I think Earnest already has the best one possible....
I was always partial to the punk rock stage names...Rat Scabies, Chuck Biscuits, Joey Baloney, Vag Moore, HeWhoCannotBeNamed (He-Who for short), Jello Biafra, Lux Interior, etc etc....
Some of the Black Metal ones are great too... HellHammer! on drums!!! The Executioner on guitar!!!666...LOL |

My old buddy David signed up to play at an open mike as "Blind Hairy Palms." He made a grand entrance by having 2 of his Lady friends lead him to the stage while a third lady carried his old National Style O. During this procession he uttered phrases like "there is enough of me to go around girls."
We used to have a local band here in the DC area called "Root Boy Slim and the Sex Change Band."
Out in Boulder CO I used to see flyers for a band called "Big Head Todd and the Monsters."

I actually submitted Rhonda Rection to Car Talk as their "Navigation Specialist". Maybe they didn't like the fact that I mentioned her brother Hugh G.
On St. Patricks day, I was thinking that all of our Jewish friends could be honorary LepreCohen's.

I remember Root Boy Slim... Pretty good band, if I recall. Aren't Big Head Todd and the Monsters still touring?
One of my all time favorite (actual band names) was/is Simon Stokes and the Black Whip Thrill Band. They had "hits" such as "Captain Howdy" (as in the movie The Exorcist) and "The Ballad of George and Lenny" (as in Steinbeck's book Of Mice And Men )
Lyrics to "The Ballad of George and Lenny":
Tell me how it's gonna be now, George
Tell me how it's gonna be
I done a bad thing. I didn't mean to, George
Tell me how it's gonna be
Take off your hat Lennie and look across the way
Soon it's gonna be alright
We'll get a piece of land that we can call our own
Soon it's gonna be alright
Can we get some rabbits, cuz I'll feed em George
Why, I'll watch over those rabbits day and night
And we'll get a farm now, Hey won't we George
Tell me how it's gonna be
Oh take off your hat Lennie and just look across the way
And soon it'll be alright
Yeah we'll get a piece of land and it'll belong to us
Soon it's gonna be alright
Keep on pickin'!

When I was a mere pup dreading my first cross-country solo the instructor warned us to stay well clear of Mighty Mount Driskill, whose lofty peaks* have ensnared many an unwary student.+
Living as I do now, a mere stones throw away from Driskill's rime encrusted heights, I have been tempted to use the name "Driskill Mountain Boys", but I don't think anyone would get it.
Charlie
*Mt. Driskill, elevation 535 feet MSL. The highest point in Louisiana.
+Basically, they flew right over it without noticing.

We put together a band in Healdsberg CA, the fella that owned the club was a GREAT singer and showman named Norm Lausten...he went by the name..Cisco.
Since he was 6 months older than I was, I introduced us to the crowd one night as "Cisco and the Kids"
...It stuck. We named our drummer "Ricky Rimshot. |

| There's no glamour or wit in this one, but an old gig I had in western New York with The Innkeepers-- Dickie Lee, bass; Jim Eck, lead; Steve Waldo, guitar; Rick Cicerie, drums--was the best I've ever had. Were they still an item, I'd pick with them again without a second thought. |
