When I was about 13 I was in a band (I say band, we never played to anyone more than about 3 mates) called 'Deadly Medicine'. Beat that shit.
Since then, 'Our Ghosts' was fairly poor, as was 'Books on Tape'.

The Forensics
lol
?????
http://www.theforensics.net/
sadly, not them
A good 10 years before them!
Poppers
I can't believe I thought it was a good idea.
Next on stage, my former band... 'The Broccoli Garden'
(supported by DisKord Utopia)
DisKord Utopia
has to be one of the worst I've heard.
The single worst being a really bad punky covers band called Ape O' Clock
We opted for 'DisKord Utopia' over 'Perennial Peel Faves'
There was a 90's punk band
called Motherfucking Titty Suckers. I think that takes some beating.
the Bambi-eyed 15yr old bassist for...
The Fireball Piglets
Beachyhead Optimists.
We thought we were so clever.
Slower Than Many Others
which was taken from a wall mural poster thing inside costa coffee. (something about the beans i think) quality
tHE sEXY dEVILS.
but not with the stupid caps
i dont know what that was
we were year 7.....
and i didnt choose it.
my new bands going to be called fenton and the fentonettes or ipso faggots
so it hasnt improved.
Buried Alive
which sounds like a death metal band, but the reality was actually a bunch of 16 year old virgins who did terrible covers of Wild Thing and Highway to Hell.
Buried Alive were a pretty nifty metalcore band
So, close.
Bunnies On Smack
How edgy! How had no-one thought of it before!?
good
one.
Pay No Mind
That one was better, although it was a rock / punk band so when they found out I'd named the band after a Beck song they were none too happy. By that point though it was too late! My evil plan worked!
Kojack and The Longhairs
Mocambo, both consisted of the same band members. We used to practise in the middle of knowhere and still received complaints, mainly from farmers because the cows would graze at one side of the field.
Coma Diablo
Coma Diploma
would have been awesome.
Better Than The Last Act
We played one show. I wonder why...
ADVERT from T.V
great band though ;)
S Club Juniors
Scrofula
The October Revolution
The one I'm in now isn't much better.
Teenage Suicide
..and also Neon Black. Cringeworthy.
Also, a guy once wanted to call a band of ours the Cock-Smoking Masturbators...yewhat?!...safe to say we tossed (badum tschhhh) that one out.
AfterGlow
I still have the pages and pages of logo designs I did. My mate's was the Junkie Babies, which had to be changed to the Jelly Babies when they played at the school.
Rita's Psychic Workshop
along with Cow Dice and The Brothers of Freedom (We were young and had just discovered Guitars and White Lighting pretty much at the same time)
There was a band at my college called Emotional Suffacation and they had a song called 'I have S*** myself'. I think the singer got run over by a bus!
I really wanted to call my first band
Europlum!
shockingly, i was outvoted and we went for Podium instead. phhhrt!
back in the day
I was in Pasture.
jesus.
and then the guitarist wanted to change it to The Beautiful Freaks, even though he didn't like the Eels.
ha!
Hit For Six
Terrible terrible terrible punk band.
Were you Consumed fans?
Visions of the Sublime
It was 1985...
not my own
but can you believe anyone would actually call their band 'looks like rain'?
Electrostasis
Er...yeah...shit name, shit band too...
Purploise
.
J.A.B, Just A Band
A close compatriot of mine's mid-adolescent, grunge-rock three-piece. Wrong in a grammatical sense and an audible sense - cringeworthy.
(If you read this, i have nothing to apologise for :D)
im sure ive posted this before
DISTORTEDD!
Big in Germany
Tres Bien
Dead Men Don't Play Keyboards
How are You?
POWERBAND!
Was pretty bad...
I think
Big In Germany is a pretty top name actually!
Girth
the logo had an extra-long 'H'
inner peace project
stupid,stupid name
I was in...
Chemical Infection
Chocolate Starfish (pre-Limp Bizshit)
Clitris Breath (note - deliberate dropping of the 'o' - why?)
S

