Band names wot u have been in..

RocknRollDave

Given that they used to display albums in alphabetical order by surname, I always hoped that if I recorded an album under the pseudonym Les Beat, I'd get accidentlly lumped in with Beatles albums and might at least sell a few copies.

JayGee

Any list I could post relating to myself would be short and underwhelming... 

However, looking at my current bandmate's CVs the vocalist, drummer, and bassist can offer: 

Ned Kelly's Bolt-On Goodies,

Amput8[1]

Twice Removed[1] 

with the bassist additionally having some kind of connection with Dogs D'Amour! 

 and, for our other guitarist: 

The Kronstadt Uprising[2] 

Nuclear Anarchy[2]

Sonic Violence[2] 

...which I think makes up for my own shortcomings in this regard. :-)

[1] Both of these featured a lead guitarist and songwriter who was, quite literally legless... 

[2] Well known traditional folk performers. Not...

"The good the bad and the Welshman" is one that seems to be remembered most for me, but also the "Coloured settee band" ( blues 3 piece) ">

McToot

How I now regret having not gigged after the age of 18 - two and a half decades ago - if only for the fun of coming up with some better names. 

Alas all I have is:

Us & Them - mixed teachers/students covers band assembled for one gig in the school arts festival (played in front of 600+, though so it gets in

Naughty Thoughts - the band I put together for the following year's arts festival - 4 gigs

TNT - lamest of names but we were actually OK.  Had a pro drummer who played with the Psycho Surgeons as his main gig but did our rock covers for a laugh

Hamster Overboard - more school shenanigans - mainly busking and impromptu busking gigs...

*sighs*

Here we go:

Baby Seal Target Practice.

Winnie The Pooh's Fan Club - Did one gig where I received a prompt punch to the nose. Blood everywhere.

The Rubber Band - Not my choice of name.

Danger Of Deaf - Not my choice either.

Machine Gun Monkey

It's been a hard road.

So presumably 'Baby Seal Target Practice' and 'Machine Gun Monkey' were you idea?

Baby Seal Target Practice was culled from an article writtle by Rik Emmett, and yes, MGM was mine.

• Crankshaft (my idea) - blues/rock & prog rock
  
• B/euro/cratic WASTE (my idea, with the anarchist circle around the A in waste) - Crankshaft re-formed for a couple of gigs
  
• Nightshade (someone else's idea) - medium weight folk-influenced prog rock
  
• Strange Brew (band decision) - blues/rock much of which had been written or popularised by Eric Clapton. Great fun, and still my best gig
  
• Timeshare (someone else's idea) - naff pop covers in social clubs
• Top Notch Boogie Band/Midnight Hour/Universal Vibe - various names for the "function band" that I quit because they couldn't be Rsed to play any gigs. The first name was my suggestion, thrown out after 3 months in favour of the 2nd, which I went along with quite happily. It got replaced when we discovered another band using the same title in a similar part of the market. The last I couldn't really be bothered with, but I left soon after.

I was in a band called Strange Brew too. Blues/Rock too

Hootsmon

 Finger me arse  - Sunday praise and Worship band

Phil_aka_Pip

@ellangus AFAIK there have been many bands called Strange Brew

I once depped on bass for Wayne Twining at a Magic Mushroom Band gig. That was fun.

I was in a band called "Look at his tie" too. we were shit

Pedestrians Crossing - another school band
Full Circle - the first school band got back together, did a shed load of gigs
Lotty and Olly - acoustic duo with me and a girl singist
Ultra-Sound - short lived band, only me and the drummer were anywhere near professional
Crimson on Silver - current band
