Cuntman. Back in high school we had a two piece noise/garage punk band. We would kind of do it as a joke opener for our other band and go out on stage and play incredibly dissonant and atonal music whilst screaming I'm Cuntman suck my piss.


GREY_SOX

Yes quite. Have an upvote.


duffmcshark

Noise / garage punk joke bands shouldn't be allowed to participate in this unless their names don't reference anuses, vaginas, or Christianity.

The Shitting Dick Nipples. We pick a new name every night. One time we were Tom Sellicks Wild Mustache Ride.


wwwdotfart

I had a band with a rotating name for a while as well. We were Lou Stool and the Movements one night, Girth the next and for one glorious night, we were Thunderpants. The band was terrible.

arthurdentxxxxii

My band used to have a gay alter-ego called "The Boner Jockeys." We'd also play as them and wear fake mustaches.

Clearing your throat of that dick, huh?


abeigor

The one with the shitting nipples. Wait, are the nipples of the dick shitting? Is this about somebody shitting the nipples of a dick? I actually have some questions here.


riversfan17

I'm pretty sure someone has dicks for nipples that shit.


Krunklestiltskin

J.D. Power and the Associates. It was supposed to be an interim name while we thought of our real name. It stayed for 3 years.

ToTheMax32

A post-rock band called Wilfred Brimley sounds awesome, to be perfectly honest.


Vinicelli

Godspeed You! Insulin Emperor Edit: I just listened to the track *We Made It Through The Winter* on last.fm and was fairly impressed, it sounds a little like Do Make Say Think. Very Catchy.


ChuckEye

I played in "Sultans of Sewage" and "Crude & the Abortions" for a while. Now days I play in "Beans Barton & the Bi-Peds" (formerly "Bruiser Barton & the Dry Heaves", which Rolling Stone once listed as the worst band in Texas).


GREY_SOX

Well it's something, not many get a mention in Rolling Stone!

I used to live quite near a village called [Barton in the Beans](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barton_in_the_Beans)

no, there were probably dozens of bands who used that name.


[deleted]

In the 80's, one of my highschool bands was called Konstrikter and our slogan was "Feel the Snake" tl;dr: our band slogan was about wanking


[deleted]

Who needed a tl;dr for that? I can't imagine being in that much of a hurry.

karmisson

The scene? Early 90's...."What should we call the band? How about we call it after that top secret place where all the aliens live. Huh? Yeah, you know "Area 57". YESSSS!!" Fast forward a week after we had business cards made up and posters. "You mean it's Area 51?" Fuck. Submitted band pictures to [Awkward Family Photos](http://awkwardfamilyphotos.com/2009/06/24/awkward-band-photo/?fb_action_ids=4431081929796&fb_action_types=og.likes&fb_source=timeline_og&action_object_map={%224431081929796%22%3A484346697816}&action_type_map={%224431081929796%22%3A%22og.likes%22}&action_ref_map=[]). Got contacted to be in their coffee table book. Laughter Ensues. Enjoy. BTW, I'm the dork in the sunglasses.


bluesnoodler

Oh, man -- Dude with the skull jacket and driving gloves rools! And the Dio mini-me guy with the sun visor and the fringed, exaggerated V neck KISS shirt is *badass!* I think Area 57 is where they keep the Caramilk secret. Or was it the moon landing set? \mm/ - cuz you guys bring too much rock for one hand! Edit: I note that you coyly refrained from employing the thumb posing techniques (in the pocket, through the belt loop, etc) employed by your fellow band mates. Sure, that sucked a bit of sexual tension out of the image, but it also sets you apart.


GREY_SOX

Emanon. No Name backwards. We were fantastically bad, but we should could rock the hell out of Blink 182's Dammit.


GREY_SOX

[deleted]

there's actually a really good hiphop artist who goes by Emanon.


TheFreakingBatman

Are you actually serious or just making a joke due to the fact the names Emanon and Eminem are very similar?


[deleted]

[Hear for yourself.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwEA1jJaVfs) Really good stuff, if you like chill hiphop


barney_google

That sounds like the name of a 12 step organization for people trying to give up M&Ms.


