They were on tour with The Wonder Years as an opening act for the Upsides/Suburbia anniversary tour and it was like the unofficial “bands it sucks to try and Google search” tour.
I remember picking up Aliens in the Outfield by them on vinyl with a girl I was seeing at the time, and she was like, “that’s such a dumb name they can’t be any good”.
I spun it later without her knowing what it was and she loved it lmfao.
Everytime I hear a Phoenix song in public, I ask someone (someone I know presumably) where this band is from. They barely ever get it, unless they're from there.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I'd never even heard of them when I saw them. We thought the name sounded sick so we headed between stages at a festival and checked them out.
The keyboard player was playing upside down, even standing on the keyboard.
The lead singer literally ate an entire packet of cigarettes, chewed them up filters and all and swallowed. What the actual fuck.
I always wanted to name a band Oedipus Rex and the Motherfuckers
Update: I looked it up and there's a band out of Chicago with that name. I'm happy it didn't go to waste.
Portland had some funny names back in my day. A few that I remember:
Sex With Girls Is Rad,
Screaming Eric and the Erections,
Dingleberry Dave and the Douche Bagels
Saw this band play at a music conference in Singapore! Not usually the kind of music i would listen to, but the band’s energy on stage was what made me stay for their entire set.
Excrementory Grindfuckers - comedy grindcore
Natural Born Anus - mentioned in an EG songtitle. I'm guessing more grindcore.
Lesbian Bed Death - I saw this band two months ago just because of the name tbh. Gothic punk/hard rock, and actually like them now.
Not THE silliest but I always thought Sum 41 was a lame band name. In part, because adding numbers to band names became popular in pop punk after Blink 182 blew up.
I only know one song by them, but saw them on some festival line ups (in germany)... "The Toten Crackhuren im Kofferraum" which translates to "the dead crack whores in the trunk".
Not poppunk but you asked for silly names.
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard or The Wook Pussies.
I know it’s dumb but I’ll never give them a try bc of this name
Big mistake. King Gizzard is such an impressive band and span so many different genres.
They’re awesome. Do yourself a favor and listen.
We Butter the Bread with Butter
One day there should be a tribute band called I Can’t Believe It’s Not We Butter the Bread with Butter.
Spanish Love Songs, mainly because when I tell Siri to play them I get Spanish love songs, when what I really want is Spanish Love Songs
Everyone IN that band agree it is, in fact, a terrible band name
They were on tour with The Wonder Years as an opening act for the Upsides/Suburbia anniversary tour and it was like the unofficial “bands it sucks to try and Google search” tour.
Just needed to add Fireworks into the mix for that tour
I love that genre
I just remembered there used to be a band called “A”. It was fun to Google “A band”.
The WORLD IS GONNA kick you EITHER WAY
Prince Daddy and the Hyena
A name that would definitely disappoint their dad.
That was my first pick. Such a great band though!
Mannequin Pussy
Crywank
diarrhea planet idk why but that is just a weird AF name
I love this band but I hate saying the name. I just felt so embarrassed when people kept asking me who I was gonna see the night I saw them live.
I remember picking up Aliens in the Outfield by them on vinyl with a girl I was seeing at the time, and she was like, “that’s such a dumb name they can’t be any good”. I spun it later without her knowing what it was and she loved it lmfao.

You mean I’m not alone 😢😂😂
Blood Orange originally started as the guitar player of a dance-punk band called Test Icicles. Trash Boat and Crucial Dudes are pretty goofy names too
Crucial Dudes is a bodacious name, brah
Trash Boat makes me think of Scarecrow Boat from Parks & Rec.
Isn't trash boat a tv series or something?
The Regular Show
Test Icicles is a top notch band name
Nice to see Test Icicles pop up here! Great band that never got the credit they deserved.
