Rejected Band Names

[Droolbucket]

Over the years, as bands have formed, one of the first orders of business (right after deciding on a preferred brand of beer) is to choose a band name. In my experience, everyone writes down a handful of suggestions, the debate process begins, and one name is chosen.
For some reason, my submissions almost NEVER get chosen. Can't imagine why!:lol: So, here's some of my potential band names that I'll never get to use. Feel free to add to the list.

Harry and the Combovers.

The Windbreakers (we had a few flatulent members in this band.)

The Rick Tile Disfunctions (say it fast.)

The Short Bus Revue

The Mediocres

Drunk Naked Lesbians (we were all guys, and all straight, but it sure would have looked good on the marquee!)

Heinous Anus (again, flatulence problems.)

And my favorite, The Panty Hosers.

Anyone else?

I was in a band that had a guitarist who was a "rack nazi", and another guy who was a "combo junkie". They could never agree, so I suggested that we "meld" them:


the rambo nancies.


(tm)

Let's see.... Not ones I suggested but these have come out in the past.

Huey Lewis' Willy

The Keen Tones

Back in the early 80's I was sitting around one evening helping some mates name their band. We started talking about bands of the day, and two that came up were Men At Work and Men Without Hats ...

...and Men Without Work was born.

Since two of them had recently become involuntarily unemployed, the name was especially appropriate.

[frnjplayer]

Ned Sprung and the Funkys

[Jason Phair]

A band of mine once decided to nix calling ourselves Maker's Mark once the concept of copyright sparked itself in our little brains.


My favourite band name, which we actually used...all chick band except for me. The name? Trick.

[jerryskid]

Convenient Drive Thru

Allota Moolah

The Kimonotones

Greek to You

and my band that played dinner music (my personal favorite):


Steaming Gobs of Maggot Infested Goat Mucus


:Wink:

[pounce]

i did a few songs as "the cavity creeps" before, and i still think it's a funny name.

[gilligan204]

A friend of mine, there band name was "The Reluctant Adults" as they were all pushing 50 + :)

I thought it was a really good name at the time.

Also, my uncle's punk band was called "Blind Drunk"

Excellent !

[ggunn]

Harry and the Combovers.

In my college days (the 70s) I was in a band named Oedipus & the Motherf***ers . Of course, most of the posters advertizing our gigs billed us as "OMF"

[ggunn]

Some years ago I heard of a metal band up east somewhere where the youngest member was in his 60's. They called themselves "Iron Prostate".

[bunnerabb]

Piss Wille and the Avoidables
Bobby Q and the Throbbing Schmoo

Good name for a Beatles tribute band: Rubber Souldiers

If me and droolbucket ever started a band I wouldn't agree to play a single rehearsal until the band was named:


Pee-pee bobbing whappingly up and down

Best name ever for a punk rock band... I saw their van parked at a mini mall...

But back to the topic -- rejected band names.

Well, there is already a Garbage, how about Sewage?

"That was Rat With Butterfly Wings by Sewage."

[Mr. dB]

"That was Rat With Butterfly Wings by Sewage."

There was a reggae band touring my part of the country called "Cess". The singer claimed it was short for "success". Jamaicans and islanders certainly have a unique grasp on the subtleties of English...

I wished him luck swimming in the successpool.

If they did a live album at the Cavern Club, they could name it 'Cess 'Pool.

You wimp!

Should we post THE Rejected Band Name???

(Prolly ought to confer with the other co-con-spirit-or)

[trumpetboy]

A band I was in wanted to call itself Monkey Chow.

Ralston Purina got wind of this and nixed that because they have a product by that name. We ended up calling ourselves, Bedside Manor.

Another band called ourselves Gemini. One night we were puzzled when folks kept asking which one was Jim?

It seems the club owner put on the marque; "Now Appearing - Jim and I".

Years later, a two man guitar group whose leader's name was Jim was looking for a name. I told him about Jim and I. Rejected.

A pseudo-Christian band I was in about twenty years ago was thinking of producing, erm, more secular music under the alias name Leggy Cheese and the Fromunda Band.

That idea never really advanced past the run-it-up-the-flagpole stage, surprisingly.

[Audio~Geek]

My first band was called Terminal Diarrhea
next one was called Hairy Ax Wound, for a few weeks.

I lost my list with the rejected names though.
