A quick - and perhaps not very good - game for a Friday afternoon. This is a challenge that (for no very good reason) I set myself last night:

Can you think of a band-name which consists of five or more words?

Rules:

- You can't count a leading 'the'.
- Names of the form 'N and the Ms' don't count; names containing 'and' are disallowed if it is used to link two concepts together. Four Poofs And A Piano (disappointingly) don't count.
- It must be a real band, with "proper" evidence of its existence. Ken Dodd's Dad's Dog's Dead is a bloody marvellous band-name, but I'm not yet 100% convinced that they ever really existed for any purpose other than having a great name.
- Must be the band's usual name. The more bizarre flights of fancy occasionally used by the Bonzo Dog Doodah Band probably don't count.
- Preferably not a descriptive name (eg Royal College of Music Baroque Orchestra). I can't come up with a good rule to cover this, it's... just a bit dull as an answer.
- Probably other constraints which I will make up capriciously on the spur of the moment.

I was surprised to find I could only think of three (though I have come up with a fourth while writing this, although I know nowt about them beyond [livejournal.com profile] d_floorlandmine liking them...)

…And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead
Get Cape, Wear Cape, Fly
Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine (although I'm not sure if the 'the' in that should count really)
Tim and Sam's Tim and the Sam Band with Tim and Sam

… erm that's it off the top of my head. Hmm.

Hmm indeed, reading the comments there are tons that I didn't think of. Need cup of tea to revive brain!

You can have points anyway for correct ellipsis use in your first band-name :)

And I even used the … character rather than three dots ;-)
