One man orgy

 

I was always quite proud that mates were in band called One Man Orgy.

 

All ugly bastards so the name was quite apt.

 

Cubic Jinx was another good band name. And also had the lead singer/songwriter from OMO in it.

Bananarama

Can you imagine any of them in one direction? Shudder

No idea what their music sounds like, but The Seal Cub Clubbing Club is a good band name.

[PestiRed]

Had a mate in a band called "Suicidal Youth". Told him him it was incredibly pretentious but had to agree when he told me that it was an objective for his music rather than a description

 

Some other friends in a band called ""Shanghai Noodle Factory" which was cool until they told me it was named after a Traffic song

[mrw74]

I'll list a few now.........

 

Disinterested Handjob

Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats

Preschool Tea Party Massacre

The Rampton Release Date

The Rugged Spud

[Baldi]

Jegsy Dodd and the Sons of Harry Cross

[ISeeRed]

I used to live in Melbourne and there was a band knocking around called 'The Fish John West Reject', which always made me smile. Plus a couple of others called 'This Is Serious Mum' (TISM, if you want to YouTube them...) and 'The Von Trapp Family Crisis'...

Get cape, wear cape, fly

Frankie Eisenhower and the shanky skiffle shamrock sextet beat combo (I may have got shamrock and skiffle in the wrong order there)

Funtcase

The Fugs is the best band name ever in my opinion.

Sweary/rude ones are a bit 13 year old aren't they? Puns also have a bit of a limited amusement in my book. A rude pun band name is the equivalent to a TLW forum handle like STEVIEGThEBeSTEVA! .

[General Dryness]

Shy Talk.

Caught by Dwarves.

Slightlydelic.

 

All real bands from round my way years ago.

 

Also love the Oasis cover bands names, Oasish, and No Way Sis.

 

One year at Glastonbury, one of the smaller stages was advertising "Wevie Stunder" and "Earth Wind for Hire".

Pixies is a great band name as well.

 

I was watching an interview with them once, and they explained they used it because it was stupid and didn't really mean anything. One of the guys in the room at the time just said "No, thats not it at all". Wouldn't elaborate as to why. The fuckwit. I would believe the band to be honest.

Junior parker and the house rockers

AC and the dream machine

Night games

I don't get what's good about "The Fugs" and "The Pixies", the names seem pretty boring to me.

I've never really thought about it before. I guess that, for me, what makes the name interesting is that it isn't. Interesting, that is.

 

Given how clever the Pixies lyrics and forceful the music, you would expect them to have something deeper or more thought provoking as a name, to grab peoples interest. Thats why I like it, anyway. That they were willing to say "forget the name, its not important. The music is.".

Well I reckon simple but fine sounding band names are the best, particularly so if they are a little bit apt. I think Fug is an excellent word, so I like the name.

I don't get Hudu's love of Pixies - even though I like the Pixies.

Love is a little strong where the name is concerned, although I certainly love their music.

 

I think its a great name, but as I said I'd never really thought about why.

[Remmie]

The more I think about it the more I think almost all band names are shit. Coldplay? U2? Mumford & Sons?

[razor]

I have always thought The Pixies is amongst the best band names ever. It's the contrast with the music that I like, maybe.

 

I'm sure there was once a thread about it as I defo remember typing those words before.

Coldplay is terrible - doesn't make sense and doesn't sound good.

U2 at least rhymes, can be a bit of word play is open to some graphic design and was a WW2 bomber or something. Nothing too terrible about that.

We're clearly on to ends of a band name appreciation spectrum broheim.
