Weird or Somehow Offensive Band Names

(last edit 08/26/13)
Welcome to my list of weird or somehow offensive band names. It's inspired both by the awesome stuff you see in the Village Voice's club ads under 'alternative' bands, and having played in a million bands myself. This is something I've worked on, added to, over the years(if indeed one could term such efforts 'work'), a bizarre little plant I've watered with my own perhaps equally bizarre imagination. Once in awhile I will even clip a leaf or two--sometimes something is too offensive even for me! But, in any event, all of these band names are, to the best of my knowledge, original- with one noted exception(well, in a minute)The asterisk denotes a band I actually played in. Musical Dystrophy. And the plus sign indicates that it was thought of by someone else- in this case, a friend who played with me in the band Musical Dystrophy. He may not want his name in this blog, but I think he'd want to be noted, nonetheless. So here you go.

Anyway- some of these have also become the names of my tunes. Maybe in the next edit, I'll indicate which of my bandnames went songnameward. (Songnameward? Eh, it works..)Wherever they end up going, if anywhere, they're still all  my "children", odd and misshapen as they may be.

I can also say, with a certain amount of perverse pride, that these bandnames are pretty infamous in certain local musician circles. Had this list up here originally and then moved it to my "musician blog"(http://thebleunote.blogspot.com/ which nobody seems to read), then figured, no , this has a more universal appeal. In this newest edit(on 8/26/13--the birthdate of George Bernard Shaw, for what it's worth)I've eliminated a few--in this case, not because they were offensive so much as boring(gotta get rid of the parsley!)and added 20-something new ones. I approximate because I've already changed my mind about a few--and may even come up with some new ones in this edit.  So-hope you enjoy a few of these, old and new(I'm thinking of starting a Band Name Service--kids, your parents will hate these names!!):
