Knew a band in high school called Mister F*** Head
Played bass briefly for a band named Francis
There was another called Carbonite
My cuz’s ska band is called Insatiable.
There’s a local band here called The Adventures of Sh*t Weasle and Mister Gray (5 points for the person who knows the refference).
My first band, who I still occasionally sit in with, is called Mindsprain
Have a folk/irish-scottish-welsh/whatever/whatever-whatever group we call Through Thick and Thistle
There’s a punk (might be Ska actually) band called Sweep The Leg Johnny
I once saw a twin bill with Baby Opaque and the Butthole Surfers.
Buck Naked and the Fleshtones (long-gone? Vancouver band)
Twisted Shiksa (University of Victoria klezmorim)
Les Lost and the Navigators (my jazz / r&b band)
BTW, Hayseed Dixies also do a version of Stairway to Heaven that is… sublime.
If you remember the 60s (and I doubt you do), how about this one:
? and the Mysterians
I understand The Squirrel Nut Zippers are getting back together.

Hayseed Dixie… I hadn’t thought of them for a while. They really are good at what they do. Thanks for reminding me of them. 
Let us not forget The The http://www.rhapsodylive.com/rhapsody/lp-015-af032/kw/the%20the
i’ve always been partial to the name that snake gave our ragtag little
group out in idaho: “the band.”
well, actually, norman and i never really cared much for that name. it’s
just that snake was bigger than both of us – even when i stood on
norman’s shoulders – and we thought it best to just smile weakly and go
along with the snake on most of his ideas.
i learned from all of this that self-preservation is a strong instinct – even
more so than belonging to a group with a cool name. 
I forgot to mention that here in Portland, OR, myself and some of the musicians I play with have been known to play ceilis under the name “The Damned Ceili Band.”
It may already be taken, but Ive always been partial to :
“The D@stardly B@stards”
hmm…might not be as effective if there’ s ladies in the band.
Why not, “The Bastardly Dastards” then?

I got in here late; I had civil engineering friends in college so we named our little garge band “Activated Sludge”. Any working CEs out there want to give a short talk on it?
There were plans to but after their last album (Bedlam Ballroom) I’m not expecting much. Since Maxwell left the band the music took a step backwards and lost it’s “umph” that made it so wonderful in the first place. 
the sons of onan
Oh, I get it! That’s backwards for “the snos of nano”. Brilliant!

“Friendly Proposition”
“Digital Camera”
“Crackers”
All plausible names for a band, I think.
Best wishes,
