Here in South Wales we've got Cliff Rescue and the Helecopters - no kidding.

Biggest band I played in was the Pig's Ear Ceilidh Band - about 10 to 12 players at any one time - and no, we never did make a silk purse.

Luther Wright and the Wrongsis a pretty cool name, and if you haven't heard their bluegrassy remake of The Wall
entitled Rebuild the wall you are in for a total hoot!

Busted Toed Mud Thumpers (did a nice rendition of June Apple down at Sather Gate)

Toxic Schlock (my nephew Dirk's punk garage band).

Morning Glory Sandwich Company (a real business in San Francisco back in the 1960's and an acid rock conglomeration).

Friendly Lettuce

Old and In the Way (vies with Asleep at the Wheel).

The Geyer Street Shieks (local St. Louis group)

and last (and certainly least because it played at one People's Park rally and then no more)

The Mexican Amalgamation Silver Extraction Process and Emiliano Zapata Memorial String Band

(the first part is an actual process using an amalgam of something or another to extract silver from silver ore but I can't remember what it is, maybe mercury?)

At present, I am working with a band called Pagen Babies. We do social activist and unionist centered rants. We need a drummer to replace our electronic metranome with a glich.

A local bluegrass group calls itself the New Panhandle Crabgrass Revival Band. {I may be missing a word or two.} Among my favorite defunct local names were the B Flat Natural Band who later re-formed and became the C Notes.

An Irish group that used to call itself Tideline now calls itself the Taku Gaels.

The high school is gearing up for the annual talent show. My son is in with a friend, a duo of mandolin and fiddle called "Mando-Flynn And Salt". Those are their nicknames at school (Ryan Flynn and Seth Alt). Ryan said that one of the bands that he watched at the audition had a great name. It was an alternative rock band called "Jam Like Jelly".

Oh Lonesome! American Standard is funny as hell, especially when I think of how many I've cleaned!

My bands have always had pretty tame names, but there was Frankie and the Penetrators, a sort of classic rock boozer band. I wasn't alcoholic enough to keep up.

Mooh.

My current band, prior to our current incarnation as the working Blues Band Terraplane, used to enjoy inventing a new name for each gig. We were Rick Slick and the Torsion Bars, The Old Farts, Spooky Vapors and the Ol' Factory Shames, Toad Likker, Jack O'Lantern and the Boogie Men, Blues Lounge Ugly, and lots of others. One of my favorite unused suggestions was American Standard, although Viagra Jones is a close second.
