"Reinforcements" -> "Three and Fourpence"

There is a folk band called The Reinforcements, although unlikely to be a source of confusion I would have thought.

Am I missing a subtle joke here? Soup Dragons exist.

Pub chalkboards are a problem - band names that can be misspelled after being said down a phone line are a problem, band names that are too long are a problem.

Eric and the Dynamos?

Fah Kyu - pubs will always ask how to spell it.

Think "OMPC" is a great name or "Los the Plot"

You are a fortunate man indeed.

I always liked Matt Finish and the Gloss Coats or Dick and his two swingers.

Sorry not very helpful but they always make me laugh.

I quite like The Johnny Was Band?

Right, top contenders at the moment are:

Los Perros
Johnny Was
The Mockingbird Killers
The MK's
Smokin' Joe's*
Sultan Leroy**
The Cuckoo Flyers

or any slight variations thereof ( the bass player like band names with a The in front, that's his only contribution to the debate).Mentally hard to come up with something that hasn't been used in some way.

Any of them conjure up anything for you?  Other than old men playing covers who can't come up with a decent band name. 

Any of them would look good/ terrible on a pub chalk board?

Ikea!! I really shouldn't know that..!

Anyway, er... 

"Chuck and the All Stars"

"Lee & Perrins"

"Reservoir Rocks"

These may make better pub quiz names than band names!

Johnny was as I'm a big SLF fan.

Each of those three names have a capital letter to start with?  Secondly, you need a comma betwixt each of those names, if not a full stop.
