>Agree with the poster about Death Cab for Cutie. Should be just Death Cab. Maybe it's copyright or trademark issues.

"Death Cab for Cutie" is the title of a classic track by the Bonzo Dog Band

>Faces

A "face" was a scene maker in '60s mod slang. The original members were all quite short. Hence... Small Faces

Makes sense to me

>terrible name, horrible band. Does that count?

IMHO, no

There were many shitty '70s bands w/equally shitty names.

Good name/bad band is much more interesting

ETA: I meant good band/bad name lol

Tho I'm waiting for a good name/bad band thread

The problem is

There’s infinitely more bad bands over time then good bands

But to have a crappy band name and achieve worldwide acclaim despite the crummy name is much more of a feat

Take for example The Kinks

Be Bop Deluxe, great band ahead of it's time but the name just didn't match the music.

Be Bop Deluxe...Ships in time night

While hardly my fave band name, when you consider the various meanings of the word "kink", and some of the rumors swirling around the band, it does seem appropriate.

I'm going with Viagra Boys. Great band, not wild about the name. And GBV are great especially Alien Lanes.

What else would you call them? That is exactly who they are. I would feel odd wearing their merch.
