Butt Trumpet.. which i bought just cause of the name.. ended up having a damn good song on it:) I bought "Fudge Tunnel's First Movement" for the band name & title. Wish I still had it.

JTrainDowntown Joined: Mar 03, 2007 Posts: 15 Cleveland, Ohio	Posted on Dec 03 2008 05:43 PM I always thought the name "Hot Potty" was odd. The name I hate worst for a band is "Chairlift." I can't explain why, I know other people don't think it's that big of a deal. But I hate it. Top
WaveOhhh Joined: Apr 24, 2006 Posts: 236 Plantation, FL	Posted on Dec 03 2008 07:04 PM OK, here some poor taste ones I saw from back in the bad old 80's: Human Cargo Elvis Hitler and the Nashville Nazis The Toxic Shocks Barney Rubble and the Cut Stubble...... yes, I saw that one with out the on a marquee in Asbury Park, NJ, and nearly drove of the road for a double take. Yeech, Bill Moffat — What day is Surf Rock's birthday? Looks like Surf Rock and I was born the same year. Maybe we are both Libras? Top

Double-Crown-Records Joined: Feb 27, 2006 Posts: 1221	Posted on Dec 05 2008 05:03 PM I think the worst, in my mind, is Anl Cnt, without the 's of course. There was once a SubPop band called Fck - I guess someone had to do it, but I think you're doomed from the start with a name like that. Echo & The Bunnymen is a weird name, but one of my favorite bands of all time. When you really think about it though - all band names are kinda weird in one way or another. I mean, what the heck's a "Coldplay"? — Sean Double Crown Records www.doublecrownrecords.com Surf CD's / Vinyl / Fanzines / DVD's The Desolate Coast - Without A Planet CD Hipbone Slim aka Sir Bald - Wiggin' Out With CD Continental Magazine - Issue #36 w/21 Song CD Top
CaptainSpringfield Joined: Feb 26, 2006 Posts: 4387 Under the Sun	Posted on Dec 05 2008 06:48 PM If we're talking worst in the non-offensive sense, then about 95% of the names suggested in the various name threads here would almost certainly qualify. Double-Crown-Records I mean, what the heck's a "Coldplay"? It's English for "boring as hell." -Warren — That was excessively violent and completely unnecessary. I loved it. Top
MikeG Joined: Mar 29, 2006 Posts: 309 Springfield, Oregon	Posted on Dec 06 2008 01:09 PM I knew a girl in Phoenix who was in a female punk band called the Putrid Girls. Her stage name was Donna Rhea, and her brother was in a punk band called The Very Idea of F@cking Hitler. I used to wonder about their childhood. Top

big_papu Joined: May 17, 2006 Posts: 657 Buenos Aires	Posted on Feb 02 2009 08:58 PM the worst name I hear is from an argentinian punk band called LICOR DE SEMEN (Liquor of semen) — El Papu & los Fantasticos Reverberantes Top
seafoam_johnny Joined: Jul 27, 2007 Posts: 1099 4 faces. (Where the buffalo roam)	Posted on Feb 02 2009 09:02 PM I must be getting old as I thought the "Electric Prunes" was a bizarre name for a band. I mean don't most of us old pharts equate prunes/juice with diarrhea? Ol' Phartz..Hmmm Top

There was in a band in the 60's called the "Human Beinz". They remained obscure and unknown too. http://www.thecalicowall.com/rev60s/garage.html — (defunct) Thee Jaguar Sharks Plus!

Killers_From_Space Joined: Dec 04, 2006 Posts: 131	Posted on Feb 03 2009 10:37 AM I always thought "Satans Pilgrims" and "Bambi Molesters" were unusual names for a surf band. I am a major fan of both however. — https://www.facebook.com/killersfromspaceband http://www.atomicmosquitos.com/ Top
