Good bands with bad names.
22There's a Madison band that goes by the name of "Tangy."
This band is led by a great guy and excellent musician and songwriter. Their record is a great, cheaply-produced gem of basement-recorded pop songcraft, filled with fun flourishes like synth, weird samples, and off-kilter percussion. When we played with them live, they were a lean, mean three-piece and the songs, stripped down to guitar, bass, and drums, still completely killed. They were fantastic.
But their name is "Tangy," and for this i have given them no end of shit. This name, "Tangy," she is atrocious. "Tangy" is maybe the most glaring combination of excellent, kick-ass band and absolutely shit-scrapingly bottom-feeding terrible band name i have ever witnessed.

Really? I like this band name a lot! When I heard it the first time, I wished I'd thought of it.

This band name would be plenty stupid without the question mark, but the question mark makes the band name so much more embarrassing. It's the damndest thing.

24Trying to get my friends excited about a band called Bottomless Pit is proving to be impossible. It's a lumpen expression. It doesn't look good on paper and it's not fun to say. Great, great band though.
Archers of Loaf is the best example thusfar. Can't believe that didn't occur to me.

I agree on this one. Makes you expect some sort of Jimmy Buffet kind of thing... of course, The Flying Burrito Brothers are pretty great. Shame about the name, though.
