    putting the R back in crunt was the best slogan i ever saw. but i never actually heard the band crunt's music. it was one of those pre-riotgrrl, smeared makeup bands i think.

    Even though those are legit bands some together some not. My own personal fav that I would come up with would be this one for a 3 piece rock band simply,....

    These bands were from various parts of Australia. I'm not sure if their careers lasted beyond their first week, but I assure you, they were real bands :thumbup:

    John Cougar Concentration Camp

    Rage Against The Washing Machine

    Did I Ask For Fries?

    The Drugs (this band actually got some airplay on Australian radio and made it into Triple J's Hottest 100 about 8 years ago)

    "The" Band: The The
    Animal Band: W.A.S.P.
    WTF?: Steaming Wolf Penis
    Solo Name: Englebert Humperdink
    Honorable Mention: Storm Troopers of Death

    I've always wanted to start a band called "The Frantic Panties". But I'll probably never get around to being musically gifted, so I'm willing to sell the name.
