pfretrock Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Must have been the early 70s, Hawkwind and The Pink Fairies were sharing a gig or stage and billed in (probably) a NME advert as PinkWind. Don't google it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger2611 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 My mates had an old punk band called "Kipper Trench" They soon changed it to "By Order of the Seven Fat Pigs" which was marginally better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunderpaws Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 [quote name='Rich' timestamp='1431000081' post='2766712'] I thought Scouting For Girls was a play on Baden-Powell's 'Scouting For Boys' book title? It is a dreadfully naff name, admittedly. I swear as much as the next docker, but I detest band names with profanity in them (that Anal C bunch being a a prime example). Trying faaar too hard to be controversial. "Look at us, we're being rude! *snigger*". Oh, grow up. [/quote] Haha. Our band name is Sula Sula which is Latin for Red Footed Booby...

Billy Apple Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 [quote name='Number6' timestamp='1431006875' post='2766833'] The Men They Couldn't Hang has always bugged me big time [/quote] Great band though.

leschirons Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Why do loads of bands of 50 years + musos think that "Dodgy Prostate" or "Midlife Crisis" are clever names? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cameltoe Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 [quote name='Bassmonkey' timestamp='1431012799' post='2766916'] The Killers was nicked from the New Order Crystal video [/quote] Never knew that! Hate the Killers, love that song. There used to be a local band around Cornwall called Marvin and the Gays. I quite liked that though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roland Rock Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 (edited) I always thought that the name U2 was pretty lame. Also there was an indie rock band called 'A'. Quite a cool logo, but impossible to Google. (Actually forget that, just tried its easy - a testament to Google's ever-advancing algorithms) I always liked the name Throbbing Gristle. Also 'Impractical Cockpit' Edited May 8, 2015 by Roland Rock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discreet Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 There's a band currently doing the rounds who never rehearse, don't have songs or a set and improvise for every performance. You've got to admire their balls... they are called Commercial Suicide. You'd have to go a long way to find a band name more appropriate than that!

UglyDog Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 (edited) Many years ago, I was in a band that was very nearly called Dada Bagus (pronounced da-da-ba-GOOSE) -- which roughly translates from Indonesian as 'nice tits'. Before I get chastised for being an offensive old man, I should point out that remarkably the name was suggested and fiercely championed by our [u]female[/u] vocalist.

KingBollock Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 (edited) There was a band called Vaginal Croutons who did a splendid cover of The Littlest Hobo theme tune. I have a live version with the best bass solo ever.