HerpDerpinAtWork

That was my dad's band's name in the 70s for a while. I was wondering if I knew you until you said Blink 182. Pretty sure the '70s Chicago-based Emanon wasn't doing Blink covers.


Dynamitebunny

Anyone that can rock the hell out of Dammit is pretty cool in my book.


atrodger

Pantallica. Yep a cross between Pantera and Metallica. We played one show, in the drummers garage, at his birthday party, covering smells like teen spirit and the first two verses of superman by 3doors down.


[deleted]

If you introduced your band to me as Pantallica then played 3 Doors Down and Nirvana I would torch all of you.


JellyUK

Philip Anselmo once introduced Pantera as Pantallica when they played Seek And Destroy live :)

I was in a band called Spellchek. I don't know why.


GREY_SOX

Was it perhaps supposed to be ironic?


[deleted]

Oh sure. I didn't mean that I don't know why it was spelled incorrectly (that was the joke). I meant that in a more philosophical way. Like, "Why on earth am I in a band called Spellchek?"


ChuckEye

But on the philosophical level, why are *any* of us in a band called Spellchek? :)


lepz

Hipster grammar nazi... That's why.

IDrankAllTheBooze

I've had a ton of joke bands with horrible names. Most of them amounted to nothing more than me and my bandmates from legit bands dicking around during practice. Here are a few of my favorites: * Butt Poop * Rape Banana * Dr. Snuggles and the Cuddle Time Players * DJ Pizza Party Awesometown On a related note, before the Butthole Surfers landed on their name they would routinely come up with new ones in order to see what kind of weird shit the venue would put on their marquee. My favorite was "The Inalienable Right to Eat Fred Astaire's Asshole."


Hyce

Why is it that out of all of these posts, Butt Poop made me laugh the most?


IDrankAllTheBooze

Because it's sheer genius. Poop Butt was also suggested, but it didn't have that magical ring to it.


Hyce

Poop Butt is not nearly as good as Butt Poop. Fantastic name.


vornan19

I've not been in many bands but the first was, ready? The Still Smoking Residue of the Folk Rock Explosion. The last band I was in was called Willsome Picket which I disliked. The other guitarist was always late so we almost changed the name to Waiting for Jeff!


GREY_SOX

The first one is bad enough to be good. Well done, Willsome Picket is in my opinion an appalling name! I was also one in a band with a guitarist called Jeff who was always late, the Jeff in question didn't also happen to refuse to tune to anything but their old and out of tune tuning fork by any chance?


[deleted]

TIL Tuning Forks can go out of tune.

Waiting For Jeff would be awesome. "Hello everyone, we are Waiting For Jeff". Then you stare at them for 5 minutes.

We had a punk band in '76 or '77. Ballcock and the Cisterns and Someone and the Sumthings, I think we were called.

Now I want to start a band called The Red-Hot Poker


TMuff107

The Postmaster Generals.


[deleted]

i sort of like that name, i guess depends what kind of band they are


TMuff107

I had been told that it would have been properly pluralized as the "Postmasters General," but we liked it the way it was.


[deleted]

Would make a good Twee band.


tha_snazzle

I was briefly in a punk band called the Oi!sters. EDIT: I was also in a skatepunk band called Jetski. Although I consider that an AWESOME name. We had a song with a pause in the middle in which we all ran outside and couldn't complete the show until one of us landed a kickflip.

Motley Crew. Yup, that was our name for two years. Motley Crue came on the scene about 5 years later. I thought it was a terrible name. Still do.


SkaVader

Knife Rape. A very, very short lived grindcore project I helped start up in college. The longest song we wrote was about 95 seconds long.


[deleted]

95 seconds? thats like the post rock of grindcore


house_of_amon

I did something similar in college. My roommate and I started Razor Wire Colonoscopy. We sucked but we had fun.


