Anyone know any groups or bands with bizarre, odd, quirky or unusual names? It can be from past or present. I'm thinking of a name for my band and the best i can come up with is THEY CAME FROM NOWHERE. Other band names that have made me smile are:
WE WERE PROMISED JETPACKS
RUN FROM ROBOTS
PULLED APART BY HORSES
WE SHOW UP ON RADAR
WEATHER RELATED CAMPING DISASTER
SULTANS OF PING FC
POOH STICKS

YOU'RE FLOATING AWAY, DAVE.
This is thanks to the lines from Dream Theater - Octavarium "Dave's not here" and from Tool - Rosetta Stoned "Like the time Dave floated away".

As an aging punk, you need look no further than that type of music to come up with the following groups, all of whom had relative levels of success despite their band name!
Stiff Little Fingers
Peter and The Test Tube Babies
Flux of Pink Indians
The 4Skins
The Angelic Upstarts
Dead Kennedys
