Seems while we are on the music trend, that a thread on odd band names would be appropriate.

Just a couple of starters:

Exploding White Mice (Adelaide punk band 1980's)
Vanilla Chainsaws
Happy Hate Me Nots
 
I Spit In Your Gravy aka The Quivering Qu*ms aka The Brady Bunch Lawnmower Massacre

Great album "Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables". With some quality songs including "Lets Lynch The Landlord", "Chemical Warfare", "I Kill Children", "Stealing People's Mail", "Ill In The Head", "Kill The Poor" & my favorite "Holiday In Cambodia". Also a great cover of "Viva Las Vegas".

Camper Van Beethoven have one of the alltime great song titles in "Take The Skinheads Bowling" (couldn't be bothered going to the great song names thread to post this).

That was only one name out of the many that Jim Thirlwell used for his Foetus projects. Off memory, there was also You've Got Foetus On Your Breath, Foetus Inc., Phillip And His Foetus Vibrations, Foetus Uber Frisco, Foetus Art Terrorism, The Foetus All Nude Revue, and The Foetus Of Excellence. He's probably used another dozen or so names.

OH, Manorexia is another name used by Thirlwell.

Up until 9/11, there was an American band named I Am The World Trade Centre.

G'day team,

In Adelaide at around the same time as the White Mice there was:

The Mad Turks from Istanbul
Purple Vulture S hit &
Tardis ******is
At the moment there is a great band called C ock and another called Meatray (that only do songs about cooking and eating meat and hating vegetarians).

Someone has already mentioned Gibby Haines and the Butthole Surfers as a name but there album titles were much better, from off the top of my head -
Hairway to Steven
Locust Abortion Technition
Independant Worm Saloon and others I can't think of. Great thread by the way. Thanks for having me.
 
Brady Bunch Lawnmower Massacre! saw them play at the Prince of Wales a couple of times circa 1990

Just looking through the names above I realise I have seen a fair number of the bands mentioned so far:
Exploding White Mice
Vanilla Chainsaws
Happy Hate Me Nots
I Spit In Your Gravy
The Brady Bunch Lawnmower Massacre
Lubricated Goat
Brian Jonestown Massacre
!!!
Butthole Surfers
Turbonegro

I'm beginning to think I'm unusual!

Of the same era, and from the same town, I used to dig The Iron Sheiks a fair bit, too.

There was also another Adelaide band around at the time that I used to love called The Spikes.

Of course, after first dropping the "From Istanbul" part of their name, The Mad Turks (from Istanbul) moved to Melbourne, and the nucleus of the band later became The Ice Cream Hands.

Yeah, cbf listing them all. There's just too many....Foetus Corruptus, Foetus In Excelsis Corruptus Deluxe, Foetus Interruptus, Foetus Under Glass, etc, etc.

Not to mention his other projects.....Steroid Maximus, The Immaculate Consumptive, Flesh Volcano, etc.

Yep. They briefly shortened their name to "I Am The World...", but then soon after returned to playing under their original name. I believe it was actually one of the band member's cancer treatment which has led to their (permanent?) hiatus.

9/11 also bought a similar problem for long-standing Ohio band, The New Bomb Turks.
 
My old band was called 'White Trash, Two Beans and a Heifer'.

It's all good, Trev. It's mostly for Zondor's benefit anyway. He's on a permanent ban from posting gimp masks, and if he found out someone else was allowed to do it, the poor guy would have been devastated.

Either way, a google image search on "Pugent Stench" is quite an eye opener.

Don't forget the "n" in Pungent, trev.

I saw them when they last toured here at the Espy, found them kinda boring actually.

Anyway back on topic.....

Fearless Iranians From Hell
Nazi Bitch and the Jews (NBJ)
Lipcream
Christ on a Crutch
F*ck on the Beach
Dirty Rotten Imbeciles
Millions of Dead Cops
Acid Bath
 
I suppose I should also add the underrated three piece that is:

The Hard Ons

Also:

Lime Spiders
Celibate Rifles