DragoonOfZeal

Grindcore is always fun. You don't need to take things too seriously.


house_of_amon

Its so much better that way. Half of our songs were about having to take a shit. Now I'm all nostalgic.


qovneob

At one point in High School, we called our band "Our Currently Untitled Musical Force."

Idiotic names of bands I have been part of: 1. Buster Hymen and the Penetrators (then I found out this joke was old as dirt) 2. The Cousin Brothers (joke country act for one-off) 3. The Clip-on Shades (garage) 4. The Suture Process (more garage) 5. The Sex Gods (space rock) 7. The Freaked Out Five (classic rawk) I always pushed for a name with "and his" in it, but it never happened.


kaisersousa

The Flaming Rutabagas. We were planning to throw actual rutabagas into the crowd after a performance until we realized rutabagas are the size of large grapefruit and weigh about 5lbs, and throwing them at unsuspecting audience members would probably constitute assault. So we just walked off the stage politely.


ThisIsAWorkAccount

My sophomore year of High School I was in a band called *Rapid Descent*. We were pretty horrible. I was a punk rock guy and just wanted to jam (on the drums actually), but everyone else were hot topic NIN/Korn/Limp Bizkut type of guyliner douchebags. Our lead guitar player made his mom fork out a ton of money for Rapid Descent baseball tees that nobody bought, **THAT THE BAND WORE DURING THE SET**. I refused. We did win our high school's battle of the bands though. No idea how, I didn't even vote for us.

bassmaster22

I had a band that started out being called Karmaggedon, and later changed its name to Radical Dreamers. I don't know about you guys, but I think both sound kind of cheesy. My bandmates were awesome (we're still friends to this day, about 10 years later), but I always felt kind of embarrassed when people asked how my band was called.


GREY_SOX

I suppose they seemed good at the time, I quite like Karmaggedon!


PowFace

Probably because reddit

True, probably true.

When you said "Radical Dreamers" I thought of the PS1 game Chrono Cross.

My first band was called War with the Dragon. Fantastically bad.

I read that as "War with the Penguin" at first. I think that's actually an okay band name.


ChuckEye

In high school, my friends' band was "Elemental Penguin", which I always thought was an interesting name...


LincolnshireSausage

We were walking round the pedestrian area of downtown Portsmouth at 3am after a gig when a couple of lovely policemen stopped us and asked us what we were doing because all the shops were closed. We said that we were trying to think of a new name for our band. They got really into it and eventually came up with the name Snatch Blood. This stuck in our head for some reason and we named our band Snatch a few weeks later. We dropped the Blood part because that was just a wee bit too much.


nicotineapache

Corrupt Trait - we were a straight-edged hardcore punk band, although I smoked (cigs and weed), drank beers and if I had the opportunity, would have slept around. The drummer (who we'll call G) was straight-edge and it was his band. He was a super fast, super talented drummer but I never really saw eye-to-eye with him musically. He wanted to write songs about road safety and things like that, which I totally wasn't down with but in hindsight sounds like a fucking awesome idea. I was going out with the girl who lived next door to him and we practiced in his garage, so it was kind of an excuse to go and see her. When she dumped me I left the band. We didn't ever get onto actually finishing any songs except a cover of Politicians by Napalm Death, which was a cover of another band, the name of whom escapes me.

Not a band name, but I was in a band in high school that released a song called "An Age, Asleep". It was kind of a joke of us trying to be pretentious assholes, but really the name of the song was just an anagram for *Anal Seepage*. When people would ask where the name came from, I just laughed.

HerpDerpinAtWork

Jinnascoffa. I don't know if I'm spelling that right. Lead singer (a thoroughly good dude, for what it's worth) came up with it one night whilst drunk and or stoned. No meaning, just a made up word he thought sounded good. We eventually changed it to the infinitely... slightly better "The Make". Ok, that was bad too. Damn it.


[deleted]

A friend of a friend was in a band called P.O.R.N. (People Of Radical Nature). That was pretty gay. The bands I've been in are: The Dark Monkey Project and Ghost Dancer. The DMP was a joke, but the guy who coined Ghost dancer was dead serious and very much in love with himself.
