xilddx Posted July 2, 2013 Author Posted July 2, 2013 (edited) My first band was called 'Our Parrot'. Our only gig was a jam in a Welsh village. No-one came. Edited July 2, 2013 by xilddx Quote

Roger2611 Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 My first band was "Private Party" as that was the most common listing in the gig section of the much missed Melody Maker magazine, someone older and wiser did point out that no one would actually know where you were playing! After that the names became far more sensible "Kipper Trench" and "By Order of the Seven Fat Pigs" were two all too brief encounters Quote

jmchich Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 MDC is another strange band. Variously standing for Millions of Dead Cops, Multi Death Corporation, Millions of Damn Christians, Millions of Dead Children... Quote
BassTractor Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 Don't know about [i]dumbest[/i], but a band here called themselves Pope, and probably wondered why people couldn't find them on the web. Changed their music a bit and were renamed Strange Days, after a certain unknown album. Yup, they're a lot easier to find these days. Not. Personally I don't get this. best, bert Quote
kevin_lindsay Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 I've done gigs with some rather oddly named acts supporting us. Worst ones (both in name and "musical" content) were: The Donkey Spoke - sounds like some odd bike accessory. Churn - sounds like a grind band, or a bunch of folkies, but were in fact a christian rock group (who were absolutely sh*te!!) And then there was this bunch (no explanation needed as to why they were awful) Darkie Quote

jmchich Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 "tumbler" meaning what? Someone who falls over a lot? A drinking glass? Quote
braybrooke Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 The Devil Wears Prada is one of my favourite bands. Maybe home boy should checkout some of those bands before saying their names are stupid. Quote
jmchich Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 "Please note we aren't saying these bands suck, just their names." Perhaps another "homeboy" should read the blurb before commenting. Quote
Stan_da_man Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 [quote name='bartelby' timestamp='1372771709' post='2129709'] I saw them a couple of times. Most memorable gig was them supporting Godflesh at the General Wolfe. [/quote] Sad to say it has closed down now. Quote

jmchich Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 "Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde" has gotta be up there with stupid band names Quote

They were very different to Dirtbox, being more Hair Metal. I used to work with their guitarist and got on well with the rest of the band, yet I can't remember any of their surnames and I would love to see if I could find out what happened to them, especially the guitarist, Graham, he was incredibly talented.

Jonesy64 Posted July 20, 2013 Posted July 20, 2013 Somebody mentioned K*nt And The Gang earlier....they played a gig recently in Nottingham on the same bill as Arse Full Of Chips. I can't decided whether that's a dumb name or a great one! Quote
Lowender Posted July 20, 2013 Posted July 20, 2013 Wow, that was a really stupid article -- from a magazine with a really dumb name. Quote
iconic Posted July 20, 2013 Posted July 20, 2013 My favorite band....The The.....obviously a pre-internet name! Quote
