This just reminded me that when Frenzal Rhomb singer and non-bassist Jay Whalley joined semi-comedic punk/metal band Nancy Vandal on bass for one album, he used the name Jason Jasonn Beers in reference to INXS' bassist Garry Gary Beers

This is the first one in this thread that I got chills reading the name. However, somebody has made use of it in the meantime, and it fails to live up to expectations.

Never really got Celibate Rifles. I mean, "celibate" may be the opposite of "sex", but "rifle" is surely not the opposite of "pistol." If that was their point.

Maybe not pertinent to this thread but I went in search of Kurt Vile’s first album at Other Music in ‘08. The clerk who helped me was like, ‘sure, right here,’ and produced an lp by Kurt Weil.

I thought Watt Stalker would be a good name for a very loud metal band with crooner vocals. Sunn O))) and Scott missed a trick there.
Joy Orbison I just can't fathom. It's so pointless, what's the relationship? Is it just that Roy Orbison is 'old timey'? At least Wevie Stonder is supposed to be ridiculous.

I recall coming across a band once called Deflator Mouse. That's pretty funny. It's not a musical pun, per se (though it is a musical pun), but I always liked the band name Shitty Shitty Band Band.

Shitty Shitty Band Band is all-time, have heard they are aptly named though.

ok, "Shitty Shitty Band Band" gets a grin out of me every time I think it
I'm actually listening to them now...kinda not terrible? I was expecting noisy skronk but instead it's kinda skewed Americana or something, alternating male/female vox, reminds me a bit of...Wussy? 31 monthly listeners on Spotify.
