Title: Wierd band names
Post by: Blue Kitty on 11 Aug 2005, 14:27
While listening to one of my favorite talk radio shows D&D I heard about some very wierd band names.  I believe one was Albino Toilet Boy.

Well any way I know that other people have heard some wierd band names as well, so list some that you have and maybe list the name of a band you might have wanted to start.

Yeah, but that song has a crazy name and it's on a crazily named album and it's by crazily named band. I've got better track names, but it's the combo effect that makes it a winner.

Edit: For example Don Caballero - In the Abscense of Strong Evidence to the Contrary One May Step Out of the Way of the Charging Bull

Post by: KharBevNor on 13 Aug 2005, 06:42
SikTh's debut album is called 'The Trees are Dead and Dried Out, Wait For Something Wild'. Unfortunately, their track titles are reasonably normal (unlike their lyrics)

Overall as an album, Crotchdusters 'Big Fat Box of Shit' takes some beating:

True Nature of Williams
Big Top Williams
Cain Sings the Blues
Let Me Into Starfish Land
Mr. Indigent Erection
Mammal Sauce
Jogging in Hell
Stars Ingenious Cooter [Live]*
Crotchopus

Especially when you consider that it is a concept album about selling the mysterious 'Mammal Sauce' to a parallel dimension with the aid of dump truck that travels in space and time, driven by an insane pervert called Bill Williams, contains randomly distributed adverts for movies like 'Lets Kill the Dutch' (Eat lead you wooden-shoed bastards!), a section where the band reads their hate-mail, that the music is a random blend of death metal, funk, rap, cock rock, showtunes, synthpop, soft rock, power metal and country, a lot of the lyrics are bizarre gibberish, and that one song actually starts with someone saying 'Dude! Dirty asians who love Jewish dildos is on in exactly 37 seconds, turn the TV on now!'

Oh yes, and one of the band members is a dog.

To make up for it, more weird band names:

Sneaker Pimps
Kill Hannah - which is about the lead singers ex, who broke his heart
Elf Power
Blind Melon
Super Jesus In A Party Hat
Acid Bath
Bucket Full Of Teeth

and the other day my friend sent me a song called 'Dude I fucked your mom last night'

Acid Bath


I've always thought of Acid Bath's name was a brilliant description of their sound and general image. I could just imagine dissolving in a bath of drugs the sound of Paegan Terrorism Tactics. It also fits in with their general thing for serial killers (See 'Acid Bath Vampire' by Macabre)

And if you're going to mention Kill Hannah, what about Killwhitneydead and Killing Miranda? Actually, now I think about  Killing Miranda a lot of goth bands have some pretty bloody wierd names:

My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult
Inkubus Sukkubus
Alien Sex Fiend
Siouxsie and the Banshees
Tones on Tail
Gene Loves Jezebel
Skinny Puppy
Clan of Xymox
Fields of Aplomb

etc.

I'd just kind of got used to them. Also, to be frank, most metal bands have pretty unusual names from the public perspective.
Title: Wierd band names
Post by: Caramac on 13 Aug 2005, 10:35
I used to be in a band called Nemo's in the U-bend, thats pretty weird. And people would mishear it as Negro's which made us sound racists so it probably wasn't such a great name.

Calvin Don’t Jump!
Do Make Say Think
Experimental Dental School
Hair Police
Handsome Boy Modeling School
Meanest Man Contest
Neutral Milk Hotel
The Robot Ate Me
Sex Positions
Smegma
The Tragically Hip
War Against Sleep - this is only weird because when i first saw it i thought it said sheep not sleep and now i always call it that


All in aphabetical order for your viewing pleasure. Yes. I have a thing about weird band names. A friend and I made a list of the top 10 weirdest song titles ever. I'll have to find it.
Title: Wierd band names
Post by: MilkmanDan on 13 Aug 2005, 11:50
The Locust aren't that bad. They just ain't great.