I

Strumpet.
We were GASH.
:D :D :D
haha you prick
i wasnt really in that band
I think I might win
1p short of a penny sweet
we liked the fact it abbreviated to '1p soaps'
Ivan Fantastic & the Superheroes.
Charismatic Brian And The Michael Hessletines
^this wins
I hope there wasn't even a Brian in the band.
nope
no Brian!
what a school assembly performance of 20th Century Boy that was....
Bog Eyed Monkey.
Although I wasn't really in the band, just turned up for practice and did vocals for a cover of Goldfinger's 'In My Head.' T-shirts were made as well, although the guitarist now denies them and band's existence.
i still enjoy a hearty chuckle over my band name
Death Threats In The Sand
The Flowerpot Men
said band are still carrying on, sans me.
Also, is it wrong to think that one or two of names listed here are kind of passable?
We were
Cosmic Meeting of the Riverside Ninjas
Penguins Penguins Penguins
We managed a few practices. The guitarist (who i saw for the first time in about 7 years last night) played like Van Halen. We wanted to be the Pixies haha.
Then we changed the name to
Ramp Ahead in a metal/road safety nod.
The Ambassador's Reception
A Fistful of Fingers!
:-/
hush your mouth
that was an awesome name. haha. seriously. i'd use it again.
The College Bastards
Named after a frequently used insult
Anything with 'bastard' in the name
is automatically awesome.
The Ambush Ladies
After someone misheard me saying I was going to see Delays.
Lights At Amber (something to do with Morrissey, fuck knows what)
The Dilletantes
El Nombre :D
!!!
I just found the myspace of my old band I played guitar in.MEGALOLZ!!!
http://www.myspace.com/kojackmocambo
worst demos ever :D
any band that writes a song called "funky town"
is a good band.
Moneyshot
I was an innocent little 16 year old girl whose male bandmates had to explain what the band name meant. We supported the Wildhearts once though
haha
i once joined a band called 'the moneyshots', but i think i only played a couple of gigs with them before i went away to university...
Helium Goldfish
Papa Yam and the Moose
Crazy Jane and the Bishop
The Pete Payne Assortment
.
None of these are a joke. This happened.
this is a brilliant thread
My personal faves so far are:
Big in Germany
Poppers
Moneyshot
and finally
Penguins Penguins Penguins.
Not that far off Tapes n Tapes n Tapes or Cats and Cats and Cats. If it worked for them...
^
Definitely my absolute favourite.
submonkey
if there was a competition for cheesiest band names
YOU WOULD WIN
my band
was called that for a while, really
:
Messiah
Dreamcheesecatcher
pretty awful.
Pipehead
and Kil-joy
Both pretty random :$
I was in some corkers:
First band at 13 = "Chequered Rain". Fuck knows, but it had something to do with my black and white strat copy.
Aged 16: "Penitence" The vocalist wanted to call us 'Angst' but I insisted that it made me think of hormones and acne.
Aged 17: "Soma" Actually not that bad, but sadly taken by other bands now that there are fan sites about us and people asking for a re-release of our EP (3 stars from Terrorizer mag)
Aged 21: 'Magimix'/'Murdoch'/'Jonny and the Boys' - something different each gig. Mostly because they were all so shit.
hmm
Mike Hunt & The Jews
The Arnold Schlong Experiment
Robert
Burn, Spastic, Burn!
actually what am i saying
those were all really good names.
fuck me!
not biblically
Practical Fun & The Now
think we're still up on Myspace or something. It was a holiday romance kinda band with a few Icelandic chaps.
We made page 4 of one of the Chinese national papers... big in China.
elmo and the chihuahuas
Gavrilo Princip
NME-printed and we never recorded a single note. I still have a badge or two somewhere.

Der Stukas
Audio hotfix

The Fireball Piglets

Iscariot's Chariots.
Oh, and Bridgend Bebo Suicide Club. The band I made up 2 minutes ago.
When I was at school
I was in a rap band called "The Chip Barm Posse" - none of us could do a great deal, so we just used to hit the demo button on the keyboard, and rap over that :'(
Tickle My Gooch...
we broke up two years ago 'cuz of Uni 'n' stuff.
But we wudda been huge I tell ya, HUGE.
My mate was in a band called
satans sausage
I was the 'vocalist' in nu-metal band Futile.
We did covers of Korn's 'Blind' and Weezer's "Hash Pipe" (bizarrely), along with various Slipknot and Raging Speedhorn covers...
...for the record, I hated all that shit.
The Succulence
Frantic Fuse
First album - 'Formula For A Universe'
that's right.
Indecision
...we couldn't decide on a name. That said I have consistently been in bands with terrible names such as Canned Peaches, Freaky Badger, Broken Soldier and King Brilliant
Blitz (didn't realize this was a band)
Bad Beat Disco
The Hitchcock Disaster
Hostile 17
Hi! It's Lucy from HR!
i've posted this before but
i was in C.A.T.S. when i was about six, i was the 'drummer'. We didn't have a drumkit though so i just hit things with spoons.
Then at sixteen i was in Kleftbogen (with an umlaut over the o, i don't know how to type those) who were just four nerdy Kraftwerk fans with keyboards and a drum machine. Unfortunately we never recorded anything, we were going to make a documentary about ourselves and then split up. We could have been the proto-Hot Chip.
