Weirdest name for a band

[Schiann 10]

Two German power metal bands spring to mind: "Chinchilla" and "Custard." Neither really scream \m/ METUUHHLLLL \m/ do they?

 

(Chinchilla I quite like, Custard I can live without.)

[Longcol 604]

Sixties pop band Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich.

[Phanerothyme 12]

70 Policemen In My Kitchen were a favourite

[Sheff2006 10]

How about Grannie? Or Ixthuluh?

 

Sh2006.

[neeeeeeeeeek 10]

Evil Edna's horror toilet.

 

Get's my vote!

[Yog Sothoth 10]

Remember 'Millions of Dead Cops'? They were cool. Or even briefer and older; 'Hideous Bill Gangrene and his Rotting Lumps of Green Flesh'?

[GUZZIOWL 10]

constable zippo and his electric commode band........brilliant innit !!

[slimsid2000 10]

Lance Boil and the Carbuncles always has a nice ring to it I think.

I used to thinkn 'The The' was a good name (and a great one for someone with a stutter)

[tancer 10]

The Eagles of Death Metal is a terrific name. I haven't actually heard them but I instantly think of what Hotel California might sound like if it was covered by Napalm Death.

 

Two of my favourite bands have quirky names:

 

Porcupine Tree

Blue Oyster Cult (must have sounded weird when they first arrived on the scene)

I'm doing some research for the blog and exhibition http://www.queenincornwall.blogspot.com and trying to get hold of members of Constable Zippos Electric Commode Band. They played at a very obscure little club in Truro called PJs where Queen played their first billed gig...
