More Band Names for Bands I'll Never Form....

Once again, based on the input (and questionable sanity) of my friends and family, I have concocted another list of band names for bands I will never form.

1. Louie Hughus and the Jews - Just thought this one up right now. Don't know why I like it. It would probably work best if at least one member were Jewish, otherwise it might be mistaken as an antisemitic thing.

2. Yankee Doodle Bullshit - Addison suggested this. Actually, he suggested Yankee Doodle Tough Guy Bull Shit, but I shortened it to it's most hilarious parts.

3. The Lesbians - A punk band, but this really only works if they are all (or mostly) men.

4. Wind Machine - This is the name of this fan I've got blowing in my bedroom. Just looks like it would be a good name for a techno-industrial group.

5. Where Dead Angels Lie - Named after a song by the late Jon Nödtveidt of Dissection. This wouldn't be a death/black metal band, but they would specialize in all acoustic + clean vocal renditions of death and black metal songs, including the one for which the band was named. This is actually a serious suggestion: I think it's a cool idea.

6. Powerhead - Some kind of crazy cosmic rock throwback band with a late 70s, early 80s vibe without all the glam rock. Think Monster Magnet visuals with Cathedral attitude and tone.

7. Dr.Y? - I haven't figured out what this band would sound like. They would probably suck.

8. Skankshock - Something like Pigface or RevCo, kind of that dirty industrial-aggro that I like so much.

9. The Elliot Ness Monster - I know what you're thinking: Scottish-themed Celtic-punk rock. No, but that is a terrible idea. Rather, this would be a Chicago style blues-rock band.

10. Thanocrat - Old fashioned blackened death metal, along the lines of Behemoth and Naglfar.

Top Names for Bands I Will Never Form Inspired by Stuff My Friends or I Have Said in the Last Two Months.

In no particular order:

Dr. Oktokock - A harsh techno offering, similar to Psyclon Nine and Combichrist.

The Taints - Obviously a punk band, ala The Sex Pistols or The Cramps.

You Two Hoors - Have no idea what kind of band this would be, but I like the name. I'm thinking some kind of unholy folk music with a really over-the-top Italian theme. Laugh if you get the reference.

Donkey Moses - Yeah, another one I have no idea what they would sound like, but love the name--and picturing the mascot. Go ahead, it's okay: visualize Donkey Moses. Feels good, doesn't it? Now you're going to hell.

A Hollow Shell of Pooky - Based on something my friend Jason said during a DnD game when he replaced his dead bear Pooky with another bear...can't stop laughing about this. I have no idea what the band would sound like but it would probably have a ukulele in it. Is there such a thing as an electric ukulele? If there isn't, someone should invent it.

Crocodile-Ball-Pit-Massacre - Some kind of screamo, splatter-punk or some eclectic mess band like Polkadot Cadaver or The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza. Those are real bands. I am not making those up, I swear to Odin!

Extra Stuff Germanic - eh...this would be a parody of WAY over the top power metal like Hammerfall or early Manowar. Or a parody of slightly less over the top power metal like Dio or later Manowar. Or, an all acoustic Manowar cover band.

Kidnapped by Ninjas - Another punk band, but a little lighter and more on the goody side, like NOFX or Bad Religion.

Decade of Sodomy - Clearly a power-metal band, and by far my favorite on the list. This is based on something either I or my friend Addison said during the same game of DnD where Jason referenced Pooky. This would be similar to Kreator or maybe early Cathedral.

SSRI - This stands for Selective Seretonin Reuptake Inhibitor. It's a kind of anti-depressant. The band would be techno rock like Orgy or Gravity Kills.

The Poxing - Totally random, but this was one of those CAPCHA things that Facebook uses to prove you're not a robot...or at least, not a robot that can read CAPCHA. This was the coolest CAPCHA ever, and I tried to get a screen cap and failed. Anyway, The Poxing would be a throaty, blackened death metal band with a post-apocalyptic theme, like later Napalm Death or Obituary.
