Bands I've been in:

Needeep
Stuff
Chunky
The Kitchen Sinkopators
Hamstrung Bones

The latter was after a joke on (I think) Round the Horne referring to Lord Snowdon as Anthony Hamstrung-Bones.

A fave name I know is the Blues band - Cliff Rescue & the Helicopters

The thread Alice refreshed has the Sensitive New Age Cowpersons, I'm pleased to report. The first all female rock group in Oz (in the early 70s) that I heard about was called "Hen's Teeth"; unfortunately they didn't last very long. A couple of years later another all female rock group formed in Sydney, called "The Ovarian Sisters"; I think they lasted 4-5 years.

And, in the late 70s, I occasionally played (and sang the occasional shanty) with "Rum, Buggery and the Lash!" who did a great version of "Running Bare".

Cheers, Rowan

I thought Slim Panatella and the Mellow Virginians were a stroke of genius. There was a punk band in Stafford called Denis Racket and the Noise Boys!

I wouldn't call it a favourite but in the '80s we were in a band called...

Jack Door and The Ravens

and at school, when looking for a 'strong' name for our band we were very nearly...

Caustic Soda and the Bleach Boys

Look in the BS section. I refreshed an old thread about Favorite Band Names.
It's a music thread... don't know why it is in BS.

I badly wanted to call a band I was in Lemming Moran and the Tarts, but I was voted down.

A short-lived effort (but I did like the name) was Macswel's Friends .. you'd have to have met Macswel to appreciate the name. Macswel was a soft toy made by my Mum, with heaps of character.

When I lived in Liverpool in the 60's, the Liverpool Echo ran a competition for names for a pop group, can't remember what won but most unforgettable was 'Snotty and the Nosepickers!'

Well, I haven't given this a ton of thought but I saw a thread posted today by the, "Flying Chaucers," and I thought - wow,
what a great name for a band - so my lot is is cast with the Flying Chaucers; but, what is your favorite band name; and yes, you can list more than one. In fact, you can even put forth a band name that no one has ever used but you think would be a great name.
I always though "Truncheon" would be a great name for a metal band. Have fun. Cheers.
