Saw a flier today for a show by a band called The Miami Ice Machine.

Gotta love it.

I know this is a rerun, but put cool -- and actual -- band names here.

The greatest band name of all time:

[url=http://tinyurl.com/nmm5f]Free Beer.[/url] (This isn't the version I was thinking of, but Allmusic doesn't have much on the original). Did very well on the bar circuit.

Other great names:

Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, MIck, and Tich
Soft White Underbelly (which, for some reason, changed their name to the slightly less interesting Blue Oyster Cult)
The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band
It's a Beautiful Day
Blodwyn Pig
Flash and the Pan
Old and in the Way
Hatfield and the North (named after a road sign)

There was a band out of Texas in the '70's which never made much of an impact but their name was good, albeit litigious: Elvis Presley & the Beatles.

I came across the name of this cover band recently...Ivory Debris.

As in White trash.
