I had a dream one time that that one of my friends' 40-something dad started a bad metal band called "The Ass Rapers," that was basically, a white power version of S.O.D. This makes sense, because said friends' 40-something dad was constantly spewing out racial slurs. By the time I woke up from said dream, The Ass Rapers had recorded an album called (what else) Raping Ass In The Middle East, which featured the single "Niggers, Spics, and Slant-Eyed Nips."

I found this all to be very disturbing, yet pretty funny.

Some friends of mine had a children's music band, and I wanted to call it the Pedaphools. Nobody bit.

I'm in a band called dasdoublemuslimmachine, which is offensive according to a small gaggle of dimwitted fucks....but there you go.

Bitch Magnet
Vomit Launch
My Dad is Dead
Fuck
Sweet Lickin' Honey Babes (Hampshire College band circa 1989)
Cockpit (all-female Hampshire College band circa 1992)

I also thing The Soundtrack of Our Lives is offensive in a patently maudlin way.

I recently found out that there's a local cover band called Schindler's Fist.

I think Joy Division should get some points for having a name that seems to mean nothing in particular, but is sort of stealthily offensive: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joy_Division_(World_War_II)

Come to think of it, that could be said of Steely Dan too (although their reference is just to a fictional adult toy rather than Nazi sexual slavery). As far as I know, this is the first time that anyone has ever likened Joy Division to Steely Dan. I'm very, very pleased with myself.

A friend of mine coined the band name "The Hmongkeys."

Taken from an old edition of Rocktober :

THE NIGGERS - Seemingly three bands in three different cities (New York/Boston/Detroit) used this ungenteel name. The most prominent band appears to have been the Detroit Niggers, who had a story printed in Creem magazine in 1978 (as part of a larger piece on the Detroit punk scene) and a brief news blurb in Bomp. Both articles had pictures of the band with processed Chuck Berry hairdos and flaunted bare chests. Their songs included "Crazy White Bitch," "Dirty Dogs" and the anthem, "Niggers," and of the band name, members Reno and J.C. Richards explained, "Should we call ourselves The Honkies?" One New York punk legend of our acquaintance suggests that the N.Y. Niggers were "friends" with the late Nancy Spungen, Sid Vicious' doomed girlfriend. They self-released a ridiculously obscure single, "Just Like Dresden" b/w "Headliner" in 1978 as the "N.Y. Niggers." Though there's no picture sleeve, the rough punk sound of the record is Detroit influenced enough to possibly suggest it was the same band transplanted out East. (JP)
