So many more - I've kept a "bad band names" file forever. Thanks to Harlan Ellison for the Snot Vampires.

My quasi-real "band" was called And More. We figured we could tag along and play at nearly any show, because we were on the marquee. Too bad we didn't actually play live much. Recorded a hell of a lot, though.

Band names we never used...
The Nose Leeches
The Copacetics
Lez Catamites
Baby Bane
Pair'O Got Eh!
Armpit Crystal
the Smegmatics
John Galt and his Arrogants
Noun
Leeds Zinger & his Pick-Up Band

REAL band names...
