Sex Bob-Omb, could be a candidate?

This may sound pretty normo, but Spinal Tap is a very funny faux metal band name.

I also liked Mouserat from Parks.

Always fond of “The American Medical Association” from The Illuminatus! Trilogy

and

“The Band with Rocks In” from Discworld

Pixar’s “Buy n’ Large” and “Allinol” are pretty clever.

The Shanty Swing Band

One drunken night in a tiki bar, a bunch of my friends cooked up this idea for a band that was entirely too crazy to ever work, especially with our musical and organizational skills.

The idea was for it to be sort of a folk-metal/jazz fusion thing that played sea shanties.

I feel like it’s also worth mentioning that this idea came about well before COVID when sea shanties had a little moment.

I think by the time we all sobered up the next day we realized it wasn’t going to work, but we sure as hell left the bar that night thinking we were onto something.

Part of the concept also involved a “gun player” who would fire off some blanks from a flintlock pistol, sort of like a budget-friendly 1812 overture because something something pirates.

Regardless of the actual feasibility of this project, I still really dig the name.

Real fake band, like Spinal Tap, The Monkees, and Samurai, or an imaginary fake band like when you just hear a combination of words and think “that would make a great band name?” 🤔

If the latter: The Cool Side of the Pillow (which could possibly even be a real band)

The name for my imaginary band is: The Cuban Sandwich Crisis

But I’ve also got a list of names as I come up with them.

Favorite already taken band name: Youth in Asia

I keep a list of interesting results from word generators used by malspam operators to pad spam they send out (to make them look legitimate). A selection:

“Ghostwolves”

“The Ghost Wolves? That sounds dumb.”

“No ‘the’. Just ‘Ghostwolves’.”
