Me First & The Gimmie Gimmies
Jimmy Eat World
Crippled Mr Onion
Foo Fighters
Weezer
Drain Bramage
It's Cripple Mr Onion and it's only weird if you haven't read Terry Pratchett.
opps, I knew that was wrong, still a weird name thou
Cripple Mr Onion is cool... from the free demos i heard.
what really suprised me when I got the album is that they are REALLY diverse for me it's more Muse than metal (at least some of the songs)
*Suggests Limp Bizkit as a silly/weird name*
yeah, since I don't buy online I can't get a copy of the album as they don't have runs of it up here.
Looks like I'm missing out on something a little special then I guess? well oneday I maybe able to get the record up here.
Try and find yourself a visa card that you can steal.
Echo take cheques.

I think someone should call there Band 'Echo take Cheques',You'll have your name mentioned in NZMusic's 'Wierd Band names' Thread.
Sorry for my lateral thinking...
//Foo Fighters
a foo fighter was codename for a ufo back in ww2, pilots reported tons back then.
yes I know that
'Near the end of WWII, the U.S. Air Force patrolling German airspace encountered highly maneuverable balls of light in the area between Hagenau in Alsace-Lorraine and Neustadt an der Weinstrasse in the Rhine Valley. These unidentified flying objects came to be referred to as "Foo Fighters", or "Kraut Balls" by those who believed the objects were a secret German weapon'

also Foo 'feu' is french for fire. Just in case people wanted know what it meant.
School of Meat
Mission Gizzard
I'm sure there's more just can't think right now...
//mission gizzard - how are you associated with this band? you seem to plug them/talk about them quite a bit. Are you their manager, or a g/f or a fan or what?
I'm the mother of the drummer, Rowan.
Ummm...nah not really, I can't back that up.
well I met them during rockquest last yr cos my mate jessie was a finalist. We stayed with them in the hotel in chch after the final and got to know them down there. Basically to sum it up I'm pretty good mates with them and went out with 1 for a while after chch. how bout urself?
//I'm the mother of the drummer, Rowan. //
How can you be the mother of Rowan

Pearl Jam
Stone Temple Pilots
Mother Love Bone
that's what nirvana had sussed out of all those seattle bands then? a good name.
mudhoney must be feeling hard done by.
mother love bone is a *really* stupid name.
Yeah, Mother Love Bone is the worst name. Soundgarden is not really up there in the stupidity stakes, and I prolly should have mentioned Temple of the Dog as well. Although maybe that has some cool meaning, as apparently does CH's Temple of Low Men
You should add Love Battery as well
fu manchu
coldplay
queens of the stoneage
phantom planet
the weirder the better.
What would be considered a weird band name anyway i mean there isn't any right or wrong or good/bad name, is Amazon a good name for a bookstore? or Ebay for auctions or monster for a job site they all make no sense at all their weird in one way short and sweet in another so for a band to have a strange name if it's catchy it'll work for them. Coldplay is doing a free show at MSG and who knows if they'd be that well known without a name like that, regardless of where it came from. I also just got some coldplay tickets for their concert i love live music any chance i get to see any band play im there.
"Box Of Fish With Tartare Sauce"? Wow, I remember them. 80s dark goth punk thing from Sydney. They shortened their name to just "Box Of Fish" though, but I guess that's fairly unusual too.
