Title: Bands that you would see because of their name.
Post by: Ã¶de on 19 Mar 2007, 17:00: I looked into Wow, Owls! and My Dad Vs. Yours because of their names, and I'm pleased I did.
Title: Re: Bands that you would see because of their name.
Post by: ThePQ4 on 19 Mar 2007, 17:34: 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...

Post by: JediBendu 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.

Post by: camelpimp 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.

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.

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!

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.

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 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.

Post by: chamberk on 30 Mar 2007, 21:05: Cosby has the best name without a doubt, but I think Sudden Infant Dance Syndrome would be more fun to see live.

Post by: Kraze on 13 Apr 2007, 09:25: I checked out Murder By Death because I thought their album "Like The Exorcist, With more Breakdancing" was incredibly hilarious. It was a really good call, as i've seen them live twice and they're one of my favorites, for sure.

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

yes everyone has I am sure. But I actually really like Fuck, well what I have heard.

JIF and the Choosy Moms
Kid Tested, Mother Approved
Dave Thomas, Founder of Wendy's (I used this in another thread to name a Polar Bear, but it makes me laugh so I'm using it again)
The Uh-Oh Spaghetti-Os
E.L.Fudge

I don't know.

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.

jesus christ, the muffs are great!!! next time you see a cheap cd with "the muffs" written on it don't wonder what they sound like... buy it and find out. you'll like it. trust me.
