like, because yeah its an awesome band name

"Misantropical Painforest" was a band I got into because of the name as was "Mortuary Drape"

I've always wanted to make a band called "Acid trip to Asagard".

Ernest · « **Reply #12 on:** 20 Mar 2007, 07:25 »

Lead Zeppelin. Now there's a band I'd see for the name.

I'm going to see a band called Porn on the 27th of April.

This has nothing to do with the fact that they are opening for the fucking Melvins.

I downloaded an album by a band called Tokyo Sex Destruction based off the name. It is pretty sweet, actually.

That wonderful quote comes from a great movie: Heathers. It also has such wonderful phrases as "Fuck me gentle with a chainsaw" and "what's your damage?"

Not quite the same, but I bought "I Am Not Afraid Of You And I Will Beat Your Ass" and "Alabama Ass Whuppin" because of the title.

I've never gone to see a band solely because of their name, but if I ever start a band (never) i will call it Towel Mother Monkeys.

Admiral Ackbar is definitely an awesome band name. It's a Trap! would be both the first album and the first track name. And possibly the last album and last track name, too.

Whats even worse is the people who buy band tee shirts just because they look cool/cool band name. One of the worst cases I've ever seen is this girl was wearing a Sex Pistols tee shirt. She bought it because it said the word 'Sex' on it. She didn't know who the f'ing sex pistols were.

Okay, I think thats just evil...
