Okay, everyone: On TV last night I watched one of my favorite rockabilly performers, The Reverend Horton Heat. He’s pretty darn good, and let’s admit that it’s a great name. In his honor, join me in suggesting awesome band names. (And by “awesome,” I mean “bizarre.”) Here’s my list:
- The Benign Polyps
- Giant Sucking Sound (hats off to Ross Perot for that one)
- The Dipthongs
- Free Radicals
- Chief Bender and the Monks of Peckham (Chief Bender was a pitcher for the Philadelphia A’s; John Peckham was Archbishop of Canterbury in the 1200’s)
- Judge Learned Hand (Actual name of perhaps the most influential jurist never to serve on the Supreme Court)
- Cubicle Tension
- Parker Bowles and the Adenoids
- Fluid Moves (A little double entendre)
- Kareem O. Wheat and the Huguenots
Anyone looking for a band name: never say I didn’t do anything for ya.
Your ideas?

Fun post, Mr. Mosman.
For what it’s worth, I linked to it at my blog — http://www.writers-notebook.com — adding a variation on your Chief Bender idea.
By the way, if you’re all at interested in Charles Bender’s compelling life story — I see that you’re a fan of both sports and books — I’ve written a book about him that’s received some generous reviews.
