Machine Gun Fellatio. Man, what an awesome band they were.

Also, the Galvatrons, who I should have been going out to see tonight.

Dude.
What band names aren't weird?
Seriously.

Just think about them for a minute.

paramore isn't weird

If I'm not mistaken, it doesn't even mean anything.
Paramour means "lover," I believe.

I could be mistaken. I'm not into French.

true but its as un-weird as a name will get

 

[TheBlueRabbit]

Always thought Oingo Boingo was a weird name. And, while it wasn't technically a band, there used to be a DJ I knew named Muppetfucker. If I remember correctly, he was contacted and asked to change it.

As far as bands go, anyway.

Yeah something along those lines. Paramore always makes me think of bacteria or something though. It's just got one of those germ-sounding names. IMO anyway.

I don't really get that impression.
Maybe you're just weird.

Maybe

Damn, how do you get banned from an entire Nation?

Where to begin?
The band is comprised of 3 men, 2 women. They started off slowly bringing random members of the opposite sex up onto the stage to "perform" various acts on them, while they performed for the crowd. By the end of the show the stage was a bit more crowded, and very much like a ... clusterfakk. It apparently went against the "Wholesomeness" of the downtown, dive bar show standard and soon after, they were banned from playing in their home country.

Made me laugh. Music wasn't half bad either.

Damn...that shit is insane...

I suppose. Toronto had a weird music scene.

Yeah, that is true. Only been to Toronto once. Had a good time. I'm also the only American I know who can honestly say they were mugged in Canada...don't think about the irony; it'll make the little men in your brain scream and die...

Also about a dozen various punk and ska bands on my media. If your that bothered just go to Fat Wreck's site their all there.

[SmartIdiot]

Cancer Bats, possibly the most awesome band name ever.

 

[ConstantJoe]

A couple of mates of mine started a band that they named "Obscure Essence"

only afterwards did they realise that it meant "Strange Smell" XD

 

[Bulletinmybrain]

Probot.

(This also means for you to go google them, and find a song by them.)

The Number Twelve Looks Like You

That's a twilight zone reference. Supposedly in an episode, the twelfth clone looked like the main character or something.
