the only way that dude could be "unironic" is if he literally was a special ed student from 1986 instead of just dressing like one

wet assed band with a table of xmas presents called beaty heart supporting teengirl fantasy on friday is a better name.

i used to play in a metal band named after Zuul from Ghostbusters and i just realized this thread should make me feel a little guilty about that

BLEAK END AT BERNIES
KEENAN IVORY WAVES

Fetchboy, Sunday, 27 February 2011 15:17 (thirteen years ago) link

The Zuul thing is forgivable. A pretty awesome metal name, btw.

Telephoneface (Adam Bruneau), Sunday, 27 February 2011 17:09 (thirteen years ago) link

haha thanks! we were always pretty psyched about the name tbh, and it fit the kind of silly/evil thing we were going for.

some dude, Sunday, 27 February 2011 17:23 (thirteen years ago) link

bleak end at bernies is kinda lol tbh

Personal and the Pizzas

Personal and the Pizzas

i really love this name

aluminium fail (electricsound), Thursday, 14 April 2011 03:44 (thirteen years ago) link

have you actually heard Personal and the Pizzas? Pretty sure they're not chillwave or sound like Animal Collective!

sarahel, Thursday, 14 April 2011 03:56 (thirteen years ago) link

I might pick up the new personal and the pizzas single for you. The a side is great. The b side is basically "I wanna be your boyfriend" with a dollop of "do you want to know a secret?"

jesus

some dude, Thursday, 14 April 2011 14:35 (thirteen years ago) link

is it really too much to ask for bands to come up with names that make me hate them before i've heard a note of their music

some dude, Thursday, 14 April 2011 14:35 (thirteen years ago) link

Snuffaluffagus is eternal!

sarahel, Thursday, 14 April 2011 15:59 (thirteen years ago) link

The name is even more awful because the Sesame Street character is Snuffleupagus, not Snuffaluffagus.

'what are you, the Hymen Protection League of America?' (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Thursday, 14 April 2011 16:01 (thirteen years ago) link

Maybe not ephemera, but is Dutch Uncles the least appealing name for a band on the planet?

maybe that's their clever copyright infringement dodge

some dude, Thursday, 14 April 2011 16:24 (thirteen years ago) link

dog latin, you must live a very charmed life for you to even think that!

sarahel, Thursday, 14 April 2011 16:24 (thirteen years ago) link

If I were them I wouldn't really worry about getting popular enough to have that be an issue, but I guess. Still awful though.

No dude, it's just that there are dozens of threads for contemptible band names, this one, which you started, is more specific ... and Personal and the Pizzas does not fit!

sarahel, Thursday, 14 April 2011 16:57 (thirteen years ago) link

I think most people of our gen have 80s/nostalgic/childhood associations when they head the phrase "Personal Pizza" (ie, the Pizza Hut Personal Pan Pizza, which you probably shouldn't eat if you are over the age of 12).

livin' la vida Moka! (Whiney G. Weingarten), Thursday, 14 April 2011 17:03 (thirteen years ago) link

Is that on the menu at Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bells?

sarahel, Thursday, 14 April 2011 17:08 (thirteen years ago) link

is this gonna be like when you insisted most twentysomethings think of actual ducks' tails when they hear the phrase "Ducktails"

livin' la vida Moka! (Whiney G. Weingarten), Thursday, 14 April 2011 17:09 (thirteen years ago) link

that wasn't me, i don't think?

sarahel, Thursday, 14 April 2011 17:09 (thirteen years ago) link

Space Lions In Outer Space is not a reference to anything and is just a terrible name, thoguh, right?

some dude, Thursday, 14 April 2011 17:11 (thirteen years ago) link

unless it's an oblique reference to the 1992 They Might Be Giants single "The Guitar (The Lion Sleeps Tonight)"

i suggested that 20-somethings that didn't grow up in America might not be familiar with the cartoon.

sarahel, Thursday, 14 April 2011 17:25 (thirteen years ago) link

Personal and the Pizzas is such an awesome band name.

Telephoneface (Adam Bruneau), Thursday, 14 April 2011 20:51 (thirteen years ago) link

Any reference to Pizza Hut personal pizzas are worthless without an included nod to the Book It! program:

i thought pizza punk was a termbo thing

flopson, Thursday, 14 April 2011 20:59 (thirteen years ago) link

They're certainly a termbo band.

bamcquern, Thursday, 14 April 2011 22:18 (thirteen years ago) link

Universal Studios Florida played at a Laser Dome last night. With a band named Beat Connection. Like the LCD Soundsystem song. '00s ephemera already!

like a musical album. made by a band. (fucking in the streets), Thursday, 14 April 2011 23:07 (thirteen years ago) link

It's better than Dutch Oven.

Hideous Lump, Friday, 15 April 2011 02:58 (thirteen years ago) link

This probably isn't the right thread, but these opening credits for the show The Phoenix are amazing. This must be the most Kenneth Anger-esque thing to ever appear on network TV
