Title: 2009 Band Name Time
Post by: KvP on 11 Dec 2009, 13:35: Wheeeeee (http://www.avclub.com/articles/2009-the-year-in-band-names,36204/2/).

I'm mad somebody took Barrio Speedwagon >:[ Also I can find at least two bands I think got their names from Joe's Cafe (http://www.joescafe.com/bands/bands.html).

It's not as good as REO Speedealer anyway.

Predominant Mortification are actually pretty decent, even if the guy does need someone to do better pig squeals. I do love grind band names though. Woohoo Libido Airbag! (http://www.myspace.com/libidoairbag)

trailer park rock

Applies more to Worst Case Ontario.

Black Cock is on there, and so is a band called Fuckshovel. Fuckshovel!

Post by: David_Dovey on 11 Dec 2009, 19:59: I feel sad because I did not know any of the metal bands on the list :(

Also, I approve of the following:

• Nuclear Power Pants
• Afternoon Naps
• The Oi!strs
• Sweet Tooth Meat Tooth
• German Beef Initiative
• Moistboyz
"The Moistboyz are sick and tired of bullshit and candy-coated VH1 girl-rock. They will not appear in panties or women's clothes. The Moistboyz are not spokesmen of the oppressed. They care nothing for causes, marches, or human rights, because 'human rights' are only the communist watering-down of FREEDOM."
• W (aa) Ou W
• John The Raptist
• Fuckshovel
• Stabfuck
• Kittens Ablaze
• Girl Fart
• Calvin And The Shitpunks
• Bier Slüt
Album: Fuck The Superdome

The moral of this story is that I like awful band names, I guess? Or that I don't really take this shit so seriously.

Danananananananananananackroyd is still a fucking crime though.

Post by: Koremora on 11 Dec 2009, 20:33: Nuclear Power Pants are fucking amazing live, btw. Saw them open for Dan Deacon and was blown away. Also, I love Here We Go Magic. :-(

Groovitational Pull

Question: is naming your band after a lyric from a Flight of the Conchords song which is a pastiche of David Bowie the most painfully circa-2008/09 hipster move imaginable?

Post by: Reed on 11 Dec 2009, 20:54: I really think Fuckface Unstoppable is my favorite name of the list.

Post by: valley_parade on 12 Dec 2009, 06:57: I saw As I Lay Awake In Ruin last year.

They were so, so terrible, aside from a Reggie And The Full Effect cover.

Post by: mango lassi on 15 Dec 2009, 20:16: I like the sense of urgency in Pants Pants Pants
Title: Re: 2009 Band Name Time
Post by: Koremora on 15 Dec 2009, 20:22: It's as if they're saying, "If we could have your attention, sir or madam, we would like to point out to you that there ARE pants. In fact, in order to emphasize this point, we will not once, not twice, but THRICE indicate the existence of these objects. Please, let our repetition drive home the point that it is imperative that you recognize that there are pants in the nearby vicinity, or, failing that, elsewhere."
Title: Re: 2009 Band Name Time
Post by: AanAllein on 16 Dec 2009, 00:55: See, that name is fundamentally flawed. The beauty of the word "pants" is in its simplicity. It's a short word, one syllable, kinda funny but also useful, and it has a strong, good sound to it. Each repetition weakens the word! I'm assuming they're only called that because both "Pants" and "Pants Pants" were taken as band names (which is only fitting).

...what about "Pants!"? I would buy an album by that artist.
Title: Re: 2009 Band Name Time
Post by: Nodaisho on 16 Dec 2009, 03:31: I was thinking more that it sounded like someone was panicking because they didn't have any pants.

I was so hoping to like pushmi-pullyu, I liked that book a lot when I was younger. They really aren't anything special, though.

Post by: greenMonkey on 16 Dec 2009, 17:07: My good friend's father is the bassist for Put Down The Muffin. I have their CD somewhere, it's quite ridiculous.

Post by: rynne on 16 Dec 2009, 17:48: Man, Dinowalrus (http://www.myspace.com/dinowalrus) list "Giorgio Morotorhead" as their influence.

This leads me to wonder, why didn't they call themselves Giorgio Morotorhead?!? That's obviously the superior name.
Title: Re: 2009 Band Name Time
Post by: Inlander on 16 Dec 2009, 18:56: There's nothing wrong with the name Dinowalrus that can't be fixed with the judicious placement of an umlaut or two.
Title: Re: 2009 Band Name Time
Post by: imapiratearg on 16 Dec 2009, 21:40: Fuckshovel is the best on this list.

Sadly absent:

Bearquarium
Torpedo Rodeo

Post by: Aegir on 20 Dec 2009, 20:43: When I first heard the Rural Alberta Advantage it was on my friend's satellite radio and the name was cut off so it just said "The Rural Alber" so I thought they were called The Rural Alberts.
Title: Re: 2009 Band Name Time
Post by: JD on 20 Dec 2009, 20:47: I think that's a better name.
Title: Re: 2009 Band Name Time
Post by: Zingoleb on 20 Dec 2009, 23:04: My father was listening to a song called "I Want to Play With Your Poodle". The title was cut short to "I Want to Play With Your Poo".

Post by: glyphic on 22 Dec 2009, 07:28: Superfun Yeah Yeah Rocketship is from near me. I cannot describe the awful. I get that it's ironic or whatever, but I just don't enjoy it. Harrumph!

EDIT:

I don't know if they ever made this list, but BONERSSS (http://www.myspace.com/bonersss) are from nearby and I think that they are fantastic. Maybe there's something wrong with me.
