buffet of misery

This would be great for a Jimmy Buffett cover band -- because he is awful! And I like puns.

That reminds me of

Criminal Antigovernment Love Triangle

Which I also call dibs on. (Via "Rocked By Rape"; thanks to the Evolution Control Committee.)

vapor canopy

although it doesn't shorten very well.

ah yes, rather scatological isn't it. I think that there is quite enough of that kind of thing about already.

"Small, Evil Industry"

Breathing Strawmen
or
Pumping Strawmen

With their debut album "Strawman With A Pulse", naturally.

Pious Patina from here.

Outlaw Beauticians

Of course, I think it would best be a C&W band but I could see an all female punk review as well.

Or just plain "Rigid".

C'mon, if "Tool" or "Prong" can be a band name...

Or Turgid.

From Unheard of Vistas of Progress Await!

Maybe a variation on "fetus fetishist" from Akira's post. Perhaps just plain "fetus fetish."

Caveat Masturbator

Blood-Spurting Chicken Pistol

Would you believe "Tiny Desk Unit" was already a band name?

COLLOIDAL BLUE FERRET BABY KILLER

"goblin-wrought metal"

from here: http://www.grylliade.org/node/937

Fuck band names...this could be an entire genre of heavy metal in itself!

It would have to be Finnish metal.

I know there's Trollhammeren.

(I keep meaning to pick up a Lordi CD; I've liked every track of theirs I've heard.)

Dude, any burrito with Tofu was obviously invented by some fucking northern socialite. "Southwestern" yeah, southwest New York.

Not that it can't be good, but come on.

Children of Broder

Oh, is San Antonio going through one of the Texas Crickesplosions?

Texas Cricklesplosion is a pretty good band name

I've been pondering Blank and the Blanks.

In the age of !!! and +/-, absolutely.

False Flag Occult Attack!

I once came up with "Bed, Beth and Beyond" as a good name for a pr0n film.

Luddite in a Virtual World from myah.

I also had a Trampoline Incident once. It took me six months to heal.

Telepathic Squid from Tucson.

The Functional Uncles.

(Inspired by a conversation about the nature of the relationship my brother and I have to the kids of our cousin.)

oh i'm trying to convince a friend of mine to start a digi-grind tardcore band with me called death camp for cutie

the first single will be called "arbeit mach freibird"

Back when the story about Thai police officers being disciplined by being forced to wear Hello Kitty merchandise was going around, I thought to myself that "Kathoey cops" would be a great name for a glam band.

Davecat. Davecat would make an awesome band name.

Incidentally, this is post #69. *shudder*

Smacky Shudders 69

It's a little long, but it has alliteration.

Davecat would be a jazz group, I think.

"Marx's Carbuncles" or "Remember My Carbuncles!"

This one is great! "Deviancy Amplification Spiral"!

From Reason: Folk Devils and The Moral Panic

"Shapiro is more inclined to use "folk devils," a term sociologist Cohen coined to describe our penchant for singling out villains as the embodiment of a purported threat."

"The term moral panic was popularized by the British sociologist Stanley Cohen in 1972's Folk Devils and Moral Panics. "

dork rage piledriver

as crafted by dhex. First album name: "Crossing the Boobicon"

That reminds me. I don't know if I already mentioned this one, but a guy I used to work with and I came up with a name for our imaginary band:

Host Monkey

First album: Flinging Poo

Gigadeathcrime.

From Iain Banks Look To Windward. ( A Culture novel)

EDIT:

Also, the names of the sentient (war)ships that appear in the Culture are great Band Names also. See:

Nuisance Value
Resistance is Character Building

Well, hier is a list of great ship names from the Culture Novels.

My Band Name: "The Latest Comment in All Forums Is Now (10:32) Mine"

"Exclamation Points Make It Indie", which was my explanation to a friend for the last one.

At that, he suggested "Toxic Megacolon".

teapot shitstorm

This sounds like an opening act for Spinal Tap:

The Nourishing Vomit of Eucamerotus

From a discussion at a science blog here.

(Can't link directly to the reference but it's in the 6th comment down.)

The Sex Curds

All the band names you could ever want: http://www.theagitator.com/2008/01/28/random-rules/

I don't quite get what he means by "Wikipedia's quote randomizer", but I'm going to assume he means the "random page" off wikiquote.org. Let's see...I get "New England Tea Men" (good start!) with their album "Is My Talk On Aristotle" (ecch; "What I Don't Know Isn't Knowledge" would have been a lot better). The album cover does not let itself be copied/linked, but it's an out-of-focus guy reaching for an in-focus floating blue lightbulb (not bad).

EDIT: fixed typo.

Hey, this could be really cool! This could be, like, a thing!

As a lapsed member of the Society of Friends, I must point out that there may be some con-fusion, which in the right hands will lead to hilarity.
