I just discovered there is an organ trio (organ, drums, guitar) called...
Organ Freeman.
Not sure if it's possible to do better, but what are your favorite band names?

I think they had to change their name for legal reasons.

side note: "the sons of lee marvin" was actually started as a tongue in cheek society with notable members as tom waits and nick cave (and neil young and iggy pop)
For a short time, Lee Marvin's son "Chris Mavin" was a drummer in my band and was a groomsman for me at my wedding.

Vic Vacuum and the Attachments is one of my favorites. I love coming up with new insane, sick or ridiculous names for bands. Sort of an oddball occasional hobby.

I never heard one note from these guys, pre-digital age but I swear I had a zine dedicated to Christian rock bands back when they were trying to up their game and become somehow relevant to the rest of the world.
Band name: The Martin Luther Experience.
Even nihilists gotta love that one.

My brother used to play Bass in a 3 pice garage band called 'Garage A Trois', although I'm sure there are probably other bands that came up with the same name.
Back in the 90s, there was a band here in town called 'Camarosmith'.

How about the "William Lane Craig" band. The first single will be called "Objective Moral Values and Duties." The nihilists will really love that one! Sorry if I am getting off topic, I just couldn't help myself.

Oh it's time to get off topic but you are now veering into the ol 'Bands I'd like to Exist in a Parallel Universe' topic which I know exists here and in many of the parallel universes of SG101 where each of our bands is the #1 rated band in that (superior) universe.
Actual good band with a cool name The Brian Jonestown Massacre.
Surf version: The Brian Jonestown Massacre Under the Sea.

Nice... I can tell you're very knowledgeable, probably much more so than myself. I do study a lot of William Lane Craig and Hugh Ross. Anyway, let's get back on track. How about "Down to the Felt" for a band name? They could play a lot of casino gigs.

A college friend and I wanted to start a band playing Velvet Underground covers with an Elvis Presley impersonator singing. We were disappointed to find out there really was a band named Velvet Elvis. We were doubly disappointed to find out they weren't a Velvets cover band with an Elvis impersonator.