Anyway, Don Caballero are good for silly track names.
The album 'American Don' is a good example:

Fire Back About Your New Baby's Sex
The Peter Criss Jazz
Haven't Lived Afro Pop
You Drink a Lot of Coffee for a Teenager
Ones All Over the Place
I Never Liked You
Details on How to Get ICEMAN on Your License Plate

I would like to join in on the band name / album name / song title competition with this little gem:
Band: The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza
Album: Your Ass Handed To Ya
Song: I Bet Heaven Looks A Lot Like Talledega

Making things even worse, they're not a joke-band, they actually play pretty mean technical hardcore.
And on their self-titled release, they also have the genius song title "Big Pun's not dead because I just saw him at the Krispy Kreme".

Raging Speedhorn


I vaguely know some guys from this band (My bands guitarist is also the vocalist of a band whose guitarist has done collaborations with the singer etc. etc.) and, especially given that half of them are also in Viking Skull, they are just generally bent on pretty ridiculous hard rock excesses. They're the nearest thing to a joke nu metal band the world has.

They used to play Moorhead all the time. They're so much fun!

Also, while I don't really have much to add on the band NAMES part (maybe Gorky's Zygotic Mynci...), I'm kind of suprised no one's said anything about Minus the Bear's song titles.

My Top 6 Minus the Bear Song Titles:
Hey, Wanna Throw Up? Get Me Naked

if you think about it, a Flock of Seagulls was a weird name. It just didn't seem weird because they started out in the 80's.
Title: Wierd band names
Post by: Kai on 20 Aug 2005, 16:08
That's because in the 80's, Poison's hair took up so much room that you could not see the name of the band on the poster nor hear their name spoken. Basically, imagine if the entire planet was covered in insulation material. that's pretty much the 80's.

Most of it is pretty normal... But one band that really got me was a 5 piece named after each band members nick-names. It comes out as:

DAVE DEE DOZY BEAKY MICK & TITCH

Sorry for the caps, but I had to search that on google to make sure I had it right. I couldn't stop laughing everytime they said the bands name. I mean LOOK how long it is! I'm not sure if they're popular or anything but WOW.

I can't believe somebody would give their band a name like that. Those names are all morbid violent and obscene at the same time. It feels like they just killed a little piece of my soul.

I would like to join in on the band name / album name / song title competition with this little gem:
Band: The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza
Album: Your Ass Handed To Ya
Song: I Bet Heaven Looks A Lot Like Talledega

Making things even worse, they're not a joke-band, they actually play pretty mean technical hardcore.
And on their self-titled release, they also have the genius song title "Big Pun's not dead because I just saw him at the Krispy Kreme".


Oh damn. Teh gut hast been busted.

And today, I encountered a band called:
I Can Put My Arm Back On, You Can't.

Man, all the good names are taken. I'll never start a band.

there used to be a band up here in Canada called the Rainbow Butt Monkeys. They played awesome mid 90's Alt rock, fuck songs, catchy riff,ect.

they went on to become the VERY HORRIBLE band Finger 11.

Great Australian band - Machine Gun Fellatio.

MGF have actually become pretty mainstream, one of their songs has been used to promote a themepark.

Anyway, Don Caballero are good for silly track names.

I'm pretty sure Sufjan Stevens wins that one hands down, actually.

Hell yes he does.

He also gets props for writing a ballad about a man who raped and killed young men and hid their dead bodies under his floorboards.

We Will Be Pilots

They're also really, really, really, really, really crap. Easily the worst band I've ever seen live, and I'm counting high-school blink-182 cover bands in that.

I always found the name "Bear vs. Shark" really funny. Picture a bear and a shark fighting to the death, ultimate funny.

Playroll.

Not that weird until you consider it's a dutch band and when pronounced it means the same thing to us as 'A Roll Of Toilet Paper' to you.

Other weird dutch bandnames I know of include Scheldgeweld(lit:Cussing Out Violence), and Anaalkabaal(lit: Anal Noise).

Flogging Molly seems kinda weird to be since Molly was my old dogs name.

Someone on another message board once came up with "Johnny Cemetary and the Necrophiliacs" which I thought was pretty cool but I don't think it really exists(so props to Prophet!)

Quite a few of those names are actual bands, no less.

I have always found Talking Heads and Talk Talk a bit odd, as well as Prefab Sprout.
