Ludicrously terrible band names

[John Junk 2.0]

After college I started a band with some friends called My Three Dads (wtf??!!) .

This is a good band name.

Keep in mind, this is well before Mamma Mia came out.

KtB, I love the story for 28 Dollars.  and them going in a pumpkins direction and changing it to 28 Days is perfect/horrible.  They should do a reunion show and the flier should say "28 Days...Later!"

[Turf Out]

Bob Seger

[TL]

I got them a gig playing live on Pat Duncan's through Dave Parasite, whose terribly-named band I was kind of in for a few months when I was at Seton Hall (just a handful of practices, no shows).

O.k. - stop - this is better than any Chinatown reveal - you were in the PARASITES??
Once when Chisel (oh yeah - talk about bad band names - I was in a band called "Chisel" - WTF?) was doing Pat's show, Dave got so mad at me for goofing around on an older song of theirs that apparently "the other guy" had written, that he stormed out of the session and was never all that friendly toward me again!
It's sad - I liked him.
(Parasites - "Pair of Sides," though?  Can we start a bad album title thread?)

yeah, it was only for a little bit, and didn't really go anywhere. That dude could write a pop hook though, I tells ya! The 'other' guy, I believe was the DeeDee character, and I guess they had a falling out after many years together, and now Dave was trying to reform the band. I think he relocated to SF later on and actually got a lineup together.

I gotta give Dave Parasite props for introducing me to wfmu.

another fun fact: the first 'real' show that Common Ground played was at Under the Hut in Olneyville. I do believe that a band called Citizen's Arrest played later in the evening. I bought their 7".

I think a new low may have been reached:

Rectal Thermom&dad

That name took some work to be that bad, so I almost half respect it.

Last night I had the weirdest dream that I was in a GWAR-style shock rock band called Punch, complete with grotesque costumes and a debut album entitled "Spiked!"

While I disagree, my boyfriend wants me to put my fake band name "Bron-coitus" in this thread.


I think it's a GREAT band name, but .....


There was also a short-lived band here in Lincoln called Duran Duran Duran.


I thought that was great, too, but ....

[Shaggy 2 Grote]

Didn't there used to be a band called Sirhan Duran?

[Pat K]

Abe Vigoda.

[courtney]

I've heard of a band called "Du-Du-Ran-Ran-Ran Du-Du-Ran-Ran", too. Don't remember where, though. A dream?

Abe Vigoda.

One o' my bands played with those guys last year. I got an Abe Vigoda shirt with a big drawing of these 2 creeepy-looking kids on the front. I really just wanted a shirt that said "Abe Vigoda". When I wear it I always get a "What the hell is that" look from people.

The music's actually pretty fun and so are the guys.

[<<<<<]

I seem to recall Donna Summer playing Duran Duran Duran a few times.  Pretty great name for an act.  Techno, right?

Abe Vigoda is a pretty cute name too.
