Imaginary band names ...

[SweetLeftFoot]

Ever been sat enjoying the craic with a few mates and someone comes out with beautiful little phrase and you think 'That'd be a good name for a band'?

Well, here is the thread where you can list them.

Proviso is you must also describe the kind of band it would be. To kick off with a BigFooty inspired one.

The Rugby League Trolls - Straight ahead Aussie pub rock band in the Screaming Jets slash Angels slash Choirboys mould. Denied visas to Victoria on humanitarian grounds. Biggest hits: "Forward Pass At Your Missus" and "West Of The Westest West"

 

[SweetLeftFoot]

A favourite of my mate is the Katie Price inspired -

Jordan's Mongol Baby - Snotty London punk outfit composed of Oxford types trying to be rebellious. Big hit - "Crack Pipe Fanny"

 

[mark73]

Thirty odd foot of grunts.


Oh, hang on...

The thread isn't embarrassing lame band names.

 

[SweetLeftFoot]

LOL. What was that band of tennis players Pat Cash and John McEnroe would convene on Hitler's birthday or whatever it was.

Another band ...

The Winning Streak - Discovered by Molly Meldrum, this band of first round St Kilda draftees who never made it offer a unique, if maudlin take on life. Once had a number one hit single by one sale ages ago. Big hit - 22 Cents In The Dollar.

IIRC they were called The arrogant punchable tosspots.

But don't quote me on that.

Did some Googling. Kinda wish I hadn't.

When Pat plays with his own, errr....posse, it's "The Wild Colonial Boys" or the imaginatively-titled "Pat Cash Band".

However, and this is where it gets truly disturbing, there's a band called "tennislegendsrock". They follow the Legends Tennis circuit and play sideline gigs. This is their line-up....John McEnroe (vocals and guitar), Pat Cash (guitar), Henri Leconte (random shouts), Anders Jarryd (backing vocals), Carl Uwe Steeb and Wayne Ferreira (dancers).

Words fail me.

 

[Mr Reliable]

In his autobiography 'Mac' claims to have had guitar lessons from his friends, including Carlos Santana, Edddie Van Halen, and Stephen Stills and to have jammed with the likes of SRV, Buddy Guy, Joe Cocker and Lars Ulrich of Metallica (whose father was a tennis pro).

Like Pat Cash's uniquely named band, his was called The John McEnroe Band, later changed to the John Smyth Band in honour of his wife. He says, candidly, that when they performed people would throw tennis balls at them and shout encouraging words, such as "You guys suck!"

Clearly when Mac and Pat teamed up it would have been some sort of super group.

I'm predicting there would've been some kind of mass shooting spree. (Minus Billy Birmingham's umpire).

 

[bellzy]

Richy and The Spoons

"Over and Over again", "Blunder", "No Hope", "Why's everybody always picking on me?" and their smash number one hit - "Its the end of the world as we know it".

 

[Mr Reliable]

I always thought 'Not Drowning, Waving' was a pretty funny name for a real band.

 

[RoyalBlue]

Ahh, might be a good time to mention these twats.

****ing talentless, on and off the field.

 

[wombles]

DJ Caroand her big dancefloor hits:

-Relocate or Rot
-My shourches tell me (Big Andy edit)
-I got the creative editing skills, to pay the bills

Why don't you just save the time and attempted creativity and say "Hey everyone, I hate the Australian cricket team!".

Sorry mate, I'm too busy not being a PATRIOT to care.

It actually used to be just a private jam and a bit of fun until promoters got wind of it and tried to make it into some proper event.
